Christmas is coming, and that means visitors, decorations, presents and lots of extra space needed. The easiest way to get your home ready? Hire a skip and do a big clear-out before the festive season begins.

Declutter before the rush

The run-up to Christmas is the perfect time to finally tackle those cluttered spaces. Garages full of old toys, lofts packed with boxes, or garden sheds that have been left all year. It all takes up space you could use. A skip makes the job quick and simple. Load it up, we collect it, and you have a clean, tidy home before the decorations go up.

Perfect for unwanted furniture

Christmas often means new furniture arriving. Sofas, tables, beds or wardrobes. Rather than cramming the old pieces into the spare room, use skip hire to get rid of them properly. Our domestic skips are ideal for bulky waste and we make sure as much as possible is recycled.

Take the stress out of rubbish runs

Multiple trips to the local tip are the last thing you want to be doing in December. The queues can be long and opening hours limited. By hiring a skip, all your waste goes in one place and is taken away in one go. Less hassle, less mess, and more time to focus on Christmas shopping.

Suitable for garden clear-ups too

Winter tidy-ups are popular at this time of year. Get the garden looking neat before the bad weather really sets in. You can use a skip for soil, green waste, branches and old fencing. Perfect for giving the outside of your home a fresh look before visitors arrive.

Fast delivery, fast collection

At Fawkes Recycling, we deliver skips quickly across Derbyshire, South Yorkshire and Nottinghamshire. When you’re done, we collect promptly so your driveway is clear before Christmas guests arrive.

Our team also handles permits if your skip needs to be placed on the road. That means less admin for you and one less thing to think about during the festive rush.

FAQs

What size skip do I need for a pre-Christmas clear-out?
For most house clearances, a 4-yard or 6-yard skip is perfect. If you have large furniture or a full garage clearance, you might want to choose an 8-yard skip.

Can I put furniture and old appliances in the skip?
Yes, most domestic waste including furniture, beds, carpets and appliances can go into a skip. Just let us know if you have items like fridges or freezers as they require special disposal.

How quickly can I get a skip delivered?
We offer fast delivery and will always try to get a skip to you within 24–48 hours, sometimes even the same day.

Do I need a permit?
If the skip is going on your driveway, no permit is required. If it will be placed on a public road, we can arrange a council permit for you.

What happens to the waste once it’s collected?
We sort and recycle as much waste as possible at our recycling centre, reducing the amount sent to landfill.
