How much does Skip hire cost in Cambridge? (2026 price guide)
Skip hire prices typically start around £150-£250 for a small 2-4 yard skip suitable for minor clearances, rising to £300-£450 for a mid-size 8 yard skip and £400-£600 for a large 12-yard builder's skip. Hire periods usually cover one to two weeks, with extended hire or permit costs for placing a skip on a public road typically adding £20-£40.
Costs mainly depend on skip size, the type of waste being disposed of (general waste is cheaper than hazardous or heavy materials like soil and rubble), local landfill and disposal charges, and whether a council permit is needed for road placement. Prices can also vary depending on how far the skip needs to travel from the depot.
Ordering the right size skip the first time usually works out cheaper than needing a second hire, and checking whether the quote includes permit costs avoids an unexpected extra charge.
