Restricted Items in Skip Hire Rickmansworth

Electrical Equipment and Appliances

Items such as computers, dishwashers, televisions, freezers, electric cookers, microwaves and fridges cannot be placed in our skips. They fall under WEEE regulations and contain components that need specialist treatment, so take them to a registered recycling centre for proper disposal.

Large Batteries

Large batteries, whether from a car or other equipment, cannot go in our skips because they contain lead, acid and other harmful chemicals that can leak or cause fires. Take them to a household waste recycling centre or a specialist collection point - supermarket collection boxes are for small household batteries only.

Gas Cylinders

Empty or full gas cylinders cannot be disposed of using our skip hire service, as residual gas may still be present and can explode under pressure. Return the cylinder to the place of purchase for refilling or safe reuse.

Medical Waste

Our skips cannot be used for medical waste, including needles, syringes or biological waste, as it is classed as hazardous clinical waste. Arrange disposal through a pharmacy sharps return scheme or a licensed medical waste disposal company.

Asbestos

Asbestos is a highly hazardous material and cannot be disposed of using our skip hire service - B&K does not collect it. Regulations require a licensed asbestos removal contractor to handle, package and dispose of it safely.

Tyres

Old tyres are not suitable for skip hire, as they are difficult to process and pose a fire risk. Take them to a tyre retailer or garage, or use a registered tyre collector who can recycle or repurpose them.

Fuel, Solvents, and Paints

Fuel, solvents and liquid paints contain dangerous chemicals and cannot be placed in our skips. They are combustible, can cause severe chemical burns and may leak into soil and water. Take them to a household waste recycling centre or a licensed hazardous waste disposal site.

Skip Hire vs Rubbish Removal - Which Do You Need?

B&K offers both skip hire and rubbish removal in Rickmansworth. The right choice depends on your project, how much space you have and how quickly you need the waste gone.

Choose Skip Hire when...

You have a large or multi-day project, such as a renovation or building work.
You want to load waste at your own pace, over up to 14 days.
You have space for a skip - a driveway, or a public road where we can arrange a permit.
You are clearing heavier waste such as soil, rubble or construction materials.

Choose Rubbish Removal when...

Access is limited - no driveway, a skip lorry can't fit, or a permit is not possible.
You need a one-off, same-day clearance rather than an ongoing skip.
Our cage van handles it: 1 tonne loading capacity, or up to 5 tonnes with the large cage.
It is a wait-and-load service - your waste is loaded within a standard 30-minute window, so please have it ready and accessible.

Not sure which is right for you? Get in touch and we will point you to the most cost-effective option.

Same-day Delivery & Flexible Hire

B&K keeps skip hire in Rickmansworth simple. Order before 12pm for same-day delivery, subject to availability, and we will do our best to get your skip to you the same working day. Our standard hire period is 14 days, so you can fill the skip at your own pace, with rental fees of £50 per skip (or £70 per roll-on roll-off container) applying only if you keep it longer. Where a skip needs to go on a public road, we arrange the skip licence with Hertfordshire County Council for you, and for sites where a skip is not practical, our wait and load service offers a fast alternative.

FAQ Skip Hire in Rickmansworth

How much does skip hire in Rickmansworth cost?

Skip hire prices in Rickmansworth start from £295 + VAT (£354.00 inc. VAT) for an 8-yard skip. A 12-yard skip starts from £360 + VAT (£432.00 inc. VAT) and a 16-yard skip from £445 + VAT (£534.00 inc. VAT). Every price includes delivery, collection and responsible disposal. The final cost depends on the skip size, hire duration and whether you need a permit. See our price list or contact us for an accurate quote.

What size skip do I need?

It depends on the volume of waste. An 8-yard skip holds around 6 m³ (60-70 bin bags) and suits garden clearances, renovations and heavy waste. A 12-yard skip holds around 9 m³ (80-100 bags), ideal for bulky, lighter rubbish from house moves or strip-outs. A 16-yard skip holds around 12 m³ (120-130 bags) and is best for the largest commercial clearances of light waste. If you are unsure, call us and we will recommend the right size.

How long is skip hire for?

The standard hire period is 14 days, which suits most domestic and commercial projects. You can fill the skip at your own pace within that time. If you need a longer duration, please arrange this with our team in advance - rental fees of £50 per skip (or £70 per roll-on roll-off container) may apply after the standard period, and any road permit will need extending too.

Do I need a permit for a skip on the road?

Yes. If the skip is placed on a public road or council-owned land rather than on private land such as a driveway, a skip licence from Hertfordshire County Council, the highway authority for Rickmansworth and the wider Three Rivers district, is required by law. B&K arranges the licence and paperwork for you. If the skip needs a parking bay, a parking suspension from Three Rivers District Council may also be needed. Council fees are charged separately, as they are set by the council.

Can you hire a skip without a driveway?

Yes. If you don't have a driveway, the skip can be placed on the public road with a council permit, which we arrange for you. If a permit is not possible or space is limited, our wait and load cage van service is a practical alternative.

Do you offer same-day skip delivery?

Yes, we offer same and next-day delivery. For same-day delivery, please order before 12pm, subject to availability. Early-afternoon enquiries are welcome and we will always do our best to help.

What can you put in a skip?

You can dispose of a wide variety of non-hazardous waste. Acceptable items include general household rubbish, garden waste, wood, plastic, metal, soil and hardcore. Furniture and bathroom fittings are also permitted, though POPs items such as certain upholstered furniture carry an extra charge. Always consult us if you are unsure about a specific item.

What can't you put in a skip?

The following can't go in a skip and need specialist disposal: electrical appliances (WEEE), large batteries, gas cylinders, medical waste, asbestos, tyres, and fuel, solvents or paints. Most of these can be taken to a local household waste recycling centre. For asbestos, a licensed contractor is required.

Can I put soil and rubble in a skip?

Yes, but soil, rubble and hardcore are classed as heavy waste and are subject to the skip's weight limit. For heavy waste we recommend an 8-yard skip, which takes up to 8 tonnes. Please tell us in advance if you are disposing of heavy waste so we can advise on the best skip.

What is the weight limit for a skip?

Our 8-yard skip takes up to 8 tonnes, while our 12-yard and 16-yard skips each take up to 7 tonnes. Larger skips are designed for bulky, lighter waste, whereas the 8-yard skip is well suited to heavier materials such as soil and rubble.

What happens to the waste after collection?

After collection, your waste is taken to our own waste transfer station, where it is sorted and processed. Around 98% of everything we receive is recycled, diverting it from landfill in line with our environmental responsibilities as a registered waste carrier.

Do your prices include VAT?

Our headline prices are shown excluding VAT, with VAT added at the standard rate. For example, an 8-yard skip in Rickmansworth starts from £295 + VAT, which is £354.00 including VAT. Delivery, collection and disposal are included in the price.

What are the benefits of skip hire?

Hiring a skip offers convenience and efficiency.

Time-Saving: It eliminates the need for multiple trips to the local tip, so you can focus on the project.
Safety: It keeps your site clear of dangerous debris, reducing the risk of accidents.
Environmental Responsibility: As a fully licensed carrier, B&K sorts and recycles the collected waste - 98% of what we receive is diverted from landfill, contributing to a greener Rickmansworth.
Cost-Effective: For any significant amount of waste, a skip is often cheaper than alternative disposal methods once you factor in fuel and time.
