Skip Hire Alternative across the UK

Looking at skip hire in your city? Our skip hire alternative does the same job with less hassle. Instead of a skip sitting on your drive or needing a road permit from the council, a JunkSphere crew arrives with a van, loads everything themselves and leaves the same day. You only pay for the space you fill.

Skip Hire Alternative: common questions

How is this different from hiring a skip?

A skip is dropped off and you load it yourself over several days. We arrive with a van, do all the loading and leave straight away, so there's no permit, no space needed on your drive and no risk of neighbours filling it.

Is it cheaper than a skip?

For most household jobs, yes, because you only pay for the space you actually fill and the labour is included. Mini-skip-sized loads start at £80.

Do I need a skip permit?

No. Permits are only needed when a skip sits on a public road. Because we load and leave, there's nothing to get a permit for.

Can you take things a skip can't?

Yes. Most skip firms won't accept fridges, TVs, mattresses or electricals. We can, because we take them to the right recycling facilities.

How much does a skip's worth of waste weigh?

It depends what's in it. Rubble and soil are heavy, so a van full of rubble is priced differently from a van full of furniture. We confirm the price before loading.

How quickly can you come?

Same-day and next-day slots are available in most areas, which is often faster than a skip delivery.

Which cities and towns do you cover?

We currently offer wait-and-load skip hire in 75 UK cities, 51 large towns and 62 counties, from London and Luton to Glasgow, Cardiff and Belfast. Find your city or town in the lists above.
