Wait & Load across Essex
Skip hire without the permit headache. The truck waits while you load.
Wait & Load prices
Set prices by the truck load, disposal and VAT included. Our driver helps, but you supply the help and do the loading within the waiting time for the size you book.
About 25 to 30 bin bags, or the waste from a small bathroom strip-out.
About the same as a 6-yard skip, without a skip sitting on the road.
Builders' waste after a refit, a shop strip-out or a big flat clear-out.
The whole truck: site clear-ups, office strip-outs, large garden and shed jobs.
Sizes are a guide and the choice is yours. If you reach your space or time on the day, more is £54 per cubic yard or £30 per 15 minutes, and you can pay for it online on the spot.
Best for
- Businesses and sites with nowhere to park a skip

How it works
Pick a truck size
Quarter, half, three-quarter or full load. Each has a set price and a maximum waiting time.

Our driver brings the truck and helps, but you need people on hand to do the loading while it waits.
Loaded and gone
No skip left on the road and no permit to arrange. You get a waste transfer note for the load.

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.
Questions people ask
Who does the loading?
You do, with our driver helping. Have the waste ready and enough people on hand for the amount. The set prices are worked out on that basis.
How long does the truck wait?
Each size has a maximum waiting time, shown with its price: the bigger the load, the longer you get, up to an hour for a full load. Need longer? Add extra waiting time when you book, or buy it online on the day.
What if I want you to do the lifting?
Then book a collection instead of wait and load: list the items and bags and our crew loads them (carrying out from inside is by the hour). That's priced per item: see single item and bag collection. For a bigger clear-out, ask for a rubbish clearance estimate.
Is it cheaper than a normal skip?
Often yes, once you factor in the council permit and the lamps and cones a road skip needs.
What if I have more than I booked?
The driver tells you when you've reached the space or the waiting time you paid for. You can then buy more space by the cubic yard, or more time, online on the spot and carry on loading. The sizes on this site are a guide only, so the choice of size is yours.
What if I can't fill the truck?
You pre-pay for the space you book, so unused space isn't refunded. If you're between sizes, book the smaller one and top up on the day if you need to.
Who does the loading?
It depends which you book. On an item collection our crew loads it: leave it out the front or somewhere easy to reach, or add carrying out from inside at £72 an hour. On wait and load our driver brings the truck and helps, but you supply the help and do the loading, and the truck waits up to 15 minutes for a quarter load, 30 for a half load, 45 for a three-quarter load and 60 for a full load.
What if I have more than I booked on wait and load?
You choose the size and pre-pay for that space. The sizes shown are a guide only: we can't see your waste, so we can't be responsible if the size you pick turns out too small. The driver tells you when you've reached the space or the waiting time you paid for, and more of either is charged as an extra that you can pay for online on the spot. Extra space is £54 per cubic yard and extra waiting time £30 per 15 minutes. Buy more space or time.
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.
