That means you pay our standard Dorset rates with no distance surcharge, despite Wimborne being a smaller market town. All prices below include VAT, delivery, collection, and licensed disposal at our Wareham depot.

Prices include 14 days hire. Wait & load service available — first 45 minutes included, £120 per hour thereafter (chargable in 30-minute increments). For mixed loads, plasterboard separation is required — a £180 cleaning fee plus £144 per tonne applies if plasterboard is found in a general skip.
What Can Go in a Skip in Wimborne
Most household and trade waste is fine for a general skip — including wood, metal, garden waste, furniture, packaging, kitchen units, bathroom suites, and inert materials. A few items must always be kept out for legal and safety reasons.
Allowed in a general skip:
- Household waste — furniture, packaging, general clear-out items
- Construction waste — wood, brick, plaster (separated), tiles, metal
- Garden waste — soil (in inert skip), turf, branches, hedge cuttings
- Bathroom and kitchen renovation waste — including suites and units
- Roofing felt and small amounts of carpet
Not allowed in any skip:
- Asbestos of any kind — call us about licensed asbestos disposal instead
- Tyres, car batteries, fridges, freezers — extra disposal charges apply (see notes below)
- Hazardous waste — paint tins, gas bottles, fire extinguishers, chemicals
- Plasterboard mixed with general waste — must go in a separate bag or skip
- TVs, computer monitors, large electrical items (POA — call for advice)
If in doubt, call us on 01202 247716 before loading — it’s cheaper than a contamination charge.
Skip Permits in Wimborne — Do You Need One?
If your skip is going on private property — your driveway, front garden, or behind a gate — you don’t need a permit. You can have it delivered as soon as we have a slot, often same-day or next-day in Wimborne.
If the skip needs to go on the public road or pavement, you’ll need a highway permit from Dorset Council (Wimborne falls under the unitary Dorset Council since 2019). We can arrange this on your behalf for an additional fee, or you can apply directly through Dorset Council’s website. Permits typically take 2-3 working days to process and run for the duration of the skip hire. Conservation areas in central Wimborne (around the Minster) may have additional restrictions — call us first if you’re inside the conservation boundary and we’ll advise.
How to Book Skip Hire Wimborne — Step by Step
Booking a skip in Wimborne with The Waste Group takes about 5 minutes. Here’s exactly what happens from your first call to delivery on your driveway.
- Choose your skip size. Use the pricing table above to pick a size, or call 01202 247716 if you’re not sure — we’ll recommend based on what you’re clearing.
- Tell us your postcode and access details. We’ll confirm whether the skip can go on your drive (no permit needed) or needs to go on the road (permit required).
- Confirm delivery date. Most Wimborne deliveries are same-day if booked before 11am, or next-day. Saturday delivery available for trade.
- Pay and confirm. Card payment over the phone or online via our quote form. You’ll receive a written confirmation by email.
- Skip delivered. Our driver will place the skip exactly where you want it. Standard hire is 14 days — let us know if you need longer.
- Fill it up. Keep waste below the rim (“level loads” only — no piling up, the driver can refuse to take an overloaded skip). Keep prohibited items out (see list above).
- Call us to collect. Email or call when you’re ready. We’ll usually collect within 1-2 working days. The skip is taken to our Wareham depot for licensed processing.
Frequently Asked Questions About Skip Hire in Wimborne
Below are the questions Wimborne customers ask us most often. If your question isn’t covered here, call us on 01202 247716 and we’ll answer it on the phone — usually within 30 seconds.
Skip hire in Wimborne starts from £306 inc VAT for a 4-yard skip and goes up to £582 inc VAT for a 12-yard skip. All prices include 14 days hire, delivery, collection, and licensed disposal. Wimborne is in our Zone 1 service area, so you pay the same rates as Bournemouth and Poole. See the full pricing table above or call 01202 247716 for a fixed quote.
Skip hire Wimborne deliveries are usually fastest in Dorset because Wimborne is roughly 30 minutes from our Wareham depot. Most Wimborne deliveries are same-day if you book before 11am, or next-day if booked later. Wimborne is roughly 30 minutes from our Wareham depot, so we can usually fit deliveries in around our regular Dorset routes without delay. Saturday delivery is available for trade customers — call 01202 247716 to confirm a slot.
You only need a permit if your skip is going on a public road or pavement. If it’s on private property — your driveway, front garden, or behind a gate — no permit is required. For roadside skips in Wimborne you’ll need a highway permit from Dorset Council, which we can arrange on your behalf for an additional fee. Permits typically take 2-3 working days to process. If your property is in the Wimborne Minster conservation area, additional restrictions may apply — call us first and we’ll advise.
For a typical Wimborne 3-bedroom house clearance, a 6-yard or 8-yard skip is usually right. A 6-yard skip handles most residential clearances including furniture, packaging and general clear-out. An 8-yard skip is better for larger houses or when you’ve got bulkier items like wardrobes and old kitchen units. If in doubt, call 01202 247716 with a description of what you’re clearing — we’ll recommend the right size based on 19 years of Dorset experience.
Asbestos, tyres, car batteries, fridges, freezers, paint tins, gas bottles, fire extinguishers, hazardous chemicals, TVs and computer monitors must not go in a general skip. Plasterboard must be kept separate — either in a plasterboard bag (£144) or a dedicated plasterboard skip. If plasterboard ends up in a general skip, a £180 cleaning fee plus £144 per tonne applies. For asbestos disposal, we run a separate licensed service — see asbestos disposal in Dorset.
Yes, but you’ll need a highway permit from Dorset Council. Wimborne town centre also has a conservation area around the Minster which may have additional access or visual restrictions. We can arrange the permit and advise on conservation requirements when you book. For very tight access streets in central Wimborne, a smaller 4-yard or 6-yard skip is usually more practical than a larger size. Call 01202 247716 for site-specific advice.

February 2026 — BH21 7
8-yard general skip + 1-tonne plasterboard bag
Bathroom renovation in BH21 7. Customer wanted a single delivery solution for mixed renovation waste with separated plasterboard. The 8-yard general handled the suite, tiles, kitchen units and timber, while the plasterboard bag kept the gypsum waste separate to avoid the contamination charge.
April 2026 — BH21 1
12-yard general skip
Large housing development in BH21 1, supplied to a prestigious Dorset house builder. The 12-yard handled construction packaging, timber off-cuts, plastic and general site clear-out. Trade account pricing with same-week delivery and exchange.
March 2026 — BH21 3
6-yard inert (soil) skip
Garden improvements in BH21 3. Customer was clearing soil and turf for a new patio and lawn. The 6-yard inert was the right size and price point — inert pricing (£258) is significantly cheaper than general waste pricing for soil-only jobs.

Local Knowledge — Skip Hire in Wimborne
A few Wimborne-specific things worth knowing before you book:
Conservation area restrictions. The historic centre of Wimborne around the Minster is a designated conservation area. Skip placement on the road within the conservation boundary can require additional Dorset Council assessment. If your property is in the conservation area (typically the streets immediately around Wimborne Minster, the Square and East Borough), call us before booking and we’ll advise on permit options.
Narrow access streets. Wimborne’s older residential streets — particularly around the centre and in some Colehill neighbourhoods — can be tight for an 8-tonne skip lorry. For these locations a 4-yard or 6-yard skip is usually more practical than a 12-yard. Tell us your postcode when you call and we’ll flag any known access issues.
Dorset Council household waste centres. The nearest Dorset Council household waste recycling centre to Wimborne is at Ferndown Industrial Estate (Cobham Road, BH21 7PE). It accepts most household waste free of charge for residents but has restrictions on quantity, plasterboard, asbestos and trade waste. For larger jobs, a skip is almost always cheaper than multiple trips when fuel and time are factored in.
Permit timeline. Highway permits from Dorset Council typically take 2-3 working days to process from application. Plan your skip booking accordingly if it’s going on the road. Same-day delivery in Wimborne is usually only possible for skips on private property (driveways, gardens, behind gates).
