Access & siting
Will a RoRo get in?
A RoRo lorry is considerably larger than a skip lorry. Check four things before delivery.
- A straight run, about 16 m long and 3 m wideIt reverses in and sets the container down in line — no tight turns, pinch points or blocked gates.
- About 5.5 m clear overheadThe container tips up as it comes off — no lifting under or near power lines. Cables, trees or scaffolding over the spot? Tell us before you book.
- Firm, level groundThe lorry with a loaded container is around 30 tonnes — the ground has to take it.
- A spot it can stayLevel, and still reachable when the lorry comes back to exchange or collect it.
Typical figures for UK vehicles, not a specification — lorries vary.
How it works
Rolled off, filled, rolled back on.
A large open container, delivered and collected by a hook-lift lorry. No collection date needed when you book.
1. Book the container
Choose the size and the delivery day. The collection date can wait.
2. Fill it on site
Full before the job is done? Book an exchange online — an empty one arrives as the full one leaves.
3. We email you a calendar
Tap the collection day; we confirm it with the supplier.
How it’s priced
What you are actually paying for.
A minimum tonnage, then a rate per tonne
The quoted figure covers the weight your container includes. Anything heavier is weighed at the facility and billed by the tonne, at the rate for that material.
Haulage per movement
Every delivery and every exchange is a lorry journey, and each one carries its own haulage. Collecting the container at the end is part of the last movement, not an extra one.
Which is why the size is nearly free
Containers sharing a minimum tonnage quote the same figure, so a bigger box costs no more until you fill it. Take the larger one — an empty half is free.
| Waste | Per tonne, + VAT |
|---|---|
| General / Mixed Waste | £165.00 |
| Mixed Construction & Demolition | £165.00 |
| Wood | £165.00 |
| Green / Garden Waste | £165.00 |
| Plasterboard | £165.00 |
| Cardboard / Paper | £165.00 |

Questions
RoRo hire, answered.
How many skips is a RoRo worth?
A 20-yard roll-on/roll-off holds roughly what two-and-a-half 8-yard builders' skips hold, and a 40-yard about five. Volume is usually not the reason to choose one, though — the weight allowance is. A large skip cannot legally be taken away full of soil or rubble, so heavy material in quantity means a RoRo whatever the volume works out to.
Do I need a permit for a roll-on/roll-off?
Only if it stands on the public highway, which is unusual for a RoRo — they are almost always sited on private ground because of the space and the load-bearing the lorry needs. Where one does go on the road it needs the council's permit: we arrange it, and its cost is shown before you commit.
Can I have it exchanged when it is full?
Yes, and online rather than by phone. An exchange is one lorry movement: the full container leaves and an empty one is set down in the same place. You can book it from the site without ringing anyone, which is the part most suppliers still do by phone.
What happens if I go over the included weight?
Going over the included weight doesn't stop the collection — the load is weighed at the facility and the tonnage over the included weight is billed by the tonne, at the rate for that waste stream. The calculator shows the rate for your postcode before you book, so an overweight container is a bigger bill rather than a surprise one.
