Comprehensive Skip Hire Services Across Warwick
Our skips range from 2 yard for household waste up to 20 yard options for larger projects. Each skip size holds a specific amount of waste, so if you're not sure which one you need, give us a call for advice.
We deliver to Warwick and surrounding locations including Leamington Spa, Kenilworth, Wellesbourne, Barford, Chase Meadow, and Woodloes. Our lorries operate regularly along the M40 corridor and around the A46.
Domestic Skip Hire in Warwick
Our skip service for Warwick homeowners is straightforward. We deliver the skip at an agreed time to your location. For skips on driveways or private land, you'll need enough space for the skip size ordered. For public road placement, we handle the permit applications with Warwickshire County Council.
Many Warwick residents use our skips for various waste types. Garden clearances are common in spring, while home renovations generate mixed waste, including plasterboard and timber. The older properties around Smith Street and West Street often need skips during renovation work due to the volume of waste created.

Skip Hire Warwick Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need a permit for skip hire in Warwick?
Yes, you need a permit when placing a skip on a public road in Warwick. We sort the paperwork with Warwickshire County Council, which takes 2-3 days to process. There's a fee for this which we add to your quote. Skips on private property like driveways don't need permits. In busy parts of town like West Street, permit processing can be slower, especially in summer when more people are doing house work.
What can't go in a Warwick skip?
Some materials aren't allowed in our skips due to local rules. These include asbestos, chemicals, paint tins, gas bottles, tyres, electrical items, fridges, batteries and medical waste. You can take electronics to the recycling centre on Princes Drive in Leamington. It's open Tuesday to Saturday and gets busy after lunch. If you're clearing a house and aren't sure about certain items, ring us for advice.
How do I pick the right skip size?
A 4-yard skip works for garden waste and small jobs, fitting about 45-55 bin bags. Our 6-yard skip is common for kitchen work in Warwick and fits in most spaces. Houses in Woodloes often need 8-yard skips for bigger jobs. The older houses near the castle create more waste during renovations because of the thick walls and old materials. Businesses at Tournament Fields typically use larger 12-yard skips. The 2-yard mini skip fits in tight spots but fills quickly.
How long can I keep a skip?
Our standard hire is 7 days. This gives most people enough time to fill it. Extensions cost a bit extra if you need more time. When you've filled it, call the office and we'll collect it, usually within 2 days. Collection times vary based on our schedule and local traffic. The A46 roundabout gets clogged most mornings, which can delay our drivers getting to addresses in Warwick Gates.
Can you deliver to narrow streets in Warwick?
Yes, we deliver to the cramped streets around the town centre. Our drivers know the tricky spots like the tight corner by Lord Leycester Hospital and the narrow section of Jury Street. For houses with poor access, we use smaller 2 or 4-yard skips. We avoid market days when possible, as the extra cars make deliveries difficult. Sometimes we need to park the lorry and wheel the skip into position on streets like Theatre Street where there's no turning space. Ring us if you're unsure about access to your property.

For skip hire in Warwick town centre, we recommend booking several days ahead due to the permit requirements. Skips for Warwick Business Park can often be arranged more quickly as they're typically placed on private land.
