We can deliver skips between 7.00 a.m – 12.00 p.m on Saturdays, but unfortunately not Sundays as our business is closed. If you’re interested in hiring a skip, you can do so here.

If you wish for your skip to be placed on a public highway or road, you will require a HighWay Permit from the relevant Local Authority.

We can arrange for the relevant permits and licences for your skip hire with the local authority upon request.

Councils will charge a fixed fee to those obtaining a permit, from £60 upwards. We can arrange permits for you as needed.

Here at Brown Recycling, we can help advise you on the process of applying for a permit, or make the necessary applications to relevant local authorities to meet the Highways Act 1980 requirements. Remember it takes 3 days for local authorities to process these permits, so plan well in advance.

Yes, we can offer this service whereby the driver will wait whilst you load the skip. However, if you cannot complete the loading within 30 minutes then there is a waiting time surcharge.

Once you are ready for your skip to be collected, call our friendly team and we will arrange the collection.

Your skip should be filled no higher than the height of the sides, and should be level so that we can safely transport your waste to our recycling facility.

Normally, skips can be kept for a maximum of 14 days; however, this time might be extended to accommodate projects and contracts. For skips that will be kept on the road, the standard hire period for a highway permit is 14 days included in the permit cost; extension of highway permits will vary between 7-14 days.

We offer next day delivery in most cases, but in busy periods it can take up to 48 hours for a skip to become available, so customers are advised to order theirs 48 hours in advance to ensure they receive it on time.

Roll-on roll-off vehicles need approximately 20 ft (6 metres) length and 9ft (2.75 metres) width of floor space in order to collect any roll-on roll-off container. A roll-on roll-off bin is 20ft and the truck is 30ft, allowing for the hook to be 5ft. A total of 55ft in a straight line is required. A skip loader for a 8-14yd skip is 12ft and the truck is 21.5ft, allowing 4ft for arms. A total of 37.5ft in a straight line is required.

When ordering a skip, you should give up to 72 hours for us to deliver the skip to you at your property if it is going on the highway, or 48 hours if on the driveway.

• 3yd = 3 tonnes

14yd chain lift and 35yd roll-on roll-off are for bulky waste. Maximum tonnage handled is based on the vehicle lifting the skip, not just the weight that the skip can hold. Our chain lift skip loader vehicle can lift up to 8 tonnes, and our roll-on roll-off vehicle can lift up to 15 tonnes.

• Oil and petrol
• Asbestos

• Fluorescent tubes
• White goods
• Solvents
• Televisions and computer screens
• Creosote
• Upholstered furniture (POPs) and tyres

Our price includes delivery and collection of the skip, as well as our waste management and recycling service following their collection.

If you have not finished with your skip by the agreed pick-up day, call us as early as possible and we can usually be flexible as we have many skips available.
