About Boswell's Skip Hire

Boswell's Skip Hire is a skip hire and waste management company based at Boswells Crossing Depot in Dunnington, York, North Yorkshire. The business has roots stretching back over 50 years, growing out of the Boswell Demolition company founded by Denis Boswell as a family-run operation. Boswell's Skip Hire serves both domestic and commercial customers, offering four skip sizes: small, medium, builders and jumbo. The company operates York's largest independent waste transfer station and holds a licensed waste carrier registration. Same-day delivery is available, and the team can arrange highway permits through York City Council on behalf of customers who need a skip placed on the public highway. A wait-and-load service is also offered, allowing a lorry to remain on site for up to 45 minutes while the skip is filled before taking it away without the need for a permit. The company is committed to responsible recycling, diverting cardboard, paper, plastics and wood from landfill as part of its environmental policy.
