Urmston is a Trafford town on the south-western side of Greater Manchester, lying next to the M60. Shops and flats cluster around Crofts Bank Road and Flixton Road in the centre, and beyond them Flixton, Davyhulme, Woodsend and Dumplington are made up of semis, terraces and post-war family homes. Skips Manchester’s licensed team arranges waste services and skip hire all over Urmston.

Skips Manchester provides fully licensed skip hire right across Manchester, and in Urmston that means households, town-centre traders and firms near Trafford Park are all catered for – anything from a 4-yard skip up to grab lorries and RORO containers.

Timing depends on whether a Trafford permit is needed, so let us know if the skip will stand on the road or fit on a driveway. A waste transfer note accompanies each load. Use the quote form on this page or ring 0333 121 1056.

Services throughout Urmston

Households and businesses in Urmston call on a wide variety of services:

  • Builders’ and domestic skips, 4 to 16 yards
  • Muck away and grab hire for extensions and driveways
  • Bulky waste and man-with-van collections for flats
  • Construction skips and RORO containers for development sites
  • Commercial waste collections for town-centre businesses

Rubble, soil and other heavy waste is usually restricted to skips no bigger than 8 yards. TVs, fridges and upholstered armchairs and sofas must stay out of a general skip; tell us about them at booking and a separate collection can be organised.

Trafford Council permits, not Manchester

Urmston is close to Manchester but belongs to Trafford. That means a skip placed on a public road requires a permit from Trafford Council, not Manchester City Council. Applying is normally down to the skip provider; the skip has to carry lights and reflective markings, and a few working days should be allowed.

The centre of Urmston and the terraced streets around it are busy, on-street space is scarce and rear ginnels are rarely wide enough for a lorry, so a collection can be the easier choice. Driveways are the norm in Flixton, Davyhulme and Woodsend, and no permit is needed for a skip on private land.

Trafford Park, the M60 and construction

Just across the M60, Trafford Park and the commercial district around the Trafford Centre continue to attract new business space and development. Parts of this area, and the land towards the Manchester Ship Canal, have an industrial past and may hold contaminated soil, which has to be tested and kept apart from ordinary muck away.

Under England’s Simpler Recycling rules, businesses in Urmston town centre and the surrounding trading estates must keep dry recyclables and food waste separate from general waste. Suitable bins are supplied by our licensed team, and a waste transfer note is issued with each collection.

Questions about services in Urmston

Can’t see your question? Call 0333 121 1056 or send us a message.

Is a Manchester City Council skip permit needed in Urmston?

No. Because Urmston is part of Trafford, it is Trafford Council that issues the permit for a skip on a public road, and the skip provider usually applies. No permit is required for a skip on private land or a driveway.

Which option suits a flat in Urmston town centre?

Where street space is short, a man-with-van collection tends to be the easiest answer. Nothing has to stand on the road: the crew loads straight from your door and removes the lot in a single visit.

Can contaminated soil from a site near Urmston be handled?

Yes – our contaminated soil disposal service handles it, fully licensed. The soil must be tested, correctly documented and taken to a suitable facility. Keep it apart from ordinary muck away, because mixing the two means the entire load has to be treated as contaminated.

Are Flixton and Davyhulme covered?

Yes. Subject to availability, we cover the whole of Urmston, Flixton, Davyhulme, Woodsend and Dumplington included. Send your postcode and request a quote. Please mention access problems, for example parked cars or a narrow drive.

“Sam was great! Very helpful answered all of my questions about size of skip I would need and managed to get the skip delivered quickly for me. I would highly recommend! Thank you!”
Deb Wat Homeowner
“Responsive company and easy to deal with. Cheerful people who did the collection. Would reccommend!”
Karen Telfer Surrey County Council
“I required disposal of some small hazardous items. I call around and enlisted the services of a two advertised waste removal business. It was a waste of time as neither could provide the required service. I can tell you what was not a wate of time; going to Waste Cloud. They were attentive and professional. They assessed the situation and the request and acted quickly, scheduling a pick up at site. Waste Cloud adheres to all Waste Regulations and produced the appropriate Waste Transfer Note for our records. They are now on the company books as a preferred supplier. If you want the job done to a high standard when others have or will fail; call on Waste Cloud to simply get the job done!”
Michael Cunningham Royal Society of Chemistry
“Asked for support from this company with very short notice after other national organisations were unable to assist. Their experience with the management of waste was exceptional and they followed all policy and regulation around waste management which was of massive importance to a company like ours. Quick Reliable and would recommend them to any organisation looking for any sort of waste removal.”
Mark Purvis from the Environment Agency.
“Good communication and efficient collection from 2 separate sites. The two men who collected the waste were professional and courteous—they arrived within the booked timeframe and assisted with the heavier items.

Liz Doyle Facilities Manager, Historic Premises Team at The Royal Pavilion & Museums Trust.
