Where your waste goes

It doesn't just disappear. We make sure of it.

Every load comes back to our own licensed waste transfer station at Llandegley. It's weighed on our 50-tonne weighbridge, sorted, and sent on for recycling: over 85% of everything we handle.

Anything that can't be recycled goes for energy recovery wherever possible, as we work towards zero waste to landfill. And the good stuff gets a second life in our reclamation yard.

What size skip do I need?

For most house clear-outs and renovations, an 8-yard maxi skip is the go-to. Smaller jobs suit a mini or builders skip, and bulky, light waste suits a jumbo. Tell us what you're clearing and we'll recommend the right size. Compare skip sizes

Do I need a permit to put a skip on the road?

Not if the skip can go on your driveway or private land. If it has to go on a public road or pavement, a council permit is needed first. Tell us when you book and we'll talk you through it.

What can't go in a skip?

General skips can't take asbestos, gas bottles, batteries, tyres, fridges and freezers, TVs and monitors, paints, oils, chemicals or medical waste. Some of these, such as asbestos, we can deal with separately through our hazardous waste service, so ask us first.

How long can I keep a skip?

Tell us how long you need it when you book and we'll build that into your quote. If you need it longer, or swapped for an empty one, just call.

Do you take asbestos?

Yes. We're licensed to collect and dispose of asbestos and other hazardous waste safely and legally. Call us to talk through the type and quantity and we'll explain what happens next.

How much does skip hire cost?

It depends on the skip size, what's going in it, where it's going and for how long. Call 01597 851844 or send a quote request and we'll give you a clear price with no obligation.

Can I buy reclaimed materials from you?

Yes. Our reclamation yard sells new, reclaimed and recycled goods. Stock changes all the time, so call ahead or check our Facebook page (opens in a new tab) for what's in.

Which areas do you cover?

We deliver across Mid Wales and the Borders from our yard at Llandegley, near Llandrindod Wells, including Builth Wells, Rhayader, Knighton, Presteigne, Kington, Llanwrtyd Wells, Llangammarch Wells, Brecon, Talgarth, Hay-on-Wye, Leominster and the villages in between.
