Bolton skip hire FAQs

Got questions about our Bolton skip hire? See if we’ve answered them below.

How much is it to hire a skip in Bolton?

Skip hire prices in Bolton start from around £180 for a 2-yard mini skip. The final cost depends on your hire duration, any additional permit costs, and the type of waste you’re removing.

What can I put in a hired skip?

You can put general household waste, garden waste, wood, metal, and construction debris in a hired skip. Hazardous items like asbestos, tyres, and electrical appliances cannot be placed in a standard skip.

How long can I hire a skip for?

Skip hire periods are usually 14 days for domestic customers and 5 weeks for commercial customers. Extensions can be arranged if you need your skip for any longer.

Do you recycle the waste?

Yes, we aim to recycle 100% of the waste we collect at our licensed Bolton recycling centre, helping you dispose of your waste more sustainably.

Do I need a permit for my skip hire?

You only need a skip permit if the skip will be placed on a public highway. If it’s going on private property, like a driveway, no permit is needed.

Can I book same-day delivery?

We offer same-day and next-day skip hire delivery across Bolton and Greater Manchester, wherever possible. Book your skip early to secure your preferred delivery date.
