Skip hire in Blackburn and Darwen

Which skip do I need?

Not sure? Tell us what's going in and the quote only shows you the skips that can take it. Soil, rubble, bricks and tiles are heavy, so they only go in the 2 and 4-yard skips. The 6 and 8-yard are for house clearances and bulky household stuff.

Skip bags

Not enough for a skip? We'll drop off as many one-tonne bags as you need, each holding a cubic yard. Fill them up and we'll lift them away with the crane when you're ready. They're yours for up to a week.

• Plasterboard only if it's all plasterboard, agreed with us first

Wait and load

Don't want a skip sat outside? We'll bring one, wait up to 30 minutes while you load it, and take it straight away. Quick, tidy, and no skip left on the road.

It costs the same as a skip of that size. If you need longer than 30 minutes, it's £15 for every extra 15 minutes.

Plasterboard

A few bits of plasterboard in with your other rubbish are fine. A load of it is different: the tip won't take it mixed, so it goes in its own skip with nothing else in it: the 6-yard is £350 and the 8-yard is £450.

Gas bottles, fridges, TVs and paint

Plenty of the awkward stuff is fine:

• Gas bottles: £5 each
• Fridges and freezers: £40 under-counter, £45 standard, £80 American. Stand them next to the skip, not in it, and we'll take them with it
• TVs: fine, no extra charge
• Paint: fine as long as the tin's sealed

What can't go in

For everyone's safety, and because the tip won't take them, we can't accept:

• Asbestos: we're not licensed for it
• Paint that isn't sealed
• Chemicals or anything hazardous
• Soil, rubble, bricks or tiles in the 6 and 8-yard skips
• A load of plasterboard mixed in with other rubbish
• Fridges and freezers inside the skip

Please don't overfill it

We can't safely move a skip that's piled above the sides, so an overfilled skip has to be levelled before we can take it. Fill it to the top edge and you'll be fine.
