Skip hire & waste removal FAQ
Answers to the questions we get asked most about skip hire, waste collection and recycling in Harare.
Your questions answered
How quickly can you deliver a skip in Harare?
We drop off within 72 hours of your request, Monday to Friday. Industrial areas close to our Ardbennie depot, such as Southerton and Workington, are often quicker.
Which areas of Harare do you cover?
Every Harare suburb and industrial area — from Borrowdale and Mount Pleasant to Msasa, Workington, Waterfalls and the western suburbs.
What skip sizes do you have?
Small, Standard and XL skips, each available open-top or closed with a lid. We also run 20-tonne trucks for bulk waste.
How much does skip hire cost?
It depends on the skip size, your location and how often you need collections. WhatsApp us your suburb and the job for a quick quote — see our skip hire prices guide.
What happens to my waste?
Collected waste goes to our materials recovery facility at 72 Spurn Road, Ardbennie, where cardboard, plastics, metal and glass are sorted out for recycling, keeping as much as possible out of landfill.
How long can I keep the skip?
Fill it at your own pace and WhatsApp us when it's full — we collect within 72 hours of your request. For longer projects we can swap a full skip for an empty one.
Do I need a permit to put a skip outside my property?
If the skip fits on your property or driveway you usually don't. If it must go on a public road or verge, check with the City of Harare first. We're happy to advise on the best placement.
What can't go in a skip?
No hazardous waste: chemicals, paint tins with liquid paint, asbestos, batteries, medical waste, gas cylinders or oils. Ask us if you're unsure about an item.
Should I choose a skip with a lid?
A lid keeps out rain, wind-blown litter and scavengers, and stops neighbours adding their rubbish. It's a good choice for homes, shops and anywhere the skip stays for a while.
Do you offer scheduled waste collection for businesses?
Yes. We set up regular skip swaps or truck collections for factories, warehouses, offices, shops and construction sites, on a schedule that fits your volumes.
Can you collect large volumes of waste?
Yes. Our 20-tonne trucks handle bulk waste from construction sites, factory clean-ups and large clearances.
What counts as builders' rubble?
Bricks, blocks, concrete, tiles, plaster, sand and soil from building, renovation or demolition work.
Which skip is best for rubble?
Rubble is heavy, so a Small or Standard skip is often right for home renovations. For demolitions and large sites we use XL skips or 20-tonne trucks.
How much does it cost to hire a skip in Harare?
The price depends on the skip size, your location and how often you need it collected. WhatsApp your suburb and the job to get an exact quote, usually the same day.
Is delivery included?
We quote for the full job — drop-off and collection — so there are no surprises.
