How Skip Hire Works with RMS
Three clear steps to stress-free waste removal
Affordable skip hire in Erith does not need to come with compromises. The process is straightforward.
First, choose your skip size and delivery date. You can get same-day and next-day delivery in DA8. Most orders arrive within 24 hours.
If your skip needs to be on a public road or pavement, the team gets the permit from Bexley Council. You do not need to visit council offices or deal with paperwork yourself.
Third, fill the skip at your own pace during the hire period. When you are finished, call for collection. Waste goes to licensed recycling facilities. There, most of it gets recycled instead of ending up in a landfill.
Drivers place skips with care, protect driveways when needed, and often call ahead before arriving. Vehicles meet modern emissions standards to reduce the impact on residential areas. Flexibility is part of the service. If you finish early or need a short extension, arrangements are simple.
What You Can Put in Your Skip
Accepted Waste Types and Quick Guidelines (Environment Agency Compliant)
Most household and building waste is accepted. This includes general rubbish, wood, furniture, soil, bricks, rubble, tiles, garden waste, and packaging. Mixed loads are fine.
Some items are restricted due to safety and legal requirements. These include asbestos, tyres, batteries, electrical appliances, gas cylinders, chemicals, oils, paint, and fridges. If something is unclear, it is always better to ask before booking. Advice is based on current waste regulations, not guesswork.
Skip Hire for Every Type of Project
From Home Makeovers to Major Construction Sites
Builders and tradespeople across Erith rely on RMS Skip Hire to keep sites compliant and organised. Electricians, plumbers, roofers, and landscapers use the service often. They rely on timely deliveries and collections that happen as promised.
Homeowners book skips for loft conversions, extensions, and full refurbishments. This makes waste removal the easiest part of the job. The company has backed projects near Erith Station, renovated Victorian terraces, and built new developments in the area.
Businesses also use RMS for shop refits, office clearances, and ongoing waste needs. Smaller skips fit tight urban spaces, but larger ones manage commercial volumes without needing frequent pickups.

Frequently Asked Questions
How quickly can you deliver a skip to Erith?
We provide same-day and next-day delivery for all DA8 postcodes. Most orders, about 95%, arrive within 24 hours of booking. This depends on availability during busy times.
Do I need a permit for my skip?
You only need a permit if the skip goes on a public road or pavement. We’ll sort this out with Bexley Council for you. It costs £48 for 30 days (current council rate).
How long can I keep the skip?
Standard hire lasts for 14 days (2 weeks). You can extend this by contacting us before the collection date. Extensions usually cost £40-50 for each extra week.
What if my skip gets too full?
Don’t fill your skip above the top line. We can’t collect overfilled skips due to safety and legal rules from the Environment Agency. If you need more space, we can swap it for a larger skip or provide a second one.
Can you collect my skip early if I finish sooner?
Sure! Just call us at 02081310044. We'll set up collection in 24-48 hours, and there's no extra charge for early collection.
