Rapid Turnaround: Ideal for town centres, narrow streets, or properties with no driveway.
-
30-Minute Loading: We provide a generous 30-minute window for you to fill the skip.

Ideal for Tight Spaces and Busy Roads
If you live in areas like Colchester Town Centre, Lexden, Stanway, or Wivenhoe, finding space for a skip can be impossible. Local regulations often prohibit leaving skips on public highways without expensive lighting and permits. Our wait-and-load service bypasses these issues entirely, making us the go-to provider for skip hire in North Essex.
F.A.Q's
​
-
Do I need a skip permit for a Wait and Load service?
No. Because the vehicle stays with the skip and it is removed immediately, it is classified as a collection rather than a stationary skip, meaning no local council permit is required.
​
-
How long does the driver wait?
Our standard service includes a 30-minute wait time. This is usually plenty of time for 2-yard to 6-yard skips if your waste is pre-sorted and ready to go.
-
What skip sizes are available for Wait and Load?
We recommend our 2-yard Mini Skips and 4-yard Midi Skips for this service, as they are easiest to load quickly. However, we can provide up to 8-yard skips for larger commercial clear-outs.
​
-
What areas do you cover?
We provide wait and load services across all Colchester postcodes (CO1–CO7), including Ardleigh, Coggeshall, Marks Tey, and Great Horkesley.
Pro-Tips for a Successful Wait and Load
-
Prep Your Waste: Have your rubbish piled up as close to the loading point as possible before the driver arrives.
-
Check Accessibility: Ensure there is enough space (approx. 3 metres width) for our skip loader to pull up safely.
-
Know Your Waste: We cannot take hazardous materials like asbestos, fridges, or paints. Please check our Prohibited Items list for details.
