Skip bin hire made simple
Waste Away hires out skips across Harare for every kind of job: house renovations, garden clean-ups, moving house, office clear-outs, shop fits and full construction projects. We deliver the skip, you fill it, and we collect it and take the waste to our own materials recovery facility in Ardbennie.
Booking is quick. WhatsApp us on +263 787 565 282 or call +263 771 623 997 with your suburb and what you're clearing. We'll recommend a skip size and confirm a drop-off slot within 72 hours, Monday to Friday.
Which skip size do I need?
- Small skip — a room clear-out, garden refuse, a bathroom or kitchen refit, or anywhere access is tight.
- Standard skip — our most popular size, for bigger home renovations, office clear-outs and general commercial waste.
- XL skip — construction and demolition sites, large volumes of rubble, or ongoing commercial waste.
Every size is available open-top or closed with a lid. For very large volumes we also run 20-tonne trucks for bulk waste.
What can go in a skip?
- Builders' rubble: bricks, concrete, tiles, plaster and soil
- Garden refuse: branches, grass, leaves and stumps
- Household junk, old furniture and general waste
- Packaging, cardboard, pallets and offcuts
- Commercial and light industrial waste
Please keep hazardous items out: chemicals, liquid paint, oils, asbestos, batteries, gas cylinders and medical waste.
Skip hire for businesses and building sites
Contractors, factories and shops across Harare's industrial areas — Msasa, Workington, Southerton and Graniteside — use our skips on a regular swap schedule. Ask us about commercial waste collection.
Our skips
Small skip
For household clear-outs, garden refuse and small renovation jobs where space is tight.
Standard skip
For bigger home projects, office clear-outs and general commercial waste.
XL skip
For construction and demolition sites, or any job producing large volumes of rubble and waste.
Every size comes open-top or closed (lidded) — a lid keeps rain, wind-blown litter and scavengers out. Not sure which you need? Tell us the job on WhatsApp and we'll recommend one.

Skip hire questions
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.
Can I get regular skip swaps for my business or site?
Yes. We set up regular swaps for construction sites, factories and shops, so a full skip is replaced with an empty one on schedule.
