ECL Skips (Dudley Skip Hire services) will ensure you get the right skip for the right job, delivered to your premises at a time to suit you. Whether you require a small 4-yard skip, a builders skip or a 40 yard enclosed skip, we have everything you need.

Wait & Load

ECL offer a wait and load service free of charge up to 1/2 hour on site – extra time is charged at £30.00 per hour pro rota.

Level Loads Only

At Dudley Skip Hire our containers are only to be filled so they form a level top with the side of the skip. If the driver considers the load unsafe we will be unable to move the container. If overloaded, but considered safe to transport, a surcharge will be levied.

Hazardous Materials – what cannot be placed in a skip

No hazardous materials must be placed in the skip, including but not limited to, asbestos, fridges, tv’s or other monitors, tyres, liquids, pyrotechnics, paints and solvents. Materials of this type placed in a skip could endanger our staff and will incur the hirer additional charges or the material returned to your site.

Burning in the Skip

Damage due to fire or defacement of the skip container will be charged accordingly back to the hirer. Theft of containers are also charged at the standard retail rate, back to the hirer.

What access does a skip lorry need?

If you’re planning to have a skip on your property always check with us beforehand to assess how much access is required. Skip lorries are normally at least 8 ½ feet wide, with some as wide as 9 ½ feet but it’s always best to check with us first.

What happens to the waste when I put it in a skip?

It depends on what waste you have, where you are in the UK. Our Skip Hire Dudley facility is centrally located and we recycle items such as mattresses, onsite.
