Skip Hire Strand

Skip hire in Strand starts with where the skip will stand: on the property, or on a public road, pavement or verge, where the City's written permission comes first. The 6m³ builders skip is from R2,700. The skip hire prices Cape Town page has an estimate calculator for the other sizes.

A 2022 City of Cape Town release lists Strand and Gordon's Bay as towns in its Subcouncil 8, so the City's road and drop-off rules are the ones that apply to a Strand address.

A Skip on a Strand Road or Verge

The City's Streets, Public Places and Prevention of Noise Nuisances By-law of 2007, in section 10, bars anyone from leaving building or waste materials in a public place without the prior written permission of the City.

The City's 2026/27 Roads Infrastructure Management tariff book lists the placement of a container in the road reserve as temporary use of the road reserve. For those tariffs, the road reserve includes a roadway, footway, sidewalk and verge.

Where a Strand flat or complex has no space for the skip on its own property, get the City's written permission before the skip is placed on the road, pavement or verge. In a sectional-title complex, ask the body corporate or managing agent where the complex's rules allow a skip to stand.

The Gordon's Bay Drop-Off Conditions

The City's drop-off table, dated February 2024, has no Strand entry. Its entry for Gordon's Bay is on Sir Lowry's Pass Road.

The City's conditions allow a maximum of three loads per vehicle per day, depending on available capacity, and the carrying capacity of the vehicle or trailer may not exceed 1,5 tonnes. Recycling has no daily limit on the number of loads. Every load has to be sorted before it arrives.

For larger volumes of garage waste, garden refuse, builder's rubble and domestic waste, the City points residents to a Council disposal facility at the approved tariffs. Drop-off sites are closed on Good Friday, Christmas Day and New Year's Day.

What a City Drop-Off Takes and Turns Away

Clean garden waste means grass and cuttings, with no stumps with roots and no grass sods. Garden branches go in at a maximum of 1,2 m long and 300 mm in diameter. Garden refuse brought in bags has to be emptied out as directed.

Clean builder's rubble means broken bricks, sand, stone, cement, plaster and similar materials. Clean builder's rubble at a drop-off may not contain paper, plastics, wood, glass, metal, tiles, ceramics or ceiling board.

Recycling covers paper, cardboard, cans, metal, plastic, milk and juice cartons, glass bottles and polystyrene, dropped at the designated area. E-waste goes to the designated recycling area as well, and the City's conditions exclude batteries from e-waste at drop-off sites.

Organic kitchen waste, hazardous waste and rubber waste such as tyres are not allowed. The City's conditions name two sites for household hazardous waste, the Bellville Refuse Transfer Station and the Athlone Refuse Transfer Station, with a limit of 50 kg per resident per day. Unsorted, non-separated and contaminated loads are denied access and diverted to the nearest landfill site.

The City's call centre for drop-off enquiries is 086 010 3089.
