Can I pay by credit card?

We accept all types of credit and debit cards.

Will you do a cheaper rate for segregated waste?

We can do a lower rate for your waste if it is all the same material. For instance all soil or all rubble. This incurs less time for us at the transfer station therefore we can pass on the savings to you!

What is a waste transfer station?

Our fully installed Waste Transfer Station is where we take all of your waste. This is then mechanically and manually segregated into reusable items ready for recycling.

How long can I have a skip for?

We allow anything from 1 day to 2 weeks hire which is flexible. Contract hire can also be arranged.

Do you provide a wait and load service?

Yes, we can wait while the skip is being loaded, this is particularly useful in areas where skips are not allowed to be left overnight. In areas where access is tight, skips are not allowed on the highway.

Can we tip directly at your Recycling Centre?

Yes, we can accept your waste directly at our recycling centre in Fordingbridge however you must have a waste carriers license or a valid utility bill to do so.

Can we wheel a wheel barrow straight into your skips?
