Soil, hardcore, concrete and aggregates are the heaviest materials you will put in a skip, and weight limits matter more here than anywhere else. A 4-yard builders skip holds roughly 3 to 4 tonnes, which is about right for a typical domestic patio breakout or small groundworks job. Push beyond that and the lorry cannot legally lift it. For larger excavations we recommend a 2-yard or 3-yard mini skip filled and swapped in runs rather than one overloaded 6-yard, or we can arrange a grab lorry for bulk muckaway instead. Keep these loads clean. Mixed waste ruins the recycling value of inert materials, so do not throw general rubbish, timber or plasterboard in with your soil and rubble. Clean inert loads go to a licensed recycling facility where they are crushed and graded back into aggregate for new construction. Contaminated soil is a different matter: if the ground has been treated with herbicides, has fuel spills, or is near old industrial land, it may require a waste characterisation test before we can accept it. If you are unsure, tell us when you book. We cover Faringdon, Abingdon, Wantage, Swindon, Cirencester and surrounding areas within 30 miles of SN7 7SS. Street placement of a skip requires a council permit, which we can apply for on your behalf. Driveways do not need a permit. Skips placed on a public road must carry lights and cones overnight under the Highways Act, and we supply these as standard.
