Ro Ro Skip Hire in Shaftesbury
The Waste Group provides Ro Ro skip hire across Shaftesbury and the surrounding SP7 postcode area, serving construction sites, commercial premises, demolition contractors and housebuilders throughout this north Dorset hilltop town and its rural catchment across the Blackmore Vale.
Shaftesbury sits at the northern edge of Dorset, overlooking the Blackmore Vale from one of the highest hilltop towns in the county. Despite its relatively small size, Shaftesbury generates consistent construction and renovation activity — particularly residential conversions and extensions in and around the historic town centre, new residential development on the town’s expanding edges, and agricultural and rural construction across the wide SP7 postcode catchment. The surrounding villages including Gillingham, Tisbury, Mere and Semley regularly require large-volume waste removal for farm clearances, estate projects and rural renovation work.
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 north Dorset and the Wiltshire border 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 Shaftesbury
We offer four Ro Ro skip sizes across Shaftesbury, 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 working across Shaftesbury and the SP7 area.
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 rural clearances where continuous high-volume waste removal is required. Requires adequate site access and turning space.
