Ro Ro Skip Hire in Portland
The Waste Group provides Ro Ro skip hire across the Isle of Portland and the surrounding DT5 postcode area, serving construction sites, commercial premises, demolition contractors and housebuilders throughout this unique Dorset peninsula.
The Isle of Portland is a distinctive limestone peninsula connected to the mainland by the narrow Chesil Beach causeway, generating consistent demand for large-volume waste removal from residential renovation, new build development and commercial construction throughout the year. Portland’s stone quarrying heritage, the port facilities at Portland Port and the ongoing development of the former naval base create significant and ongoing demand for Ro Ro skip hire across the DT5 postcode. Whether you are managing a construction project at Portland Port, clearing a commercial site in Fortuneswell, or running a demolition programme across the peninsula, our Ro Ro fleet is positioned locally at our Wareham depot for fast delivery across the causeway.
The Waste Group owns and operates its own vehicles and employs its own drivers directly — no brokers, no subcontracting, no third parties. When you book with us, you deal with us from first call to final collection. We have been operating across Portland and the Dorset coast since 2007.
Ro Ro skips are priced on a transport and tonnage basis — a delivery and collection charge plus a cost per tonne of waste loaded, subject to a minimum chargeable weight. Call 01305 819819 for a project-specific quote.
Ro Ro Skip Sizes Available in Portland
We offer four Ro Ro skip sizes across Portland, suitable for everything from medium commercial clearances to major demolition and construction projects.
16 Yard Ro Ro Skip
The smallest Ro Ro size, suitable for medium-volume commercial waste, light construction clearances and mixed loads. A practical step up from the largest standard skip where volume or weight demands it.
20 Yard Ro Ro Skip
Our most popular Ro Ro size. Ideal for construction and commercial projects generating mixed or heavy waste loads. The 20 yard is the most frequently booked size for trade customers operating across Portland.
30 Yard Ro Ro Skip
Suited to larger construction sites, strip-out projects and high-volume commercial clearances. The 30 yard provides significantly more capacity where multiple skip exchanges would otherwise be required.
40 Yard Ro Ro Skip
The largest Ro Ro in our fleet. Best suited to major demolition, housebuilding programmes and large commercial clearances where continuous high-volume waste removal is required. Requires adequate site access and turning space.
