Skip Hire Alternative — FAQ
- Is a skip hire alternative cheaper than hiring a skip in London?
- In most cases yes. A skip hire alternative from WasteWize starts from £150, while skip hire in London typically costs £200–£400 for the skip alone — before adding council permit fees (£50–£100), waiting for delivery, and doing all the loading yourself.
- Do I need a council permit for your service?
- No. Skips placed on a public road require a council permit. Our vehicle arrives, our team loads everything, and we drive away — no permit, no road obstruction, no neighbour disputes.
- What items can you take that a skip cannot?
- Skips cannot legally take fridges, TVs, paint, batteries, tyres, asbestos, or liquids. WasteWize takes all of these under the correct EA licences — WEEE-compliant electronics disposal, asbestos removal, and hazardous waste streams.
- How quickly can you collect?
- Same-week availability across London and the Home Counties. Next-day in most areas. Call 07929 771954 for live availability.
- How is WasteWize priced vs a skip?
- WasteWize charges by load (van capacity), not by the day or week. You only pay for what you actually have removed. No delivery charge, no collection charge, no permit fee — one all-inclusive price.
