Ashton-under-Lyne has everything from tight Victorian terraces to retail and trade units near Ashton Moss, so no single skip size fits every job in town. Our skip hire Ashton-under-Lyne service covers the full range, from 2 yard minis through midis and 8 to 16 yard maxis up to RORO containers for very large projects. We deliver across OL6 and the rest of Tameside, often same day where we can, with next day delivery available. Phone lines are open 24/7 for orders.
As a rough guide, a mini covers a room clear out, a midi suits a kitchen or bathroom refit, and an 8 yard takes heavy rubble from a knock through. Bulky, lighter waste from house clearances suits the 10 to 16 yard sizes. Abbey has been trading since 2011 and is Constructionline approved, so trade customers in Ashton can book with confidence.
Hiring a skip in Ashton-under-Lyne saves endless trips to the tip in a packed car. One booking covers delivery, the hire period and collection, and your waste is sorted for recycling at our transfer station. If you cannot leave a skip unattended, wait and load means we bring the lorry, you fill it, and we drive away. Enclosed lockable skips stop others adding their rubbish.
Delivered from our yard at Park Road Industrial Estate, Bury
Mini, midi and maxi skips, plus RORO containers, wait and load and enclosed skips for Ashton homes, trades and businesses.
Five simple steps from choosing your skip to the last load being recycled.
Pick a skip above, or call and tell us the job, the waste and where the skip will go.
You get a clear quote. If the skip goes on the road, we apply for the permit.
Our driver sets the skip down safely on your drive or the permitted spot.
Normal hire is 1 to 14 days. Keep the load level with the rim so we can collect it safely.
Ring when it is full. We collect, usually within 48 hours, and sort the waste for recycling.
Choosing the right skip in Ashton comes down to the property and the street. Terraces around the town centre rarely have off-road space, so compact sizes on the road with a Tameside Council permit work best, and we apply for it. Semis in Hurst, Waterloo and Taunton often take a midi or 8 yard on the drive. Shops near the market suit wait and load, which avoids leaving a skip outside on a busy shopping street. Businesses on the retail and leisure sites at Ashton Moss may need larger skips or a RORO for strip outs. Tell us the job and we will match the size.
Abbey Skip Hire serves domestic, trade and commercial customers throughout Ashton-under-Lyne, and for road placements we apply to Tameside Council for the permit.

0161 724 7252Skip hire in Ashton-under-Lyne is priced on the size, the hire length and what the waste is. Heavy materials like soil and hardcore cost more to dispose of than light, bulky items. A skip on the road also needs a Tameside permit, whereas a drive does not. Delivery and collection are included in the hire price, so there are no hidden extras. For a quote, call 0161 724 7252.
That depends on a number of factors, such as the size you require, how long you need it for, and the location and position that the skip will be delivered to. Contact us and get an accurate price quote for your Ashton skip hire.
Mini skips (2 and 3 yard) suit garden and household waste. Midi skips (4 to 6 yard) suit kitchen and bathroom refits and clear outs. For soil, brick and hardcore choose the 8 yard builders skip, and for bulky, lighter waste from big clearances a 10 to 16 yard maxi skip. Tell us the job and we will recommend the right size.
You need a permit whenever the skip goes on a public road in Ashton-under-Lyne. Tameside Council grants it, and Abbey makes the application for you. Fees are set by the council and do vary. Skips placed on driveways, yards or other private land need no permit, which is often the simpler route if you have the space.
Different councils charge different amounts but it generally costs between £30 and £50 for a permit to place a skip on a road. We confirm the current charge when you book.
This is of course entirely up to you, but the normal hire duration is between 1 and 14 days. If your skip is on the road you will need to check the length covered by your permit.
Bricks, hard core, rubble, soil (that isn’t contaminated), domestic waste such as packaging, furniture, furnishing, fixtures and non-electrical fittings, wood, metal and plastic. We cannot take asbestos, electricals, fridges, tyres, paint, gas bottles, batteries or liquids.
Call us to let us know you have finished with the skip. A driver will then come to collect, usually within 48 hours. The skip is then taken to our waste transfer station where it will be processed for recycling.
We will advise you on the cost to hire a skip, depending on where you require the skip delivery in Ashton, what you plan to put in the skip, and how long you wish to have the skip for.
