We may look different, but we’re the same team,
delivering the care and attention you expect from us.
Penny’s Group has been providing skip hire services to domestic clients, small businesses, and contractors since 1960. We are now offering our services to Glastonbury and the wider Wiltshire area. Our variety of skips caters to projects of all sizes, and our professional team is ready to assist from start to finish. We offer skip sizes ranging from 6 yards, which can hold about 50 bin bags, up to 40 yards, which can hold up to 440 bin bags of waste. Our team has extensive local knowledge and provides excellent customer service to our community.
Larger skips are typically used for commercial purposes and require more space for manoeuvring. They are stored locally, allowing us to provide a quick turnaround in an environmentally friendly manner.
Penny’s is proud to support the community and is dedicated to meeting the needs of the local area. Our most popular options for domestic clients are 6yd, 8yd (builders skips), and 10yd skips, often used for garden waste, DIY waste, and other household recyclables.
We advise clients to evaluate the intended skip location and check accessibility to ensure safe storage without causing obstructions. Smaller skips can handle various waste types, including mixed, hardcore, and inert waste. Both open and enclosed skips are available.
