Load & Wait

Our Load & Wait service is the smarter alternative to skip hire. We bring our vehicle to your property, your team loads it up while we wait on-site, and we drive away with everything in one visit. No permit. No skip sitting on your drive for a week. No neighbours using it.

How the Service Works

Simple as 1, 2, 3

We Arrive at Your Property

We pull up in our van at the agreed time. No skip delivery, no waiting for a lorry — just us, your property and a vehicle ready to be filled.

You Load at Your Own Pace

Your team loads the waste into the van while we wait on-site. You control the pace. We're there whenever you're ready. Perfect for building sites, office clearances and domestic clear-outs.

We Drive Away — Job Done

Once loaded, we take everything to a licensed waste facility in a single visit. All waste is sorted and recycled wherever possible. Duty of Care certificate available on request.

Please note: We do NOT remove hazardous or toxic waste, including asbestos-containing materials, chemicals or paint. If you have bulky items or larger loads, let us know and we’ll quote accordingly.

Common Questions

Frequently Asked Questions

Load & Wait means we bring our waste vehicle to your property at an agreed time and wait on-site while you or your team load the waste into the back of the van. Once you’ve loaded everything, we drive away with it all in a single visit. It’s ideal when you need a skip alternative but don’t want a skip sitting outside for days — no permit needed, no access issues, no neighbours filling it overnight.
No — never. Because our vehicle arrives, is loaded and then leaves on the same visit, there’s no requirement for a road permit at any point. Skip hire on a public road in London requires a council permit (typically £30–£80) which takes time to arrange and adds to the cost. With Load & Wait, we eliminate that entirely.
Wait time is included in the price and depends on the load size. For a small load, we’d typically expect up to 45 minutes of loading. For a half load, up to 90 minutes. For a full van, up to around 2.5 hours. If you anticipate needing longer, just let us know when booking and we can factor that in. We’re flexible and work to your pace.
Most types of non-hazardous waste can be loaded — building materials, furniture, electrical items, garden waste, office contents, general household waste and mixed rubbish. The only items we cannot accept are hazardous materials such as asbestos, chemicals, paint or toxic substances. If you’re unsure about a specific item, just ask before the visit.
 
Yes — in most cases, if you call or message us before noon we can arrange a same-day Load & Wait visit. It’s one of the main advantages of this service over skip hire, where delivery is usually next-day at the earliest. Call us on +44 7592 557057 to check same-day availability.
 
In most cases yes — and when you factor in the cost of a permit (if the skip goes on a public road), Load & Wait is almost always cheaper. A 6-yard skip in London starts from around £225 plus potentially £50–£80 for a permit. Our Load & Wait service starts from £85 and includes the waiting time and licensed disposal. It’s faster, cheaper and far less hassle.

Yes — a Duty of Care waste transfer certificate is available on request with every Load & Wait booking. This is particularly important for businesses and contractors who need to demonstrate that their waste has been legally disposed of. Just let us know when booking and we’ll have it ready for you.
