We've recycled nearly 1 million tonnes of waste since we launched online back in 2003, providing a full range of skip hire services across the UK and Ireland from 2 cubic-yard Mini Skips, 4-Yard Midi Skips, 6 to 8-Yard Builder Skips, to 10, 12 and 14-Yard Maxi Skips and 20-40 Yard RORO (Roll On, Roll Off) skip containers.

We've even made video demos for you below to help make sure you get the right skip size for your job (there's nothing worse than having a skip that's too small for your waste!).

Edinburgh is the capital of Scotland and the second largest city in the country, as well as the seventh most populous in the United Kingdom - it has a total population of approximately 486,120.

The city is best known for the Edinburgh festival which attracts thousands of visitors every year. The series of festivals run over four weeks from the beginning of August. The Edinburgh Fringe, a part of the festival, is the largest performing-arts festival in the world. Other popular events are the Hogmanay street party and the Beltane fire festival.

The Scottish capital attracts over 1 million overseas visitors per year, making it the second most visited tourist destination in the United Kingdom.

With a vast population added to by the large amount of visitors, it is vital that Edinburgh disposes of all the waste it produces - Topskips has the answer for this.

We provide skip hire in Edinburgh, with skips of any size available depending on what it is you need. Topskips will deliver your skips in Edinburgh, let you load them up and then take the away. We recycle as much of the waste as we can, helping to minimise the use of landfills as much as possible.

An Edinburgh skip hire permit will be needed before you hire a skip from us; this allows us to place the skip on a public highway - there is more information on permits below.

If you would rather avoid having to organise a permit and the expense that comes with it, we can offer a wait and load service that eliminates the cost of a permit. A wait and load service is when we send a wagon with your empty skip as planned, wait 30 minutes to let you load it up with waste and then take it away there and then. This saves times, money, stress and also stops your neighbours from chucking in their waste, too!

Whatever your situation, Topskips can help.

Call us for a no-obligation quote for skip hire in Edinburgh on 08445 60 77 10.

We are an ISO:9001 registered company and part of PAL Hire.

This means that we're recognised internationally as having the highest quality systems. It also means that we supply not just skip hire, but tool hire, plant hire, toilet hire, fence hire - everything for your site or event.

If you did NOT find what you were looking for today, I'd really like to hear from you also - it will help us improve our service for others. Just email me using the contact form here.

Thank you!

The 6yd Small Builder Skip is good for bulky waste, and can hold 50/60 bin bags of waste.

4 Cubic Yard Midi Skip

The 4yd Midi Skip is ideal for Kitchen and Bathroom refits, and can hold 30/40 bin bags of waste.

The 10yd Maxi Skip is ideal for large house clearances. It can hold 80/100 bin bags of waste (but not heavy waste like bricks).

Skip Hire Permits

If you are placing a skip on the highway, your local council may require you to get a permit to do so. This varies from council to council. Some councils charge for this, some do not.

We can often sort this for you, although sometimes the council may require you to do it yourself. For further advice on your particular council, call our skip hire team on 08445 60 77 10 or visit our skip hire permits page.
