Grab Lorry Hire in Dorchester
The Waste Group provides grab lorry hire across Dorchester and the surrounding DT postcodes, serving homeowners, builders, landscapers, demolition contractors and commercial operators throughout Dorset’s county town and its wider rural catchment.
Dorchester is at the heart of Dorset’s construction and development activity. As the county town it sees consistent demand from commercial developments along the retail and business parks, significant residential housebuilding on the town’s expanding edges — particularly around Poundbury and the western growth areas — and renovation and refurbishment projects throughout the historic town centre. The wider DT1 and DT2 postcode catchment covers an extensive rural area including Puddletown, Maiden Newton, Cerne Abbas, Bere Regis, Tolpuddle and Crossways — areas where grab lorry hire is regularly required for farm clearances, barn conversions and rural development projects.
The Waste Group owns and operates its own grab lorries and employs its own drivers directly — no brokers, no subcontracting, no third parties. When you call our Dorchester number, you speak to us directly. We have been operating across Dorchester and mid-Dorset since 2007.
Grab lorry hire is priced per load — call 01305 819819 for a fast, no-obligation quote for your specific location and waste type.

A skip requires space on your property or a permit if placed on a public road, and is left for you to fill over time. Grab lorry hire means the lorry arrives, loads your waste immediately using its hydraulic arm and drives away in a single visit. No permit is needed and access restrictions that prevent skip placement are rarely an issue for a grab lorry.
Our Dorchester grab lorries collect clean hardcore, inert waste, soil, tarmac, clay, green waste, mixed construction waste and plasterboard (segregated loads). Not suitable for asbestos, hazardous materials or liquid waste.
