Skip Hire Cape Town supplies skip bins and crew collection across the Cape Town metro, operating from Cape Business Park, Unit 3B The Old Timber Yard, 7th Avenue, Maitland. Prices start at R700 for a 2m³ mini skip, every quote covers delivery, collection and licensed disposal, and the phone number is 064 582 1436.
What the Business Does
Waste leaves a Cape Town property one of two ways, and this business runs both.
- Skip hire — a bin is delivered, left on the property for a 7-day hire and collected once filled. Loading happens at whatever pace the job runs.
- Crew collection — a team arrives, loads the waste by hand and hauls it away the same visit. Nothing stands on the property and the job finishes in hours.
Skips suit renovations that generate waste over days. Collection suits a single clear-out, a property with no room for a bin, or a job where the loading is the problem.
The Bins and What They Cost
Four sizes run from a mini skip to a maxi, and the price is fixed at booking.
| Size | From | Holds | Typical job |
|---|---|---|---|
| 2m³ mini skip | R700 | about 25 refuse bags | Bathroom strip-out, small garden clear-out |
| 4m³ midi skip | R1,050 | about 50 refuse bags | Kitchen refit, garage clear-out |
| 6m³ builders skip | R1,250 | about 75 refuse bags | Building rubble, full-house clear-out |
| 8m³ maxi skip | R1,550 | about 100 refuse bags | Construction, demolition, estate clearance |
Every figure covers delivery, collection and disposal over a 7-day hire. A contaminated load — hazardous material or tyres mixed into general waste — carries a surcharge, because the receiving facility charges by the worst item in the load. The full breakdown sits on the skip hire prices page, and capacity is compared on the skip sizes Cape Town guide.
Where the Service Runs
Coverage spans the Cape Town metro. Northern suburb work in Bellville, Durbanville, Brackenfell, Parow, Goodwood and Kraaifontein is listed on the skip hire Northern Suburbs page. Southern suburb and Cape Flats work in Plumstead, Athlone, Woodstock and Mitchells Plain sits on the skip hire Southern Suburbs page. Table View, Milnerton, Montague Gardens, Bothasig and Maitland cover the West Coast corridor and the inner north, with Hout Bay and Fish Hoek on the peninsula and Somerset West and Stellenbosch to the east.
Getting a Skip Onto the Property
Placement decides whether a skip works at all, and three things settle it before delivery.
- Space — a 2m³ mini needs roughly a single parking bay. An 8m³ maxi needs the length of a driveway and clearance above it for the truck's arm.
- Truck access — the delivery vehicle needs a straight approach and firm ground. Soft lawn, steep driveways and low branches are the usual obstacles, and a property that fails on access is a candidate for crew collection instead.
- Public road placement — a skip standing on a road or verge rather than on private property needs a City permit. A bin inside the boundary line does not. Permit handling is covered on the skip hire prices page.
What Happens on Delivery Day
The sequence is short and the placement decision is made before the truck leaves.
- The size and delivery window are confirmed at booking, with the price fixed at that point.
- The bin is dropped on the agreed spot, on boards where the surface needs protecting.
- Loading runs over the 7-day hire, kept level with the rim — an overloaded skip cannot be sheeted and is refused at the gate.
- Collection is booked by phone once the job finishes, or on the last day of the hire.
- The load goes to a licensed facility and the disposal certificate follows on request.
How Disposal Is Handled
Loads go to licensed facilities and a disposal certificate follows on request. Recyclable material — paper, cardboard, cans, metal, plastic, glass and polystyrene — is separated where the load allows it, and e-waste and motor oil go to a designated recycling area.
Two categories are refused outright, at every municipal facility in Cape Town and here: rubber waste, which covers tyres, and household hazardous waste. Hazardous material is accepted only at the Bellville and Athlone transfer stations, capped at 50 kg per resident per day. Households running small sorted loads themselves can use any of the 29 municipal drop-offs free of charge — hours and rules are on the Cape Town refuse drop-off sites guide.
