Skip & Hookloader waste services

Call to Book skip >

Pellows delivers reliable skip hire in Falmouth for domestic, commercial, and construction projects of every size. As one of Cornwall's longest-established family-run waste disposal companies, we've been clearing rubbish, rubble, and bulky waste across the South West for over 60 years.

Whether you're clearing out the loft of a cottage near Penryn, managing a busy build on the Falmouth waterfront, or running a marina-side hospitality business that needs regular waste collection, we'll match the right skip to the job. With a full range of skip sizes from 8 to 40 yards, plus specialist hookloader services for larger commercial waste, our friendly service makes the whole process simple.
​
This areas mix of narrow streets, hillside terraces, and busy harbourfront sites means access can be tricky. Our experienced drivers know the area well, including the tight lanes around Old Hill, Killigrew Street, and the residential streets running down towards the docks. Prompt delivery, careful placement, and clean collection are what you get every time.

FAQ's

What types of waste can I put in a skip?

Most general waste is fine, including household rubbish, builders' waste, garden waste, wood, metal, and rubble. Restricted items like asbestos, electrical appliances, mattresses, plasterboard, and tyres need special handling. Contact us if you're unsure about a specific waste type.

What skip sizes are available?

We offer a full range of skip sizes to suit any job:

• 8 yard, ideal for home clear-outs or small building jobs
  
• 12 yard, great for bulky items or larger renovations
  
• 20 to 40 yard hookloaders, suitable for heavy-duty or commercial waste
  

If you're unsure which size suits your project, the team can advise based on the amount and type of material you need removed.

Do I need a permit for skip hire in Falmouth?

It depends on where you're placing the skip. If it goes on your private driveway or land, no permit is needed. If it needs to sit on a public road, a skip permit is required from Cornwall Council. We can arrange this for you and advise on the safest placement.
