What people hire skips for in Bellville
- Kitchen and bathroom strip-outs in the older Oakdale and Boston houses, where a 4 cube usually swallows the lot
- Shopfitting and office refits around Voortrekker Road and Tyger Valley, most of which need an after-hours drop
- Garden clearing on the bigger Stikland and Bellville South plots, where garden refuse is priced differently from rubble
- Builders on small residential additions who want the bin on site for a week, not a day
Getting a skip in and out of Bellville
Most of Bellville is easy going for a skip lorry — wide streets and proper driveways. The tight spots are the older Oakdale roads with cars parked both sides, and the industrial units off Robert Sobukwe where a loading bay can be blocked all morning. If the bin has to stand in the road rather than on your property, you need a permit from the City of Cape Town, and the operator will usually arrange it.
Questions people ask
What size skip do I need for a bathroom renovation in Bellville?
A 4 cube takes a typical bathroom strip-out — tiles, an old bath, a basin and the rubble behind them. If you are doing two bathrooms or a bathroom and a kitchen at once, ask for a 6 cube. Rubble is heavy, so a bin that looks half empty may already be at its weight limit.
Can the skip stand in the road?
Only with a permit from the City of Cape Town, and it must be lit at night. Most Bellville properties have a driveway wide enough that you will not need one. Say on the form whether it is going on your property or in the road and the operator will tell you either way.
How long can I keep it?
Seven days is the usual hire in this area. Most operators will extend it if you ring before it is due, and most will charge for the extra days rather than penalise you — but tell them before the collection date, not after.
