How much is a garden waste skip?

WHAT CAN GO IN
What can go in a garden waste skip?
No, keep these out
Soil, turf, stones, rubble, fence panels, sheds, plastic pots, compost bags, household rubbish and anything painted or treated.
Soil or turf?
Book a hardcore skip instead. They take soil, turf, bricks and stone, and start from £100 + VAT.
CHOOSING A SIZE
Which garden waste skip do you need?
Garden waste is bulky, so size up if you are unsure.
Hedge trims and tidy-ups
Fits a big hedge trim, a season of lawn cuttings or a border clear-out. The most popular size for gardens.
Overgrown gardens
Good for clearing a neglected garden, removing shrubs or a large hedge. Holds roughly 55 to 65 bin bags.
Tree work and big clearances
For tree felling, full garden makeovers or large plots. Our biggest skip, at the lowest cost per yard.
Tip: Cut long branches down and pack them flat. You will fit far more in, and the skip must not be loaded above the top edge.
OTHER OPTIONS
No room for a skip?
If you have no drive, a skip bag from £70 + VAT is easier for small garden jobs. For a garden full of mixed junk, sheds and fencing, our rubbish removal team can clear it all in one visit.
SKIP OR GARDEN BIN?
Is a skip better than a council garden waste bin?
For a big job, yes. A council garden waste bin holds one bin load every two weeks, which is fine for regular mowing. A 4 yard skip holds roughly 35 to 45 bin bags in one go, so a hedge removal or full garden clearance is done in a week instead of months.
Garden waste is light but bulky. That is why it fills a skip quickly but rarely goes over the weight limit, unless soil or turf gets mixed in.
NOT ACCEPTED
Japanese knotweed and invasive plants
Japanese knotweed, giant hogweed and other invasive plants cannot go in any skip. They are controlled waste and need a specialist contractor. If you are not sure what a plant is, send us a photo before you fill the skip.
WHERE IT GOES
What happens to your garden waste?
We take green waste skips to a licensed composting site. The waste is shredded and composted into soil improver, so none of it goes to landfill. Keeping the skip free of plastic and rubble is what makes this possible, and it is also why green waste costs less.

QUESTIONS
Garden waste skips: questions we get asked
Can you put garden waste in a skip?
Yes. Grass, leaves, hedge cuttings, branches, plants and small tree roots can all go in a skip. Keep it to garden waste only and you can book our cheaper green waste skip instead of a mixed waste skip.
How much is a garden waste skip?
Our green waste skips are £150 for a 4 yard, £180 for a 6 yard and £200 for an 8 yard, all plus VAT. That is £70 to £120 cheaper than the same size mixed waste skip. Delivery, collection, tipping and seven days hire are included.
What can't go in a green waste skip?
Soil, turf with lots of soil, stones, rubble, fence panels, plastic pots, bags of household rubbish and anything treated or painted. If those get mixed in, the skip has to be charged at the mixed waste rate.
Can I put soil and turf in the skip?
Not in a green waste skip. Soil and turf are heavy, so they go in a hardcore skip instead, which costs £100 for a 2 yard or £130 for a 4 yard, plus VAT.
What size skip do I need for a garden clearance?
A 4 yard skip suits most hedge trims and garden tidy-ups. A 6 or 8 yard is better for big overgrown gardens or tree work, because garden waste is bulky but light. Send a photo and we will tell you.
What happens to the garden waste?
It is taken to a licensed composting site, so it does not go to landfill.
When is the best time to book a garden waste skip?
Spring and autumn are our busiest times for garden skips. Book a few days ahead in March to May and September to November. A skip on your drive needs no permit.
Can tree stumps and big branches go in?
Branches yes, cut to length and packed flat. Small stumps and roots are fine. Large stumps with lots of soil attached are heavy, so tell us first.
