The cost of an 8 yard skip can vary significantly, typically ranging from £250 to over £380. Prices are influenced by location, with southern UK areas generally experiencing higher costs compared to the north. Additionally, the distance from the yard to your delivery location can impact pricing; more remote areas often incur higher fees.

Justhire offers hire periods of up to 14 days with no extra charges, and we also offer week-long extensions for a fee.

Yes, you can put a skip on the road. Placing on the road requires a skip permit. This can be organised by JustHire, just select skip placement as "on-road" during your checkout. Permits will require an additional fee and the local council can reject an application, without refunding the cost. A great alternative to a road permit is a wait and load service. This is where the skip is lowered, you then have 30 minutes to fill before it is collected again. This can be done on a public road and does not require a permit. During your order just select the "wait and load" option for this service.

All skips have a limit to how high or full they can be filled, indicated by the walls of the skip. The waste you put into the should not exceed these walls. If you overfill a skip, collection may be refused as it can be too dangerous. To read more about how to fill a skip click the link.

In most cases, you don't need to be present for the delivery or collection. However, it's essential to ensure there's enough space for the lorry to access both for drop-off and pick-up. Additionally, make sure the skip isn't obstructed by vehicles. It's also important not to overfill the skip or dispose of hazardous materials, as this could lead to refusal of collection. If any of these conditions aren't met, additional charges for a wasted journey will apply. We have a handy guide here.
