Cheap Skip Hire in Plymouth
Skip hire prices in Plymouth vary widely between companies, so comparing quotes can save you a significant amount. This page helps you find the cheapest skip hire options across South West and gives tips on getting the best deal.
Cheapest Skip Hire Prices in Plymouth
The cheapest skip hire option in Plymouth is a mini skip (2 yard), which typically costs £80-£120. Midi skips (4 yard) cost £120-£180. The most popular builders skip (6-8 yard) costs £180-£280. Prices include delivery, collection and disposal. Some companies in Plymouth offer same-day or next-day delivery at no extra cost. For the cheapest rates, book midweek and avoid bank holiday periods when demand is highest.
How to Save Money on Skip Hire
Choose the smallest skip that fits your waste — overpaying for a larger skip is the most common mistake. Share a skip with a neighbour if you both have small jobs. Some companies offer wait-and-load services where they bring the skip, you fill it while they wait, and they take it away — this avoids permit charges for road placement. Separate recyclable materials to reduce the amount of waste needing skip disposal. Get at least 3 quotes before booking.
Hidden Costs to Watch For
When comparing cheap skip hire in Plymouth, check if the quoted price includes VAT (some advertise ex-VAT prices). Ask about overweight charges — if your skip is too heavy (common with soil, concrete and rubble), you may face a surcharge of £30-£80. Road permits cost £20-£50 extra if the skip cannot go on your driveway. Some companies charge extra for certain waste types like plasterboard, mattresses or tyres. Always confirm the total price before booking.
