Skip hire

We can supply skips for commercial or residential use. The service is available to either businesses or people that are within the city boundary, however there are criteria to meet for which terms and conditions apply. Enquiries are also welcomed from those within close proximity to the city.

Our skips are suitable for most types of heavy or bulky non-hazardous wastes, if you are unsure about the size of the skip you require or for the type of wastes accepted we would be pleased to offer advice.

If you would like to hire a skip from Southampton City Council it must be placed on private land i.e. a front garden or private road.
