Kirkby Skips: Skip Hire, Tipper Hire and Recycling Across Merseyside

We run Merseyside’s first electric skip loader fleet, which says a lot about how seriously we take the environmental side of this business — not just recycling what comes back to us, but cutting emissions on the vehicles that deliver and collect it in the first place.

Over 35 Years in the Same Family

Established since 1989, we’ve grown from a local Kirkby operation into one of Merseyside’s leading waste management companies, and we’ve stayed family owned throughout. We now work alongside some of the largest companies in the UK, providing same-day skip hire and waste management services, but we’ve held onto the same core ethos we started with: proper customer care, delivered by experienced people who actually know the industry, whether the customer in front of us is a national contractor or someone clearing out a garage. That mix of scale and continuity is fairly unusual in this trade — plenty of skip firms are either small and local or large and impersonal, and we’ve tried hard to stay both properly established and genuinely approachable.

Recycling You Can Actually See

At Kirkby Skips, we’re committed to disposing of your waste in a genuinely environmentally responsible way, and we back that up with evidence rather than just a claim on our website. We offer both daily and monthly recycling reports to our customers: the daily report breaks down each skip individually, showing the percentage and weight of each waste type and how much of it was recycled, while the monthly report gives a fuller picture across everything removed from site over that period. For larger businesses with high waste output, we can also carry out on-site audits and introduce waste segregation, which raises recycling levels and can reduce landfill tax costs at the same time. It’s the kind of reporting most domestic customers never think to ask for, but it matters a great deal to commercial clients who need it for their own compliance records.

What We Recycle

Our licensed and audited Waste Transfer Recycling Facility processes wood, metal, hardcore, PVC, soil, greenwaste, plasterboard, glass, plastic, tiles and ceramics, cardboard and WEEE. Handling this range in-house, under one licence, means your waste is carried, treated and disposed of correctly at every stage, not passed through several hands before it’s properly accounted for.

Skip Hire, Tipper Hire and Site Clearance

Skip hire is where most people first come to us, and we offer a full range of skip sizes for both domestic and commercial jobs, alongside tipper hire and site clearance for larger projects. Same-day skip hire is one of the things that sets us apart, particularly useful for urgent jobs where waiting a day or two simply isn’t an option. We can also help arrange skip permits where a skip needs to sit on a public road, so you don’t need to work out the local rules yourself.

What Our Customers Say

Feedback for Kirkby Skips consistently comes back to reliability and friendliness. One customer told us their skip was delivered, filled, and collected the following afternoon by a very pleasant and friendly driver, and said they’d highly recommend us. A trade customer, a tiler who’s used us on his own jobs, told us we were competitive on price, delivered on time, and sorted out an extra week’s permit for him when it was needed, adding he’d be using us again. One reviewer, who told us they’re normally sceptical about online reviews, still went out of their way to leave one after a good experience with us, which is about as honest an endorsement as you can get.

Areas We Cover

We serve Liverpool, Merseyside, Knowsley, Sefton, St Helens and Skelmersdale, including Kirkby and Prescot, and we’re always happy to check availability if you’re just outside our usual patch.

Get in Touch

Whether you need a skip, a tipper, a site clearance, or a proper recycling audit for your business, get in touch with Kirkby Skips today. We work with everyone from homeowners to some of the UK’s largest companies, and we bring the same standard of care to both.

Over 35 years, we’ve watched the waste industry change a great deal, from landfill tax rules to how recycling is measured and reported, and we’ve kept pace with it rather than sticking to how things were done when we started. The electric skip loaders are the latest example of that, but they won’t be the last.
