What Affects The Cost Of Local Skip Hire?
You may have noticed a price range next to each skip size rather than a single figure. That’s because a few factors influence the final cost of your skip hire. Understanding them makes it easier to budget and to choose the most cost-effective option for your project:
- Skip size – The bigger the skip, the higher the price. Choosing the right size the first time avoids paying for space you don’t need or having to hire a second skip.
- Your location – Delivery distance affects the price, which is why our rates are shown as a range. Areas closest to our base near Exeter sit at the lower end, with more outlying parts of Devon towards the higher end.
- Type of waste – Heavier materials such as soil, rubble and hardcore weigh more and are charged differently to lighter mixed household or construction waste. You can select your waste type when booking.
- Hire duration – Our standard hire period is 14 days, which is plenty for most projects. Extensions can be arranged if you need the skip for longer.
- Road permits – If your skip needs to go on a public road rather than private property, a council permit is required. We handle the paperwork for you, though a permit fee may apply.
Which Skip Size Do I Need?
Choosing the right skip is the single biggest thing you can do to keep costs down. Our fixed skips range from compact 2-yard skips right up to large 16-yard skips, so there’s a size for every job:
- 2-yard and 3-yard skips – Our smallest skips, ideal for small home clear-outs, bathroom refits and minor DIY projects, or tight-access sites with limited space.
- 4-yard and 5-yard skips – A popular choice for larger domestic jobs such as kitchen refurbishments, house clearances and general garden waste. The 4-yard skip is one of our most requested sizes, and pairs well with our garden waste removal service.
- 6-yard and 8-yard skips – Perfect for construction and builders’ waste such as rubble, bricks and heavy materials. The 8-yard skip is a firm favourite for bigger renovation projects.
- 12-yard and 16-yard skips – Our largest skips, best suited to major renovations, commercial fit-outs and bulky but lightweight waste. The 16-yard skip is for light waste only. For ongoing business waste, take a look at our commercial waste collection service.

FAQs About Local Skip Hire
We often come across questions about skip-hire costs and services, so we’ve compiled some frequently asked questions to help you find the best option for your needs.
Q1) What size skip do I need for my project?
The skip size you need depends on the type and volume of waste. As a rough guide, 2 to 4 yard skips suit small home clear-outs, 6 to 8 yard skips are ideal for construction waste, and 12 to 16 yard skips are best for major renovations and bulky waste. See the size guide above for more detail.
Q2) Do I need a permit for skip hire in Devon?
If you plan to place the skip on private property, such as a driveway, no permit is needed. However, if the skip is placed on a public road, a permit is required. We can arrange this for you as part of your booking.

Our standard skip hire period is 14 days, but extensions can be arranged upon request.
