Concrete is one of the heaviest materials you can put in a skip. A single cubic metre weighs roughly 2,400 kg, which means a 4-yard skip filled entirely with concrete comes close to 8 tonnes, well above the road-legal limit for most skip lorries. For that reason we price concrete and aggregate loads separately, we specify a maximum fill weight on every hire, and we size the skip down rather than up. A 4-yard or 6-yard skip is usually the right choice; for larger demolition volumes a grab lorry is faster and cheaper because it can take a bigger payload in one run. Clean, uncontaminated concrete, hardcore and crushed aggregate are classed as inert waste. That is good news for recycling rates: we send this material to a licensed aggregate recycling facility where it is crushed and graded into recycled aggregate used in road sub-base and new construction. To keep loads recyclable, keep your skip free from soil with heavy clay or organic content, tarmac with tar contamination, plasterboard, and general mixed rubbish. Mixed loads get charged at a higher gate rate at the facility and some are turned away. Reinforced concrete with exposed rebar is accepted in smaller volumes, but projecting steel can damage the skip and the lorry, so cut rebar flush where possible before loading. We cover a 30-mile radius from Faringdon SN7 7SS, including Swindon, Abingdon, Wantage, Witney and Cirencester. Same-day or next-day delivery is usually available; call to confirm before booking if timing is critical.
