Services
Skip Hire
Our skip hire service provides a full range of skip sizes for domestic and commercial waste removal. Prices include up to 10 days hire with clear guidelines on permitted materials and loading restrictions. We ensure safe delivery and collection while maintaining compliance with environmental regulations.
Cage Waste Collection
Ideal for spaces without skip access, our cage waste collection uses flatbed vans for quick removal. This service avoids skip permit requirements while maintaining efficient disposal of various waste types. Available as a convenient alternative to traditional skip hire.
Grab Loader Services
Our grab loader efficiently clears soil, rubble, and green waste from sites. This service offers rapid heavy-lifting capabilities without requiring vehicle access to the site. Particularly suited for large-scale demolition and construction projects.
Waste Transfer Station
Our Waste Transfer Station provides cost-effective disposal for self-delivered waste. Equipped to handle mixed construction materials with strict recycling compliance. Open during standard business hours for direct waste drop-off.
Demolition Services
Specialised demolition support includes waste removal for complete site clearance. We handle materials like rubble, concrete, and green waste with appropriate disposal methods. Service integrates with skip hire and grab loader operations for comprehensive project support.
Questions
What skip sizes do you offer?
We provide 4, 6, 8, and 14-yard skips to accommodate various project sizes, from small household clearances to large commercial developments.
Can skips be placed on public roads?
Skips require council permits for public road placement. We assist with permit applications but recommend private property placement where possible to avoid additional charges.
What materials cannot be disposed of in skips?
We prohibit hazardous materials like asbestos, chemicals, and electronic waste. Mixed construction skips allow maximum 20% non-recyclables including carpets, underlay, and certain plastics.
Do you offer winter discounts?
Yes, our annual Winter Wonderland promotion provides up to 20% off mixed construction skips during January, with delivery available until end of March using promo code Winterwonderland.
Are there weight restrictions for skips?
Skips must not be overloaded above the level load line. Excessively heavy loads risk health and safety violations, potentially causing collection refusal or additional surcharges.

Just had a very unpleasant encounter with this company - PLEASE AVOID. They automatically picked up the skip at 6.30 am, disturbing holiday guests far before the skip was ready top be taken (hardly anything in it). They swear blind it was because it was only a 7 day hire but I was not aware of this. Previously when I have hired a skip I have always phoned to let them know it was ready. Upon speaking with an employee and a manager it quickly became clear they had no interest in helping and were only capable of understanding their side of the story. A terrible experience, a waste of money and

The website was easy to use, and the prices were clear. Emails were prompt and simple. Drivers were polite, professional and organised. The only thing to note is that standard hire is 7 days.

I really liked Midlothian Skip Hire right from the beginning: their website lists prices for a start - all other companies I found did not, and after phoning them they turned out to charge more than Midlothian Skip Hire does. Emails were responded to very quickly and politely. Changing what I had booked online by a day was not a problem. Delivery and pick-up of the skip to/from our driveway went without any problems. I would recommend this company to anyone.
