What people hire skips for in Claremont

  • Renovations in the old Claremont and Newlands houses, which nearly always means rubble, old timber and plaster together
  • Harfield Village work, where the streets are narrow, the houses are semi-detached and there is often no driveway at all
  • Student let turnarounds around the Rondebosch and Claremont fringes at the end of the academic year
  • Tree and garden work under the mountain, which comes with more green waste than most people plan for

Getting a skip in and out of Claremont

This is the part of Cape Town where access decides everything. Harfield Village and the older Claremont streets have cars parked both sides, narrow entrances and, in many cases, no driveway — so the bin goes in the road and you need a City of Cape Town permit. Heritage overlays apply to parts of Newlands, which does not stop a skip but does mean somebody may take an interest in how long it stands there. Ask for the smaller bin here: a 6 cube that cannot be delivered is worse than a 4 cube that can.

Questions people ask

There is no driveway. Can I still get a skip?

Yes, but it stands in the road and that needs a permit from the City. The operator normally arranges it, and it takes a few days, so do not leave it to the morning the builders start. It also has to be marked and lit at night.

The street is very narrow. What size can actually get in?

In Harfield and the older Claremont roads, a 2 or 4 cube is usually the honest answer. Say on the form that access is tight and let the operator judge it — they would far rather know before sending a lorry that cannot turn.

How quickly can I get one?

Often next day, sometimes same day if you ring early. The delay in this area is rarely the bin, it is the permit if the skip has to stand in the road.
