Step by step guide to hiring a skip online

26 November 2025

Drowning in rubble from your latest DIY project? Staring at mountains of clutter and wondering how on earth you'll shift it all? Whether you're tackling a spring clean or managing a commercial clearance, finding an efficient waste disposal solution shouldn't add to your stress.

At W&S Recycling, we've made it incredibly simple to hire a skip online, saving you time and money with our streamlined booking system. Our reliable skip hire service is available to domestic and commercial customers across a range of postcodes, offering competitive prices and a 10% online discount.

With next-day delivery options and a wide range of skip sizes, we're here to make your waste disposal as straightforward as possible.

Step 1 – Tell Us Your Postcode

Getting started with your online skip hire couldn't be easier. Simply head to our user-friendly online booking system and enter your postcode in the designated field, as this allows us to confirm that we can provide skip delivery to your location.

We currently serve customers within the BH, DT1, SO41, SO42, and SO43 postcode areas, ensuring our reliable service reaches homes and businesses throughout Dorset and surrounding regions. Once you've entered your postcode, our system will instantly verify whether you're within our service area.

If you're unsure about your eligibility or have questions about our coverage, our friendly team is always ready to help guide you through the process of how to hire a skip online.

Step 2 – Identify the Type of Waste Going in the Skip

Choosing the correct waste category ensures efficient disposal and helps us provide you with the most appropriate skip hire service. Our system allows you to select from three main waste types:

  • Mixed Waste: Typical general household waste from spring cleans, clear-outs, and everyday rubbish
  • Plasterboard: Dedicated disposal for plasterboard only (bagged waste cannot be mixed in with this)
  • Brick and Rubble: Includes soil, broken concrete, and construction debris

For commercial customers disposing of furniture in bulk such as sofas, mattresses, or upholstered items, these often contain Persistent Organic Pollutants (POPs), harmful chemicals that require specialist handling.

The good news is that you can hire a POP skip from us or schedule a one-time collection for these items.

Please Note: We cannot accept asbestos in general/ mixed waste skips – these must be placed into hazardous waste skips. Rest assured, our sites are fully licensed and compliant for both non-hazardous and hazardous wastes, giving you complete peace of mind.

Step 3 – Pick Your Skip Size

Selecting the right skip size is crucial for managing your project efficiently and keeping costs down. When you hire a skip online with W&S Recycling, you can choose from our range of 4-yard to 12-yard skips, suitable for general waste, hardcore, or plasterboard.

Our handy online guide features clear icons showing the capacity of each skip size, helping you visualise how much waste each one holds. Not sure which size fits your needs? Our team can advise on the perfect option for your specific project.

For larger undertakings, we also supply Roll-on/ Roll-off bins (ROROs) ranging from 15-yard to 40-yard sizes. These are particularly efficient for builder items, extensive clearances, and businesses that need to remove substantial volumes of waste or recyclable materials in one go.

Step 4 – Choose Your Delivery Date and Time

Once you've selected your ideal skip size, it's time to arrange when and where you'd like your skip delivery. Our flexible scheduling ensures your skip hire service fits seamlessly around your plans:

  • Next day delivery available – perfect for urgent projects
  • AM delivery – between 7am and 12pm for early starts
  • PM delivery – between 12pm and 4.30pm to suit your schedule

Simply select your preferred delivery slot during the booking process and provide clear instructions about where we should place your skip. Whether it's on your driveway, in a car park, or another suitable location on your property, accurate placement details help our drivers deliver your skip efficiently and exactly where you need it.

Step 5 – Complete Your Booking

You're almost there! Finalising your online booking takes just moments, and you'll benefit from complete transparency throughout. All our quoted prices include VAT, so there are no hidden surprises when you hire a skip online through our system.

Our standard hire period covers two weeks, giving you plenty of time to fill your skip at your own pace. Once you've finished loading your waste and you're ready for collection, simply let us know. We'll arrange to collect your skip promptly, completing your hassle-free waste disposal experience. Our straightforward online booking system means you can secure your skip in minutes and get on with your project.

Important Information: Skip Licences for Public Roads

Bear in mind that there's one important exception to our online booking process:

If your skip needs to be positioned on a public road or highway, we cannot process your application through our online system.

This is because you'll need to obtain a skip licence or permit from your local council before placement. However, don't let this complicate your waste disposal plans. We're more than happy to arrange the necessary permits from your local council on your behalf. Simply give us a call and our experienced team will handle all the paperwork and liaising with the council, making the process as smooth as possible.
