Kings Recycling: Skip Hire and Waste Collection in Reading

“His truck fits in narrow lanes where lots of others can’t go,” one customer told us, and that’s exactly the kind of job we’ve built our name on — the ones a bigger operator might turn down because the access is awkward or the street’s too tight for a full-size lorry.

Local and Independent

We’re a local, independent skip hire and waste management operation based in Reading, run hands-on rather than through a call centre or a national booking system. Whether it’s waste removal, skip hire, recycling, or skip bag collection, we handle it ourselves, which means the person quoting your job is usually the same person turning up to do it. That kind of continuity tends to matter more than people expect, particularly when access is tricky or timing needs to be flexible.

Skip Sizes for Every Job

We supply a range of skip sizes from 3 and 4-yard skips for smaller domestic projects up to 6 and 8-yard skips for larger renovation and construction work. Whatever the scale of your project, we’ll help you land on the right size rather than the one that’s easiest for us to deliver, and if your street or driveway has awkward access, tell us upfront and we’ll talk through what’s actually possible before you book.

Waste Collection and Skip Bag Collection

Beyond skips, we offer a general waste collection service for both domestic and commercial customers, and skip bag collection for smaller jobs that don’t justify a full skip. We can handle all types of waste, from general household rubbish to hazardous materials, always disposed of safely and responsibly.

Free Metal Recycling

We offer free metal waste collection, using modern technology to recycle as much of what we collect as possible. If you’ve got scrap metal sitting around, whether that’s old appliances or leftover building materials, we’ll take it away and see it properly recycled rather than heading to landfill.

Wait and Load, When Time Is Tight

For jobs where a skip can’t sit on site for days, we offer a wait and load service, bringing a skip, waiting while it’s filled, and taking it away in one visit. It’s a useful option when space or timing is genuinely tight.

Committed to Recycling

We’re fully licensed and insured, and we use the latest technology and equipment to make sure your waste is recycled wherever possible. We also offer recycling solutions for businesses, including paper, cardboard and glass recycling, alongside our core skip hire and collection services.

What Our Customers Say

We currently hold a 4.7 out of 5 rating from customer reviews, and the same themes come up again and again: punctuality, friendliness and genuinely competitive pricing. One customer told us their skip was delivered exactly when agreed, with friendly and good communication throughout, and said our price was the cheapest around because we could offer a shorter hire period to suit their needs. Another simply called it a great service, praising a friendly and helpful team and excellent value for money, and said it was a really great company to deal with.

Areas We Cover

We’re based in Reading and cover the surrounding areas across Berkshire, Hampshire and Surrey.

Get in Touch

Contact us for a quote on skip hire, waste collection, skip bags or free metal recycling. Tell us about your property and access, particularly if you’re on a narrow street or lane, and we’ll let you know exactly what we can do.

Being small and independent means we can’t compete with a national operator on advertising, but we’d rather compete on the things that actually matter once you’ve booked: turning up when we say we will, fitting down the lane your last skip company couldn’t manage, and charging a price that reflects the job rather than a head office price list.
