They normally take 3-5 working days to receive from the council although in some cases it can take a lot longer. In terms of how long you have one for, it can be from 1 day up to a month and can be renewed depending on how long you need them.

The price to hire a skip fluctuates depending on the type of waste going into the skip and the size of the skip you require. As a rule of thumb, you should expect to pay from £100 up to about £350 for a domestic skip in most cases.
Depending on the size of the work your undertaking will determine the size of the skip you require. A general rule of thumb is to divide the number of bin bags of junk you’ll generate by ten. For example, if you think you’ll generate 60 bin bags of waste you will require a 6-yard skip.
Items which are safe to place in a skip are household items such as wood, tiles, plaster, furniture, paper, cardboard, garden waste and fabrics. You can also place heavy materials such as bricks, rubble, concrete, stones, metal, pottery and clays.
