The smaller the skip, the cheaper it is generally. If you’re unsure on which size skip to hire, read our blog post which should help to answer your questions. Another factor that can have a massive factor on price is the type of waste that is being disposed of, for example, any hazardous waste will increase the price of the skip dramatically. You can expect to pay between £175 & £350 for a general waste skip depending on the size and where in the country it’s going to be placed. These prices are without factoring in the cost of a permit if the skip has to go on the road.
