Lichfield Skip Hire
Lichfield has everything from period homes near the cathedral to modern estates on the edge of the city, and we hire skips for all of them. Kitchen and bathroom refits, garden landscaping, loft clear-outs and full house clearances are the jobs we see most. Space can be tight near the city centre, so a mini or 4 yard midi skip is often the best fit, while our 8 yard builders skip suits bigger projects with more room.

What people hire skips for in Lichfield
Lichfield has a lot of period homes around the cathedral and city centre, plus bigger family estates at Boley Park and Darwin Park. Renovation work on older properties, kitchen refits and garden clear-outs are the jobs we see most. For period homes with limited parking, a smaller skip on the drive is often easier than a large one on the road.

At The DP Group, we really emphasise responsible skip-filling, it helps us, and our drivers to ensure safety and avoid additional costs when its time to . If a skip is overfilled and poses a transportation hazard, we cannot collect it.
To help you clearly see the fill level, each of our skips are clearly marked either inside or outside.
We strongly recommend a strategic (like a game) approach to filling your skip! Begin by placing flat items first, followed by large, heavy, or bulky items. For bin bags filled with rubbish, compress them to remove any air and crush larger items to maximise space without exceeding the skip’s capacity – it’s about getting the most out of your skip hire!
To assist you in selecting the appropriate skip size for your project, each skip page provides an estimate of the number of bin bags it can accommodate – with an illustration too. Keep in mind that the capacity may vary depending on the size and weight of the items. If you require guidance in choosing the right skip size, please don’t hesitate to contact us.
Every skip comes back to our own yard and recycling plant on Sutherland Road in Longton, where the waste is sorted so as much as possible can be recycled and kept out of landfill. You don’t need to separate anything yourself, just keep to the list of what can and can’t go in a skip.
Usually the next working day. Book online before 4pm and you can pick a slot for the next working day, including a pre-10am slot. If the skip is going on the road, allow five working days for the council permit.
