What the price covers, and what costs extra
In every price
- Delivery to your address in the Northern Suburbs, Blouberg or Helderberg
- 3 days on site to load the skip
- Collection by the skip-loader truck
- Disposal of the load
Outside the price
- The City's R712 admin fee, only for a skip on a road, pavement or verge
- Refused loads, which need their own disposal route
What a cubic metre costs in each skip
The 6m³ and 8m³ skips cost R250 per cubic metre. The 2m³ mini costs R425 per cubic metre. Weight changes the sum for rubble. Rubble runs about 1.5 tonnes to the cubic metre when loose. A 6m³ skip filled with it would weigh about 9 tonnes. Heavy loads go in the 2m³ and 3m³ skips.
Keeping the skip hire price down
- Pick the size by weight first: one 3m³ skip at R930 costs less than two minis.
- Use the driveway where you can: no City fee and no wait for written permission.
- Keep refused items out, so the load goes straight to disposal.
- Break up and flatten bulky items, so the skip holds its full volume.

Skip hire price questions
Is the R850 price for the whole hire?
Yes. R850 covers the 2m³ mini skip's delivery, 3 days on site, collection and disposal.
Does the City permit fee come on top of the skip price?
Yes, when the skip stands on a road, pavement or verge. The R712 admin fee for 2026/27 is the City's own charge. A driveway spot avoids it.
How do I get a firm price for my street?
Send the street address, the load and the week on WhatsApp 064 582 1436 or the booking form. The reply gives the size that fits and the all-in price.
