Skip sizes for every project in Harrow
From declutters to full refurbishments, we’ve got sizes that suit most jobs:
- 4 yard (mini) – Ideal for garden clear-ups, small DIY and light household waste.
- 6 yard (midi) – Great for heavier materials such as soil, bricks and tiles during kitchen or bathroom refits.
- 8 yard (builders’) – The popular all-rounder for extensions and bulkier mixed waste.
- 12 yard (large) – For higher-volume light waste, shop fits and office clearances.
Not sure what to choose? Give us a quick rundown of your project and we’ll recommend the most efficient size—so you don’t overpay or run out of space.
Permits, access and responsible disposal
If your skip needs to go on the public highway, you’ll usually need a council permit. We’ll guide you through timing, costs and where to place the skip safely (watching out for low trees, manholes and cables). For delivery, we’ll also run through access checks—tight drives and narrow streets are fine as long as we plan them in. When you’re done, we collect on time and handle your waste at licensed facilities with recycling front of mind.

Common questions when hiring your skip in Harrow
How long can I keep the skip?
Most residential hires run up to two weeks, but we can tailor this around your project. Permit durations are set by the council—ask us for timings.
No driveway or can’t get a permit?
We can arrange a wait-and-load service: we arrive, you load, we take it away—no permit required.
How big is the delivery vehicle?
As a guide, allow approx. 3m width and 7m length for safe access. If you’re tight on space, mention it when you book.
How should I load the skip?
Break down bulky items, place flat pieces first and keep it level with the fill line—we can’t transport overloaded skips.
Tips for a smoother hire
- Protect paving: use boards on soft ground or block paving.
- Plan ahead: roadside placements may need extra permit lead time.
- Segregate heavy waste: soil and rubble are dense—ask if a different size makes more sense.

Waste Disposal Facts in Harrow
How much does a skip cost
The answer is based on three factors. (a) The amount of rubbish you have to dispose of and therefore the size of the skip you will require (b) The type of rubbish you have and that needs to be disposed of (c) Your geographic location the skip will be required.
Do I need a Skip Licence from the council
This depends on where you are placing the skip. If it is on a public road, or highway, the answer is yes. If it is on private property the answer is no. If you need more information please phone the office and speak to any of our team, we’re always here to help.
How much do Skip Permits Cost
The cost of a Skip Licence or Permit will vary depending on your geographic location within the UK, as well as the council and borough granting the permit. Each council controls its own licensing fees and Proskips unfortunately have no way of influencing or reducing these fees but regularly challenge councils across the UK on our customers behalf..
Who applies for and issues Skip Licenses and Permits
Local councils provide Skip Licenses and Permits. In most instances, Proskips will be allowed to apply for the Skip Permit on behalf of our customers. However in some areas, councils require the individual or business hiring the skip to apply for their permit or licence directly. We would recommend you visit your local councils’ website to understand what their process and specific requirements are.
How long do Skip Permits last
Depending on the local council who will be providing your Skip Permit or Licence, permits are generally granted for 14 or 28 days. Most councils are however more than happy to allow for this initial period to be extended (for an additional fee), so we would recommend that you contact them in advance if you need more time. Please note that the onus is on yourself, as if you keep a skip for longer than the timeframe allowed by your permit, you may be liable for a fine.
What happens if my skip is on the road without a permit
You will be breaking the law. We will not place a skip on a road without a valid permit under any circumstances in any borough throughout the UK. Do not forget that you will not need a permit if you are putting your skip entirely on private property – on your driveway.
