Mini skip hire for complexes and short driveways
The mini suits townhouse complexes and short driveways. It suits properties where the truck has little room to reverse. Complexes set their own rules. Check with the body corporate where a skip stands before you book.
Driveway or road: the City rule
A driveway skip needs no City permit. A road, pavement or verge spot needs the City of Cape Town's written permission first, with an R712 admin fee for 2026/27.
Mini skip or the 3m³ midi skip
The 3m³ midi skip costs R930. That is R80 more than the mini for 50% more space. Bulky, light loads fill a mini by volume: furniture, boxes and garden cuttings suit the midi. Dense loads fill a skip by weight first: tiles and bricks suit the mini.
