Find a professional skip hire service near you

If you recently finished a construction project or have a large pile of items that need clearing out, you want an easy and hassle-free way to get rid of the rubble or trash. Hiring a skip is a great way to do this - you can fill it up on your own time and have someone else collect and dispose of everything inside.

Airtasker lets you pick from a variety of skip hires quickly - just one post can bring you multiple quotes in only one day! You can select the skip hire that best fits your needs or budget without having to canvass a bunch of skip companies. If you’re tackling skip hire for the first time, here’s what you can expect when you book a skip via Airtasker:

Consultation

Since you’ll need a specific skip for your needs, some Taskers may help you choose the most appropriate one. It’s not enough to mention a mini skip hire on your task post - you’ll need to specify the size. Your Tasker can help you choose from among 2 yards, 4 yards, and 6-yard skip hires. Garden waste, like branches or cuttings, can fit in a 2-yard skip hire, while a typical general construction work requires a 6-yard skip hire near you.

Do take note that most Taskers can only provide mini skip hires near you. If you need a skip larger than 6 yards, they may be able to help you find a trusted provider. 

Skip bin delivery

Once you’ve set an appointment with the skip hire and gotten the necessary permits from your local council, the Tasker brings the skip bin. They’ll leave it in your yard, field, or pavement.

Getting a small skip hire via Airtasker may also help you learn more about proper waste disposal. You can ask your Tasker about how to maximise the space of the bin, or what items can go in it. This ensures that you follow any local policies on waste disposal and that you don’t cause any damage by throwing in hazardous waste.

Skip bin collection & disposal

Once you’re done filling up the skip, you can have it collected and ask the Tasker to dispose of the waste. This can happen on the day itself, or you can keep the skip for around two weeks (depending on local policies, the expected completion date of your project, or your needs). On collection day, the Tasker comes by and gets the bin.

They’ll transport it to the proper disposal sites - recycling centres, scrap metal dealers, or landfills. Typically, they’ll try to have your waste reused or recycled. This minimises the amount of trash sent to dump sites. If you have other kinds of waste that can’t go to a small skip hire near you, Airtasker can connect you with other removalists. Our platform lets you get rid of household or building rubbish easily, and can even help you with cleaning tasks related to your project.
