Specialist skips for waste that needs more than a normal collection.
Purpose-built roll-on/roll-off skip logistics for mining waste, contaminated material, asbestos waste and regulated industrial loads—planned around the classification, special-waste approval and disposal route your site requires.

Not household skip hire
Built for controlled waste movements.
When the contents are contaminated, hazardous or subject to special disposal requirements, the skip is only one part of the job.
West Coast Skips helps mines, contractors and industrial operators plan the container, transport and approved disposal route before anything leaves site. That means the right questions are asked early—and your team gets a practical collection plan instead of a generic bin drop.

Tell us what it is before we tell you where it can go.
Every quote starts with waste type, site location, estimated volume and available classification or safety information.
Asbestos-containing waste
Skip transport and disposal coordination for asbestos waste correctly prepared by a registered asbestos contractor, subject to packaging, classification and facility requirements.
Plan a collectionIndustrial solid waste
Controlled skip services for manufacturing, maintenance and project waste that cannot enter a standard builders' rubble or general-waste stream.
Check acceptanceProject & site clean-ups
Planned container rotations for remediation, demolition and shutdown work where separation and an auditable disposal trail matter.
Scope your projectImportant: acceptance is confirmed per load. Liquid waste, unclassified material and unsupported hazardous loads cannot be placed in a skip without prior approval.
Actual West Coast Skips fleet
Practical site logistics
One truck. Two skips. Fewer wasted trips.
Our truck can carry a skip on the hook-lift body and tow a second skip on a purpose-built trailer. For remote, high-volume or time-sensitive sites, that gives your team more collection capacity per movement.
- Covered skips for controlled solid-waste loads
- Planned placement on a safe, accessible hardstand
- Single collections or scheduled rotations
- Cape Town, Saldanha and wider Western Cape coverage
From site to approved facility
A clear route for a controlled load.
We confirm what is being moved before the skip arrives, then plan the collection and disposal documentation around the approved waste route.
- 01
Describe the waste
Send the waste type, photos, site location, expected volume and any classification or safety documents.
- 02
Confirm the route
We assess skip suitability, access, packaging needs and the permit or facility requirements that apply.
- 03
Place the skip
We deliver to an agreed hardstand so your authorised site team can load safely and keep waste separated.
- 04
Collect & document
We collect on request or schedule, transport to the approved destination and provide applicable disposal records.
Compliance before convenience
Hazardous waste cannot take the general-waste route.
Commercial hazardous waste may require classification, WIR/IPWIS registration, testing and a City of Cape Town special-waste permit before an approved facility can accept it. We confirm the applicable route and load approval before collection—not after the skip is full.
Waste assessed before booking
Approved destination confirmed
Applicable records retained
Before you book
Useful answers for site teams.
Can I put any hazardous waste into the skip?
No. Waste must be described and accepted before delivery. Classification, packaging, moisture, contamination and the approved disposal facility can all affect whether a skip is suitable.
Do you remove asbestos from buildings?
West Coast Skips provides the skip logistics and disposal coordination for correctly prepared asbestos waste. Identification, abatement and removal must be handled by appropriately registered asbestos professionals under the current Asbestos Abatement Regulations.
Do you work outside Cape Town?
Yes. The initial service area includes Cape Town, the West Coast and wider Western Cape, including industrial and mining sites around Saldanha. Send the exact location so we can confirm access and transport costs.
What should I send for a quote?
Your site location, waste description, photos, estimated volume, preferred dates and any classification, safety data or previous disposal documents you already have.
