Fort William Skip Hire FAQs
Do I need to be in when the skip is delivered?
No, you don’t have to be home when we are delivering your skip. As long as we are able to access where you need it delivered, we will take care of everything.
If you are not likely to be at home, simply provide us with any relevant delivery directions when booking the order. For instance, you may need the skip to be located at a particular part of your driveway. Or you might want to ensure the skip doesn’t prevent entry to your garage.
Whatever the situation may be, simply let us know when ordering, and then we will ensure the directions will be passed to the delivery driver.
What happens to the waste in my skip once I’ve finished?
When your skip is full and prepared for collection, it will be taken to a local waste transfer station to be processed. The contents will be separated into various waste streams, like wood, cardboard, plastics, etc. This ensures that as much of the rubbish as possible will be recycled, which is much better for the environment.
What is the cost of skip hire in Fort William?
To discover how much it is going to cost to hire a skip in Fort William, enter your postcode into the search box above. We will immediately show you the skip sizes we provide in your town and how much each one costs to order.

How much waste can I get in a builder’s skip?
The builders skip is regarded as the common skip that is used throughout the UK. Coming in either a 6 or 8 yd capacity, the builders skip is ideal for most building and construction projects, which is where the name originates from.
The 8 yard builder’s skip is the biggest option that you can use for heavy materials like garden soil, concrete, rock and rubble.
What different sizes do skips come in?
We provide a full-range of skip sizes to match your particular requirements, from 2 to 40 cubic yards. The smallest skip is the 2 yard mini skip, a compact skip perfect for modest DIY projects and domestic clearances. A popular option for larger tasks, renovations and building work is the 8 cubic yard skip.
For Fort William companies with a significant amount of bulky waste, we can supply RoRo skips (roll on roll off skips), between 20-40 cubic yards in size.
If you need help deciding which skip size you need, check out our helpful skip size comparison.
What is a roll-on roll-off container?
The roll-on roll-off container, sometimes referred to as a RORO, is a massive skip that can be used to get rid of large amounts of waste. These bins are primarily for business use but can be hired by residential clients as well. However, you will require plenty of room since these skips vary from 20 to 40 cubic yards, which is much bigger when compared to the average skip you will see on the side of the road.
As a result of the size, these containers should only be provided for light-weight materials like plastics, wood and paper, and so they are not appropriate for disposing of concrete and rubble.
What size is the mini skip?
The mini skip is the most compact size available and may describe either the 2 or 3 yard skip. These small bins are perfect for small DIY work and domestic clearances. Their small footprint means they are perfect for driveways.
They can be used to get rid of all types of waste, from house furniture and broken baby toys to paving slabs and rubble. With a capacity of about 25-30 bin bags of waste, the mini skip can save you needing to make several journeys to the local recycling centre.
What things can I put in my skip?
A skip may be used to get rid of a variety of types of waste. We are experienced in picking up and processing a multitude of materials produced from building jobs, garden projects and household tidy-ups. Examples of allowed waste types include things like:
- Home furniture
- Hedge trimmings
- Soil
- Bricks
- Bathroom toilets and sinks
- Kitchen cabinets and units
The majority of waste materials are usually accepted, and so whether you need to dispose of furniture, plastics, timber or unwanted toys, we can usually take your waste away.
The quantity and waste types you put into your skip can vary based on which size skip you have chosen. Skips do have a weight limit for safety reasons. So if you need to dispose of top soil and rubble, as an example, the biggest size you will be allowed to use would be the 8 cubic yard skip.
What sort of materials am I not allowed to put in a skip?
There are some waste materials that you are not able to discard in your skip. The reason behind this is that some items include hazardous materials which can damage the environment. They can even be dangerous to human health, and so they have to be discarded separately within UK regulations.
Some examples of the items which are restricted include:
- Paint tins
- Solvents Fridges
- Gas canisters
- Computer monitors
- Batteries
- Tyres
- Chemical substances
- Asbestos
- Plasterboard
How do you hire a skip?
Ordering a skip in Fort William with us is incredibly easy. Select the skip size you need and enter a handful of details about where and when you want the skip to be delivered. After that you can pay for the skip using our safe and secure online payment system. We will send a confirmation email and schedule to get your skip delivered on the date you have selected.
How long am I able to keep a skip for?
You can normally hire your skip for up to a fortnight from the date that it is delivered. To ensure that the pick up will be as convenient as possible, there is the choice of providing a preferred collection day when you place your order.
Otherwise, simply tell us when you have finished loading up the skip, and we will arrange to collect sooner – in the vast majority of cases, it will be the next working day.
It may take a little longer to pick up your skip during busy times, however we will always endeavour to come as quickly as possible.
Am I allowed to load up my skip above level load line?
Please don’t overfill your skip as this will make it dangerous to transport, and you may have to empty any rubbish over the level load line. This means that you cannot use sheets of timber, doors or any other object, since this will artificially increase the height of the skip. We have a legal duty of care to make sure that bins are not overloaded or overweight before transporting them.
Please make sure to choose the appropriate size of skip for your needs and get in contact if you’re not sure which size you require. We will be happy to help.
How long does it take to get a skip in Fort William?
Once your skip is ordered, we will do our very best to deliver it to you on a date that suits you. We can usually offer you a next day delivery service for orders made before 3pm on Monday to Friday. This is subject to having the skip placed on private property, as to go on public property (such as a street), you must obtain a skip permit which will take a couple of days to organise.
Due to many factors that could impact our service, we can never promise a precise delivery time. Having said that, we will always aim to tell you whether you can expect it turning up in a AM or PM slot.
Do all skips have a drop down door?
Nearly all skips can be provided with a drop down door, making them easier to load. However, we can’t always guarantee this. If you require a skip that has a drop-down door, please tell us when placing your order, and then we will do our best to accommodate.
Having a skip which has a drop-down door can make it easier to load rubbish into the container, particularly with heavy materials, such as garden soil and rubble, which can be walked in using a wheelbarrow. This also makes it easier to load large and bulky items, like household furniture.
Am I able to throw away electronic products in the skip?
No, you can not throw old or broken electronic waste products in your skip. This includes things such as laptops, hobs, dishwashers, freezers and computer monitors. Electrical items can’t be disposed of in the skip because they can contain hazardous materials and components.
Under the WEEE (Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment) Regulations, old electrical items cannot be sent to landfill and should be reused or recycled.
Do I require approval to get a skip delivered on the street in Fort William?
If at all possible, you want to have the skip dropped on a hard surface. If you are carrying out a household project, then your drive will be best. When it is a commercial job, then a car park or business premises is the ideal solution. Having said that, if neither is available, the street or grass verge could be your only option. As this is public property, you have got to get a permit from your local authority. This is known as a skip permit, and will be required for a skip to be dropped on the road, grass verge or other public property in Fort William. If this is required, we will request the permit to be granted for you. An additional cost, paid to the local authority, will be added to the price of your skip.
