What a Skip Costs in the Winelands
We do not publish a single price for the Winelands, because there is no single price. This page shows every line the operator charges for, so you can read a quote and know what you are paying.

Why there is no one Winelands price
A skip price is the sum of a few real costs: the bin, the truck, the driver's time, the distance to your address, the weight at the weighbridge and the tip fee at the facility that serves your town. Change the town and the tip fee and the distance change with it.
Some operators publish a headline number and add the rest later. We would rather you see the whole calculation before you book.
The lines in a quote
Ask for these as separate lines. An operator who can itemise them is an operator who knows what the job costs.
- Bin size — 2m³ to 8m³, and whether a swap is included
- Waste type — general, building rubble, garden, or mixed
- Hire period — how many days are included and what a further day costs
- Weight — the allowance and the rate per ton over it
- Tip fees — what the facility that serves your town charges for that waste stream
- Distance — the delivery and collection run to your address
- Access — stairs, farm roads, estate gates, narrow streets, or a long carry
The facility that serves your town is part of the price
Tipping is not the same everywhere in the district. Stellenbosch's general waste has gone to a private landfill in the Cape Town area since 2019, and the Klapmuts transfer station runs at capacity. Robertson's transfer station does not accept building and demolition waste at all, so rubble from Robertson has further to travel.
Each town page names the facility and the municipal rule behind it, with the source.
Getting a price you can compare
Send the same details to two operators and compare the whole quote, not the headline. The cheaper bin is often the one with a shorter hire period, a lower weight allowance or a tip fee that has not been included.
When you send your request through this site, say what the load is made of and when you need the bin. That is what makes a quote accurate rather than a guess.
What is never included without telling you
A quote should state the weight allowance and the over-weight rate, whether the price includes tipping, what a swap costs, and what happens if the bin is not accessible on the day. If the quote is a single number with no lines, ask what is in it.
Questions before you book
Short answers. Where the answer depends on the operator, the page says so instead of inventing a number.
Do you publish from-prices?
No. Not until an operator confirms them for this site. A published from-price that the operator cannot honour costs you more than the time you save.
Is a permit included in the quote?
Only if the operator arranges it. Where a bin must stand on a public road, the municipality requires written consent before it goes there, and that is a separate step. Ask who is arranging it.
Why did two quotes differ so much?
Usually weight, hire period or tipping. Compare the lines, not the total. A quote that excludes tip fees looks cheaper until the bin is weighed.
The request
Request a bin for your address
The town and one line about the job — what you are clearing, the size, the date and any access constraint. The town decides which operator sees it, and the price comes back as a quote, not a guess.
- One form. No account, no card, no obligation.
- A local operator confirms the size, the hire period and the price.
- Nothing is dropped until you accept the quote.
The request desk is not the skip company: the operator who quotes you delivers and tips the bin. The footer of every page says the same thing.
The request slip
Five fields. Your town decides which operator sees it.
