Hiring a Skip in Cork
Skip hire in Cork starts from €290 with VAT, delivery, collection and disposal included. Cork books small skips at nearly double the national rate, almost half of all orders here: terraced streets in the city, compact driveways in Ballincollig and Douglas, and plenty of one-room jobs make the small skip the local favourite. Cork covers a lot of ground: a busy city, spreading suburbs, market towns and a wide rural hinterland, so we hire skips throughout the county for everything from a weekend clear-out to a long-running build.
We cover the county at town level: more than 70 Cork locations carry their own pricing in our system, from Blackpool and Bishopstown out to Bandon, Cobh, Mitchelstown and Skibbereen, so the price you're quoted is Cork-specific, not a national average.
Areas We Cover in Cork
We serve Cork City and county, including:
- Douglas, Bishopstown, Ballincollig, Midleton, Carrigaline, Mallow, Bandon, and surrounding areas.

Quick Answers For Cork.
Do I need a skip permit in Cork?
Only for skips on public roads or footpaths. Inside the city boundary that permit comes from Cork City Council; elsewhere it's Cork County Council. On a driveway or private site, no permit is required.
How much is skip hire in Cork?
From €290 all-in, including VAT, delivery, collection and disposal. Because small skips dominate Cork orders, typical spend here sits below the national average for an equivalent job.
Why are small skips so popular in Cork?
Access. Cork's terraced streets and tight suburban driveways favour the small skip, and at 48% of local orders, about twice the national rate, it's the default for clear-outs and single-room projects. Midi and builder sizes are available everywhere too.
Do you deliver to West Cork?
Yes. Skibbereen, Bandon and the western towns are priced individually in our system alongside the city and suburbs, so coverage runs the full length of the county, with next-day slots on most routes.
How long can I keep a skip in Cork?
The standard hire runs five days, which covers most jobs comfortably. Need longer? Call us and we will extend the hire; flexible hire is part of the service, and collection is only booked when you tell us the skip is ready.
Which sizes are available for Cork skip hire?
Everything from the 4 yard small skip (30 to 40 bin bags) to the 14 yard XL (up to 140 bin bags). Availability per size depends on the local supplier, and the checkout only shows sizes genuinely bookable in Cork. Larger builder sizes (10 to 35 yards) can be arranged where the local supplier carries them; ask when booking.
What happens to the waste collected in Cork?
Every skip goes to a licensed facility where the load is sorted, and over 90% of material is diverted from landfill. Metal, timber, cardboard and inert material are separated into recycling streams as standard.
Is a skip the right choice for my Cork job?
If the waste arrives over days or weeks, yes. For context, in Cork skips start at €290, junk crew collections start at €86, and skip bags from €115. If everything is already in a pile and you would rather not load it, price the crew option before you decide.
Can I get a skip tomorrow in Cork?
Usually. Since 3 suppliers cover the county, next-day slots are standard on the main routes through Cork City and Ballincollig; more rural addresses can take an extra day. You see and confirm the real date before paying.
Why do skip prices differ between towns in Cork?
Each town is served by whichever suppliers genuinely cover it, so the floor price moves with the local haulage: Ballincollig from €290, Carrigaline from €290, Cobh from €290, Clonakilty from €290, Youghal from €290. The checkout always shows the figure for your own address, and the county from-price is simply the cheapest anywhere in Cork.
What is included in Kollect's skip hire price?
Delivery, collection, disposal and VAT. No hidden
extras. If you need an extra day, just call, we'll sort
it.
How long can I keep a hired skip in Ireland?
Standard hire is 5 days. Need more time? Call us before
collection and we'll extend it.
Do I need to be home when my skip is delivered?
No. Just tell us where to place it. Most of our
customers aren't home when the skip arrives.
Do I need a permit to hire a skip in Ireland?
Only if the skip is going on a public road. If it's on
your driveway or property, no permit needed. Call us if
you're not sure, we'll check.
What items are not allowed in a skip in Ireland?
No fridges, freezers, TVs & electricals, mattresses,
paint, tyres, asbestos, batteries, plasterboard, or
liquids. Got one of these? Our
junk removal service takes all of
them.
What happens if I overfill a hired skip?
The skip must be level-loaded, no higher than the rim.
Overfilled skips are unsafe to transport and can't be
collected. If you've got more than you thought, call us
and we'll upsize or add a second skip.
Can I share a skip hire with my neighbour in Ireland?
Absolutely. You just split the cost between you. One
address for delivery is all we need.

Prefer To Just Talk To Someone?
