The 2m³ skip arrives
The skip-loader truck sets the skip down on the spot you choose, normally a driveway or yard. A spot on the road or verge needs the City's written permission first.
Fill it, then collection
You get 3 days to load it to the rim. Collection and licensed disposal are in the price for rubble, garden and household waste.
What can go in the skip
Loads the skip takes
- Builders rubble: bricks, concrete, plaster, tiles
- Garden refuse: branches, palm fronds, hedge cuttings, leaves
- Clean-outs: old cupboards, doors, carpet, boxes, broken furniture
- Bathroom and kitchen strip-outs
- Mixed loads of all of the above
Loads the skip can't take
- Asbestos (a registered asbestos contractor removes it)
- Paint, solvents, oil and other chemicals
- Liquids
- Gas cylinders
- Tyres and batteries
- Medical waste and e-waste
Load to the rim and no higher. A skip piled above the top can't be lifted onto the truck safely, so it has to be levelled before collection.
Brick and tile jobs: rubble skips. Green waste: garden refuse skips.
Skip rental on a driveway, or on the road
Most Darwin skips stand on driveways, in yards or just inside a complex gate, where no City permit is needed. On steep Atlantic Seaboard roads and terraced streets without driveways the road is sometimes the only spot, and then the City's written permission comes first.

Driveway or road: the City rule
A skip on your own driveway, yard or paving needs no City permit. A skip on a public road, pavement or verge needs the prior written permission of the City of Cape Town, according to the City's Streets, Public Places and Prevention of Noise Nuisances By-law, 2007, section 10, which counts the verge as part of the road.
The application is a Temporary Use (of the road reserve) form, handed in at the Roads Infrastructure Management district office. The admin fee is R712 for 2026/27, and the City can ask for a refundable deposit. There is no online application.
Skip hire questions people ask first
How much is skip hire in Cape Town with Darwin?
A 2m³ mini skip costs R900, and that covers delivery, collection, disposal and 3 days on site in the Southern Suburbs, Atlantic Seaboard and Deep South. Longer hire is quoted on WhatsApp before you book.
Does the skip need a permit?
No, not on your own driveway, yard or paving. A skip on a public road, pavement or verge needs the prior written permission of the City of Cape Town: a Temporary Use (of the road reserve) application at the Roads Infrastructure Management district office, with an R712 admin fee for 2026/27.
Can rubble and garden refuse go in one skip?
Yes. Mixed loads of rubble, garden refuse and household junk are fine, as long as the load sits no higher than the rim and nothing on the not-accepted list goes in.
Do you deliver the same day?
No. Skips are booked for the same week. Send your address and the week you need on WhatsApp (064 582 1436) and Darwin Skip Hire confirms a delivery day.
