Worksop Skip Hire

You need a permit for skips placed on public roads in Worksop. Skips on private property don't require permits. We sort out the paperwork with Bassetlaw Council, which takes 2-3 working days. The permit cost gets added to your quote. Some streets like Carlton Road have parking restrictions that affect skip placement. Bridge Street often needs special consideration due to its narrow width and traffic flow.

Most household and building waste can go in our skips, but some items are not allowed. You can't put in hazardous materials like asbestos, chemicals or paint tins with wet paint. Electrical items, tyres, gas bottles and batteries must be disposed of separately. Plasterboard sometimes needs separate disposal depending on quantity. The recycling centre on Shireoaks Road takes most of these items. Some commercial clients from Manton Wood bring sorted waste to make recycling easier.

A 2-yard skip holds about 25-35 bin bags and works for small garden jobs. The 4-yard skip takes 45-55 bags and suits bathroom renovations. For kitchen work, most Worksop customers choose 6-yard skips which hold 65-75 bags. The Sandy Lane estate residents often need 8-yard skips for larger garden clearances, fitting 75-85 bags. Soil and concrete are heavy, so go for a smaller size than you might for household waste. Our office can advise based on your specific job.

Skip hire normally runs for 14 days. You can extend this if you ring us before the collection date. Additional charges apply for longer periods. The collection usually happens within 1-2 working days after you call us. Make sure the skip isn't filled above the sides and that our lorry can access it. Sometimes the driver might be delayed if there's a traffic problem on the A57 or roadworks in town. Morning collections generally work better in the busy Prospect area.

Some parts of Worksop have tricky access. Bracebridge streets are narrow and we sometimes use smaller vehicles there. The Celtic Road estate has limited parking, so we try to deliver during school hours when fewer cars are around. Market days (Wednesday, Friday, Saturday) can make town centre deliveries difficult after 8am. Most of Kilton has good access except during school run times. Gateford has wider roads but some newer parts have covenants with rules about skip placement. The industrial estate off Retford Road often needs early morning deliveries due to lorry traffic later in the day.
