If your skip needs to be placed on a public road or pavement, a permit from Plymouth City Council is usually required. If the skip is placed on private property, such as a driveway or garden, a permit is not needed. At Ocean City Skips, we can advise you on this and help arrange a permit if required.
The size of skip you need depends on the amount and type of waste you want to dispose of. Smaller projects such as garden clearances or minor DIY jobs may only need a 4 or 6 yard skip, while larger renovations may require an 8 yard skip. For commercial or construction projects, 16 yard or Roll On Roll Off (RoRo) skips are often the best option. Our team at Ocean City Skips is happy to help you choose the right size.
Most customers hire a skip for around 7 to 14 days, which is usually enough time for most home or construction projects. If you need the skip for longer, just let us know and Ocean City Skips can arrange an extended hire period. Likewise, if you fill your skip sooner, drop us a line and we'll arrange a quicker collection.
You can place most general household, garden, and construction waste in a skip, including wood, bricks, soil, furniture, and general rubbish. However, certain items such as asbestos, chemicals, tyres, gas bottles, and hazardous waste cannot be placed in skips. If you’re unsure about an item, contact Ocean City Skips and we’ll advise you.
At Ocean City Skips, we aim to deliver skips as quickly as possible across Plymouth. In many cases we can offer next-day delivery, and sometimes even same-day delivery, depending on availability.
The cost of skip hire depends on several factors, including the size of the skip, the length of the hire period, and whether a permit is required. At Ocean City Skips, we offer competitive prices and clear quotes so you know exactly what to expect before booking.
"I used Ocean City Skips for a kitchen refit in Peverell and couldn't be happier. I was worried about the narrow street, but the driver was a total pro and dropped the 6-yarder exactly where I needed it. They even handled the Plymouth City Council permit for me, which saved a massive headache. Fast, friendly, and very fairly priced. Highly recommend!"
"Brilliant service from start to finish. I needed a midi skip for a garden clear-out in Devonport and they delivered it the very next morning. The office staff were really helpful in explaining what could and couldn't go in. Collection was just as smooth—I called them on Tuesday and it was gone by Wednesday afternoon. Best skip hire in Plymouth!"
"We’ve started using Ocean City Skips for all our landscaping jobs around Crownhill and Efford. They are far more reliable than the national brokers we used before. Their local knowledge is great, and they always get the road permits sorted quickly. 100% reliable, competitive rates, and they actually turn up when they say they will. Great local business."
"Five-star service! I was stressed about where to put a skip at my terrace in Mutley, but the team at Ocean City Skips talked me through the 'wait and load' option and the permit costs. In the end, they sorted everything with the council. It’s great to find a company that actually cares about customer service. Will definitely use them again."
