8-Yard Skip Hire prices

VAT included. Every other size is compared below.

What fits

Full renovations, house clearances, mixed building waste. Roughly 80 bin bags, or 6 to 7 builders' bulk bags.

On the road?

Too big for a highway licence in Essex; needs a driveway or private land. Enquire for the permit price.

Before you book

What it costs
£409 for a 8-yard skip, VAT included. You pay by card when you book online.
What's included
Delivery, collection, 10 days' hire and licensed disposal, with a waste transfer note.
Who loads it
You fill it at your own pace, level with the rim. This size takes soil, rubble and hardcore.
When we come
Booked Monday to Friday, except bank holidays, from the next working day. A road skip waits for the council licence, which we apply for.
What could cost extra
Extra weeks are £60 each. A road permit is priced on enquiry, and we confirm the cost before you book. Banned items found in the skip are left on site or charged at the disposal rate.
After you book
Pay by card when you book online, through Stripe's secure checkout, and your confirmation comes by email. Free to cancel until 4pm the working day before; after that £42, or £60 once the lorry has left.

Trade accounts are invoiced monthly on 14-day terms once agreed in writing. Our terms

How it works

Pick a size

2 to 16 yards, with the price fixed online. Delivery, collection, 10 days' hire and disposal are included.

Choose a delivery day

Driveway skips usually arrive the next working day. Road skips wait for the council licence, which we apply for.

Fill it, we collect it

Tell us when it's full. We collect, tip at a licensed facility and send you the waste transfer note.

Rather ask first?

Tap a few answers about the job and add a photo or two. We come back with an estimate by phone, text, WhatsApp or email, usually the same working day.

  • A photo is the quickest way to an accurate estimate.
  • The estimate is based on what you tell us and your photos. If the job turns out different on the day, such as more waste or harder access than described, we agree any change with you before we start.
  • No obligation, and nothing to pay until you book.
  • Awkward access, mixed waste or a job that isn't on the list: this is the form for it.

No obligation and nothing to pay. We come back with an estimate based on your answers and photos, usually the same working day.

Questions people ask

How long can I keep a 8-yard skip?

10 days are included. Extra weeks are £60 each, added when you book or later by text.

Can I overfill it?

No. Skips must be level with the rim to be lifted legally. If it's heaped, we'll level it off and leave the excess, or you can book a second skip.

What can't go in a 8-yard skip?

Asbestos, tyres, gas bottles, fridges and freezers, paint and chemicals, and plasterboard mixed with other waste (bag it separately). Gas bottles can't go in the skip, but we can take them separately: tell us and we'll quote by type.

When do I pay?

Payment is taken by card when we confirm your booking, by phone or a secure payment link. Trade accounts are invoiced monthly on 14-day terms once agreed in writing.

Are you licensed?

Yes. LM Waste Management Ltd holds Environment Agency upper-tier waste carrier licence CB/DU308513, carries £10m public liability insurance and issues a waste transfer note for every job, or a hazardous waste consignment note where the law needs one.

“Highly Recommend - Cheaper than a skip!! Reliable and took everything he could fit on his van!! Thank you so much!!”

“Great friendly service from LM waste. They used a small iveco truck with hiab to remove 4 x 1 tonne bulk bags of soil and rubble from outside my house. The access road is unmade, narrow and unsuitable for the usual large skip/ grab lorry. I will be using them again. Thanks very much.”

“LM Waste management cleared my Mum’s garage which was full to bursting with all kinds of trash accumulated over decades. They turned up when they said they would, worked fast and efficiently, separated out the stuff she wanted to keep, filled a huge skip with the rest, cleaned up after themselves and put the good stuff neatly back on the well- swept floor of the empty garage. And came back for the broom when they saw they’d missed some sand that had fallen on the driveway. Great job. Very happy to recommend them.”
