Know before you throw.
Plain-English guides to skip sizes, permits and what can actually go in — written by the people who deliver the skips, not by a content farm. Every answer here is the same one you’d get ringing the office on 0113 539 9836.
Skip hire basics.
The four guides that cover ninety-odd percent of the questions we get asked. If you’d rather not read at all, put your postcode into the booking page and live prices appear — or browse skip prices by size first.
What size skip do you need?
Bin-bag maths, the level-load rule, heavy-waste limits and job-by-job recommendations — so you order once and order right.
Read the guideSkip permits, explained
When a permit is needed, when it isn't, what Leeds and Wakefield charge, and how we handle the whole thing on your behalf.
Read the guideWhat can go in a skip?
The definitive yes, no and 'yes, but' list — from garden waste and rubble to plasterboard, mattresses and the items never allowed.

Read the guideGetting rid of specific items.
Some things can’t just go in the skip — and a few can’t go in at all. These guides give you the legal routes for the usual suspects, what each one costs, and which option we’d pick ourselves. The full rules live in what can go in a skip.
How to get rid of a mattress
Every route that works — skip, council collection, retailer take-back — with realistic costs and the one thing not to do.

The blog goes deeper on single subjects — start with what happens to your skip waste after the lorry leaves, or how to choose the right skip size. And if you’d rather ask a person, the Leeds office answers the phone Monday to Saturday.
Family-run since 2017. Our own lorries, our own transfer station, over 90% of what we collect diverted from landfill — more on that on the about page.
