What affects the price?
Several factors can affect your final skip hire price. We'll always confirm your exact price before you book.
Your location
Prices may vary slightly depending on where you are in Derby or Derbyshire. Outer areas may be slightly higher.
Waste type
Clean soil and rubble on its own is our lowest rate. Mixed household or general waste costs more to sort and dispose of, so tell us what's going in and we'll confirm your price.
Hire duration
Standard hire is 7 days. If you need the skip longer, we can arrange an extension — usually £10–£20 per extra week.
Road permit
If your skip needs to go on a public road, a Derby City Council permit is required. The council charges £60 for 28 days, and we handle the application for you.

Skip hire prices: common questions
How much does it cost to hire a skip in Derby?
Skip hire in Derby costs from £160 including VAT for a 3 yard mini skip, up to £431 for a 12 yard builders skip. The most popular size, a 6 yard skip, costs from £290. Your exact price depends on the waste type, your location and the hire period.
What is the cheapest way to hire a skip in Derby?
Choose the right size first time, keep the skip on your driveway to avoid the £60 road permit, and keep soil and rubble separate from general waste, as a skip of clean inert waste is our lowest rate.
Why does the type of waste change the price?
Clean soil and rubble can be recycled easily, so it costs less to dispose of. Mixed household and general waste has to be sorted by hand and machine before it can be recycled, so it costs more to process.
Do you offer trade prices?
Yes. Trade prices start from £133.33 + VAT for a 3 yard skip, and VAT invoices are provided. Regular customers can ask about a trade account.
