Following a review of the Council’s recycling policy, we are pleased to announce that we are now only offering single waste stream skips. This will help us to reduce our impact on the environment whilst supporting Cardiff move towards zero waste by 2050.
The materials we currently collect are wood, soil, rubble, garden waste, scrap metal or plasterboard. We can potentially arrange removal of other items, so please get in touch to discuss.
We can offer reasonably priced skip hire to local residents and businesses in Cardiff. We have a range of skip sizes available, from the smaller builder’s skips to larger roll-on roll-off skips, to suit a range of needs.
These skips can be hired as a one-off service or can form part of a contract with regular collections.
