Garden and Household Skip Hire in Durham

Skip Hire in Durham

If you’re looking for skip hire in Durham, you’re in the right spot. Having lived around here for yonks, I can tell you it’s not just about chucking your rubbish in a bin. Whether you’re sprucing up your home in Framwellgate Moor, clearing out after a big garden tidy in Gilesgate, or managing a building site near Durham’s city centre, getting the right skip makes all the difference. We’re neighbours here, and Anything for Hire is built on local know-how mixed with over 20 years of experience, making sure you get the right kit, hassle-free.

Range of Skips Available

Whatever size or type of job you’ve got, Anything for Hire has a full range of skips to suit. From the wee mini skips perfect for small clear-outs like 2–3 yarders, right up to the big roll-on roll-off skips that handle a whopping 40 yards for larger commercial or industrial projects.

• Mini skips (2–3 yard) – ideal for garden waste or a small declutter.
• Midi skips (4–6 yard) – great for kitchen or bathroom refurbs.
• Builders skips (8 yard) – for heavier construction waste.
• Roll-on roll-off skips (20–40 yard) – commercial scale, perfect for big jobs.

Plus, you can choose from enclosed, lockable skips or flexible wait-and-load services if you’re after extra security or convenience.

Mini Skips

Great for small jobs like clearing out the shed, garden clippings, or general household rubbish. They’re easy to place in tighter spots around terraced streets or suburban drives.

Midi Skips

Ideal if you’re doing a bit of DIY or renovating a room. They fit well on drives or front gardens without taking up too much space.

Builders Skips

If you’re managing a building site or bigger renovation, builders skips can handle heavier waste like bricks, concrete, and timber.

Roll-on Roll-off Skips

For those large commercial or industrial jobs, these big lads can take on everything from office refurbishments to site clearances across multiple premises.

Booking Advice and Local Permits

Booking a skip might seem daft at first, but it’s a right straightforward process once you know the ropes. First off, picking the right skip size saves you faffing around and extra costs. Think about the type of waste you’re chucking out – garden waste, builders rubble, or general household rubbish all might need different sizes or skips.

Check access for delivery too. Narrow streets or tight driveways in Durham’s older parts like the historic peninsula might need a bit of planning. And if you’re putting the skip on the roadside, you’ll need a council permit – something Anything for Hire can help you sort out without the usual palaver.

Don’t forget to separate out any restricted materials like asbestos or hazardous waste. We’re all about keeping it legal and green here.

Comparison of Waste Management Options

Wondering if a skip is better than a grab-lorry or man-and-van collection? Here’s a quick look that might help you work it out:

For bigger projects, you can even hire multiple skips to keep waste sorted – handy if you’re juggling garden waste and builders rubble at once, or covering several properties in Durham or nearby Newcastle and Carlisle.

We’re proper proud of how we do things here. All waste collected through Anything for Hire is handled by licensed operators who know their stuff—so you can rest easy knowing everything’s disposed of legally and ethically.

Local Knowledge and Coverage

Durham’s a mix of urban bustle, leafy suburbs, and the lovely countryside – and we get that. Whether you’re in the city centre near the cathedral, out in the rural stretches beyond Crook, or somewhere in between, we’ve got skips that fit the bill. We’re familiar with local council rules, recycling centres, and sustainability practices, so can help you stay on the straight and narrow.
