Whether you’re renovating a kitchen in Poole, clearing a garden in Bournemouth, or managing a full-scale building project in Dorchester, waste can build up quickly. Hiring a skip is still the simplest, safest and most compliant way to manage it — one delivery, one collection, and the waste is taken care of.
But many people still get caught out by rules around permits, access, weight limits, waste types and new 2025 recycling regulations. This guide covers everything you need to know so you can plan confidently and avoid unnecessary costs.
We’ve included local Dorset insights from our team, the latest landfill tax increases, 2025 price trends, and a breakdown of sizes to help you pick the right skip first time.
New for 2025: The UK landfill tax (standard rate) has increased to £126.15 per tonne. This makes recycling more important than ever — and why choosing a responsible skip provider matters.
