How Mini Skip Hire Works — Step by Step

  1. Get a quote — call 064 582 1436 or submit online. Tell us your suburb, waste type, and how long you need the skip.
  2. Confirm delivery — we schedule next-day or same-day delivery. You confirm driveway or road placement access. Road placement needs a City of Cape Town permit.
  3. We deliver — the skip arrives in your delivery window (07:00–12:00 or 12:00–17:00). Our driver positions it safely on your driveway or verge.
  4. You fill it — at your pace, over the hire period (typically 2–4 days for mini skips).
  5. We collect — one call when you’re done. We collect within 24 hours and transport to a licensed waste facility. If it fills early, we arrange early collection or a swap-out within 24 hours.
  6. Waste is sorted — usable materials are diverted from landfill at our partnered Cape Town processing facility.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much does a mini skip cost in Cape Town?
A 2m³ mini skip in Cape Town starts from R850 for a weekend or short midweek hire, and around R880 for a 4-day hire. A 3m³ midi skip starts from R930. Prices may vary slightly by suburb — locations further from our Philippi depot (such as Onrus or Hermanus) may attract a small distance surcharge. Same-day delivery adds approximately R150.
How long can I keep a mini skip?
Standard mini skip hire periods are 2–3 days (midweek special), a long weekend (Friday to Monday), or a full 4-day weekday hire. Longer hire periods are available on request — let us know when you book and we will give you a tailored quote for extended hire.
Can a mini skip go on my driveway?
Yes — most mini and midi skips fit on standard Cape Town residential driveways. The 2m³ skip measures approximately 1.2m × 1.2m footprint, fitting easily on single-car driveways. If your driveway is narrow or you prefer road placement, we can position the skip on the verge or road — though roadside placement needs a City of Cape Town permit. We can advise on this when you book.
Do I need a permit for a mini skip in Cape Town?
No — not on private property. A mini skip on your driveway or in your garden needs no permit. On a public road or pavement, a City of Cape Town by-law permit is required (allow 2–3 days for approval). We can assist with the permit application — call us to discuss your placement.
What can I put in a mini skip?
Mini skips accept general household waste, garden waste (grass, branches, leaves), light rubble (tiles, plaster, timber), furniture, cardboard, and mixed general waste. Prohibited items include asbestos, tyres, paint, chemicals, batteries, gas cylinders, and medical waste. See our full guide to accepted waste.
Can I put rubble in a mini skip?
Yes — light rubble such as broken tiles, plaster, and small quantities of brickwork is accepted in mini skips. However, heavy rubble (concrete slabs, large quantities of bricks, soil) adds significant weight and may attract a heavy-load surcharge. For substantial rubble volumes, a dedicated rubble skip or larger 6m³ builder’s skip is usually more cost-effective.
How do I book a mini skip in Cape Town?
Call us on 064 582 1436 (Mon–Fri 8am–5pm, Sat 8am–1pm) or submit a quote request online. We need your suburb, waste type, and preferred hire dates — and we will have a quote back to you within 2 hours.
Do you deliver mini skips same-day?
Yes — same-day mini skip delivery is available across most Cape Town suburbs, subject to availability. Orders placed before 10am Monday–Friday have the best chance of same-day delivery. A R150 same-day delivery surcharge applies. Learn more about our same-day service.
What suburbs do you deliver mini skips to?
We deliver mini skips to 40+ Cape Town suburbs including Durbanville, Bellville, Brackenfell, Table View, Milnerton, Claremont, Wynberg, Muizenberg, Mitchells Plain, Goodwood, Tokai, Plumstead, Bloubergstrand, Mowbray, and many more. See the full service area list.
Is there a weight limit on a mini skip?
Mini skips have a practical weight limit of approximately 1.5 tonnes (2m³) and 2 tonnes (3m³). Loads significantly exceeding this — particularly heavy rubble, concrete, or large quantities of wet soil — may attract an excess weight surcharge. If your load is predominantly heavy materials, we recommend discussing this when you book.
