Stamford Skip Hire

Skips on driveways or private land don't need permits. Skips on Stamford roads or pavements require a Lincolnshire County Council permit. We handle the permit application for an additional fee. The council typically processes permits in 2-3 working days. During busy periods like summer, processing can take up to 5 days. Permits for High Street or Red Lion Square sometimes take longer due to traffic management considerations.

You can put household waste, garden rubbish, wood, bricks, furniture, and soil in your skip. You cannot put in hazardous materials, paint tins, gas bottles, tyres, fridges, televisions, or batteries. Plasterboard needs separate disposal if you have more than a few sheets. Some customers in Stamford mix wood and brick waste from renovating older properties - this is acceptable. Heavy materials like soil and rubble should not fill more than half the skip due to weight restrictions on our vehicles.

A 2-yard skip holds about 25-35 bin bags and works for small garden clearances. 4-yard skips suit single room renovations and fit in most Stamford driveways. 6-yard skips are popular for kitchen removals and garden landscaping in areas like Ryhall and Wittering. 8-yard skips handle whole house clearances. Businesses in Stamford Industrial Estate often use our 12-yard skips for commercial waste. The waste must stay level with the skip sides, not piled above the rim.

Our standard hire period is 14 days. This covers most domestic projects in Stamford. Extensions cost £15 per week. Contact us before your collection date if you need more time. Short-term hires of 3-7 days are available at the same rate. We collect skips on weekdays between 7am and 5pm. Morning collections aren't guaranteed due to route planning, but we try to accommodate specific timing requests where possible.

Several Stamford streets have access limitations. The narrow lanes around St George's Street and Barn Hill require our smaller vehicles. Properties on St Mary's Hill sometimes need alternative drop-off points due to the steep incline. Friday market day restricts town centre deliveries between 8am-3pm. Low hanging trees on some roads in Great Casterton and Easton on the Hill occasionally cause delivery delays in summer months. Tell us about any access issues when you book.
