Quick Skips has been clearing soil, rubble and site waste across Dorset since 1993, and Bournemouth's town centre and the streets around it are one of the busiest parts of our patch.
A grab lorry works differently to a skip: the hydraulic arm loads waste straight from where it's piled, and the lorry drives off the same day, so there's nothing left on the street overnight and no permit to arrange.
That's especially useful on Bournemouth's busier streets, where space to leave a skip for a week is often limited. Our drivers are used to working around restricted parking and tighter access, and get a job loaded and cleared quickly.
Our depot sits on the Ferndown Industrial Estate, about seven miles up the A31 and A338 from the town centre, close enough for same-day and next-day slots without a long cross-county trip.
A skip has to be dropped off, filled over days or weeks, then collected on a separate trip, and finding a legal spot to leave one on Bournemouth's busier streets isn't always straightforward.
A grab lorry skips that whole process. It arrives, the arm loads the waste directly from where it's piled, and it's gone in the same visit, whether that's a house renovation, a garden clearance or a commercial strip-out.
What we collect in Bournemouth
Spoil from an extension, driveway dig or landscaping job pulled straight off site instead of being left in a pile.
Material from renovations and refits loaded and gone in one trip, no need to hire and collect a second skip.
Stripped-out kitchens, plasterboard and fixtures from flat and HMO refurbishments, cleared without carrying it through a shared hallway.
Fit-out waste from shops and offices, timed around your trading hours and loaded straight from the back of house.
Usually not. The grab loads and drives off in the same visit, so unlike a skip left on the road for a week, there's nothing sitting there requiring a permit. If your street has restricted parking or loading times, tell us when you book and we'll work around it.
Our depot sits on the Ferndown Industrial Estate, around seven miles out down the A31 and A338, so it's a straightforward run in rather than a long cross-county trip. We can often get a lorry into town same-day depending on the schedule.
A skip sits on site until it's full, then gets collected on a separate trip. A grab lorry turns up, its arm loads the waste directly from where it's piled, and it drives off the same day. On streets around the town centre, where there's rarely a legal spot to leave a skip, that usually works out simpler.
In most cases, yes. The hydraulic arm has a long reach and can lift from basement light-wells, over railings or behind site hoardings, so material doesn't need to be carried out to the pavement first.
Soil, clay, subsoil, hardcore, brick and concrete rubble, general refurbishment waste and green waste from garden or grounds clearances. If you're not sure whether something's suitable, give us a call and describe it and we'll confirm.
Both. Alongside the town centre itself, we regularly work out to Lansdowne, Springbourne, Boscombe, Pokesdown and Southbourne, and can usually reach further across Bournemouth on request.
Generally, yes. Grab lorries are built for exactly this kind of access, and our drivers are used to working on Bournemouth's narrower streets and tighter parking.
Where it can be, yes. We sort what we collect wherever possible and can talk you through disposal routes if it matters for a landlord or managing agent's sign-off on an HMO or flat refurbishment.
A single visit typically clears the equivalent of several standard skips, though the exact volume depends on how dense the material is, soil and rubble fill a lorry faster by weight than the same volume of stripped-out fixtures or green waste.
Same-day is often possible depending on the day's schedule, and we'll usually have a slot free the next working day otherwise. Call the office or send us a WhatsApp message for the fastest answer.
Tell us what needs shifting and we'll give you a straight answer on timing and cost.
Call the office, email us, or send a WhatsApp message, whichever suits you best. We'll talk through access if your street has restricted parking or loading times, confirm availability, and get a lorry booked in, often the same day.
