How much does skip hire cost in Hampshire?

Across Hampshire a 4-yard skip runs from around £130 to £354, with a county median near £231, and a 6-yard from £180 to £432, median about £275. An 8-yard builders skip sits between £200 and £498. Delivery, the standard hire period and collection are included in those figures. A council permit is extra where the skip has to stand on a public road.

Do I need a skip permit in Hampshire?

Only when the skip stands on a public road or verge. Hampshire has no single county-wide fee: Southampton City Council charges £37 for a seven-day permit and asks for seven working days’ notice, while some border towns fall under Wiltshire Council at £100.50 for 28 days, or West Berkshire Council at £62 for seven days. A driveway placement needs no permit.

What size skip do I need in Hampshire?

For a domestic clear-out or a single room, a 4-yard skip is the usual choice, and a 6-yard suits a kitchen or bathroom strip-out. Heavy renovation waste, plaster, tiles and hardcore, is better in a 6 or 8-yard kept within its weight limit. Bulky but light garden and loft waste goes further in the maxi sizes. The depot advises on the call.

Which towns in Hampshire are covered?

All 252 towns and villages in the county’s coverage, from Southampton, Portsmouth and Basingstoke down to the New Forest villages and the north-east Hampshire commuter towns. The A-Z list on this page links each town to its own page, with the local price range, the permit detail for that address and the number for the depot covering it.

Where does skip waste from Hampshire go?

To a licensed transfer station, where it is sorted by material and sent on to specialist recyclers, with only unrecoverable residue going to landfill. Waste carriers working in Hampshire are registered with the Environment Agency, and a waste transfer note is issued for every skip as part of your duty of care under the Environmental Protection Act 1990.

Is same-day skip hire available in Hampshire?

Often, when the booking is placed before late morning and the operator has a skip free on that route. Same-day is most straightforward where the skip goes on a driveway, since that avoids the council notice period, which runs to seven working days in Southampton. Ask about same-day availability for your postcode on the call.

Skip hire across Hampshire

Coverage runs across all 252 towns and villages, from Southampton (248,867 people) and Portsmouth (208,100) on the Solent, through Eastleigh and Gosport, to Basingstoke on the M3 and Farnborough and Aldershot in the north-east. The GU postcodes in the north-east and the RG towns around Basingstoke sit on different depot routes from the PO and SO coast, so the operator answering a Farnborough call is rarely the one covering Portsmouth. Terraced streets in the older parts of Southampton and Portsmouth push more jobs onto the road, and therefore into a permit, while the newer estates around Basingstoke and the New Forest villages usually have driveway space.

Where Hampshire's skip waste goes

Skip waste collected in Hampshire goes to a licensed transfer station, where it is tipped and sorted by material: wood, metal, hardcore, cardboard and clean plastics are routed to specialist recyclers, and only genuine residue reaches landfill. Waste carriers operating in England are registered with the Environment Agency, and a waste transfer note is issued for every load as part of the duty of care under the Environmental Protection Act 1990. Keep the note, since it is the paperwork that shows where the waste went.
