If you’re worried about skip sizes, Ascot Waste Management & Skip Hire can provide what you need, offering everything from small 4-yard skips to large 40-yard roll-on roll-off containers. They can even hook you up with a van if you don’t have room for a skip in your area.

And for those in building sites or busy urban areas, we like that they have enclosed and lockable skips to prevent fly-tipping or unauthorised use. 

We also find it handy that they can handle permits and paperwork if your skip needs to be placed on a public road. You won’t have to fuss over it; all you need to do is let the company know. 

Just keep in mind that they’re closed on weekends, so that means you have to book ahead or squeeze in some time for a quick consultation. 

The good news is that they deliver fast, which also means they accommodate same-day or next-day requests—perfect for last-minute clean-ups.

We love that Midlothian Skip Hire can help you with different types of waste, including household junk and bulk commercial waste. You can scale your hire without needing multiple bookings since they have smaller 4-yard options up to larger roll-on roll-off containers. 

Their team is well-experienced in placing skips on driveways or private land properly without damaging surrounding property as well. 

Now, if you do need to place the skip on a public road, you won’t have to stress about administrative hassle since they can organise it on your behalf—a lifesaver especially for first-timers.

But we did come across reports of late pickups, so you’ll probably have to give them a call when you’re all set for the skip to be collected. 

On the bright side, they provide clear guidelines on the dos and don’ts, particularly with what can or cannot go into skips. You see, having clear rules saves you from confusion and prevents unexpected extra charges. 

Excellent service 

“Skip arrived when arranged, excellent service kept fully informed with emails on process”

Booking was simple and a good price 

“Received great information when I called about skip-hire. Booking was simple & a good price compared with other companies. The skip was delivered on the day stated, and the Driver was very friendly when my Wife was speaking to him.”

One standout feature of Newtown Skip Hire is their knack for recycling to reduce landfill waste and ensure your rubbish is handled responsibly. They can recycle over 90% of waste using advanced sorting systems.

Speaking of sorting, whether you’re clearing out a garden or a major construction job, you can easily get smaller domestic skip sizes up to large 40-yard roll-on roll-off containers. It also helps that they have modern lorries and machinery to manage waste efficiently.

If you need a skip stat, they can hook you up with the size you need within the same day, which is a plus for traders or urgent clearances. 

On the flipside, we’re a bit iffy after hearing some reports about late collections of the skips, causing some inconveniences, especially for those who have it on their driveway. 

Still, we can’t deny that Newtown Skip Hire is a reliable pick, given their speedy delivery and impressive recycling system. 

Very smooth, stress free process 

“Great service received today when I contacted to order a skip for next week! The employee I spoke with was extremely helpful and friendly a very smooth, stress free process! Very professional Newtown! Happy Customer ”

True to its name, WRC Recycling, Waste Management & Skip Hire has been in the industry for over 20 years, helping homeowners and businesses properly manage their waste. 

We commend them for actively promoting recycling, waste-to-energy solutions, and reducing landfill use.

On that note, we’re glad that they tailor waste management to suit each project and job—a game-changer for commercial clients with complex waste requirements.

Another thing we love is their additional services, such as confidential shredding, waste brokerage, and bulk haulage. This saves you time by allowing you to manage all waste needs through one provider. 

Here’s the thing, though: we came across frustrations regarding unresponsiveness, delays, and miscommunication, particularly in addressing concerns. So, directly calling the driver who brought you the skip or an office visit is a safe bet to avoid delays. 

Nonetheless, we’re happy to know that WRC can provide you with everything from 4-yard skips to 40-yard containers.

Polite and accommodating 

“Excellent customer service! We have had several skips from WRC over the past year to help with removal of building waste whilst having work done on out house. The staff at point of booking, delivery and collection are always friendly, helpful, polite and accommodating. We wouldn’t go anywhere else now.”

Kirsty Fowler, Google Review

Efficient and friendly 

“Like the previous reviewer, I used WRC’s shredding services. Efficient and friendly company; very easy to do business with! I look forward to using their skip hire services later this year.”

This might sound small—literally—but we like that Buchanan Skip Hire offers multiple skip sizes, including a 2-yard mini. This is a plus for those who feel a 4-yard skip is still too large.

Their large fleet is worth highlighting as well. They have over 20 vehicles to drive, deliver, and collect large volumes of waste. 

That said, they can have your skip ready and delivered early in the morning, and even same-day uplifts in some cases, helping you keep your project moving and on schedule. 

The contrary? We did note some frustrations, especially with delivery delays. Booking your delivery first thing is a good idea to avoid getting caught during rush or peak hours. 

Here’s the silver lining: they have over 30 years of skip hire and waste management experience, so they know what they’re doing and have solid connections with local authorities. This includes taking care of permits on your behalf.
