Constantia is a valley of big plots, horse paddocks, greenbelts and wine farms such as Groot Constantia and Klein Constantia, threaded with oak-lined lanes off Constantia Main Road and Spaanschemat River Road. There is room to work with, but long gravel driveways, soft paddocks and large trees shape how a skip job runs here.
Finding the right spot on a Constantia plot
With a large property, the temptation is to put the skip right at the back where the work is. Stick to a firm, level surface the truck can drive onto and reverse off: a compacted gravel drive or a paved turning area works, a lawn or paddock after rain does not.
Anywhere inside your boundary needs no City permit. Constantia homes almost always have the room, so there is seldom any reason to use the verge, which would need the City's prior written permission.
- Pick hard standing, not soft lawn or a paddock.
- Check the drive for low oak branches the truck must pass under.
- In a security estate, clear the delivery with the gatehouse first.
- Cut alien branches into lengths that lie flat.
Driveway or road: the City rule
A skip on your own driveway, yard or paving needs no City permit. A skip on a public road, pavement or verge needs the prior written permission of the City of Cape Town, according to the City's Streets, Public Places and Prevention of Noise Nuisances By-law, 2007, section 10, which counts the verge as part of the road.
The application is a Temporary Use (of the road reserve) form, handed in at the Roads Infrastructure Management district office. The admin fee is R712 for 2026/27, and the City can ask for a refundable deposit. There is no online application.
Oak lanes and long drives in Constantia
Many Constantia lanes are narrow, with walls or hedges right up to the tar and old oaks meeting overhead. That suits a car but is worth thinking about for a truck carrying a skip, so tell us about tight corners, a sharp turn into your gate or a long uphill drive. Constantia Main Road and the routes up towards Constantia Nek are busy at school times, and wine-farm traffic picks up on summer weekends.
Typical Constantia skip hire loads
- Alien and pine clearingCut pine, gum or wattle branches and the needles beneath them. Loose brush is bulky and fills a 2m³ skip with air, so pack it hard.
- Stable yard tidy-upBroken fencing rails, old feed bins and general rubbish from a paddock or tack room. Oil drums and chemicals stay out.
- Pool resurfacingChipped marbelite, coping stones and old tiles from redoing a pool and its surround.
- Garden cottage upgradeTiles, plaster, an old basin and a kitchen strip-out from renovating a flatlet on the property.
Loads the skip can't take
- Asbestos (a registered asbestos contractor removes it)
- Paint, solvents, oil and other chemicals
- Liquids
- Gas cylinders
- Tyres and batteries
- Medical waste and e-waste
Heavy or green loads
Brick, concrete and tile rubble is heavy: fill to the rim and check before loading pure soil. Branches go in cut to length and laid flat.

WhatsApp or call 064 582 1436 with the street, the load and the week. Darwin Skip Hire confirms the R900 all-in price and a delivery day.
The 2m³ skip arrives
The skip-loader truck sets the skip down on the spot you choose, normally a driveway or yard. A spot on the road or verge needs the City's written permission first.
Fill it, then collection
You get 3 days to load it to the rim. Collection and licensed disposal are in the price for rubble, garden and household waste.
Good to know before you book in Constantia
Can I fill a Constantia skip with tree branches only?
Yes, you can fill a Constantia skip with tree branches only, as garden refuse is one of the loads it suits. Branches trap air, so cut them short, lay them flat and stamp the brush down as you go to get the most into 2m³. Keep the load level with the rim: an overfilled skip cannot be lifted and carried safely, and branches sticking up are the usual culprit.
Will the truck manage my gravel driveway?
Yes, the truck will usually manage your gravel driveway when the gravel is compacted and the drive is neither too steep nor too soft. Problems start with loose sand, wet lawn edges and tight turns at the top of a long drive. Send Johannes a photo of the route on WhatsApp when you book, and we can agree on a spot the truck can reach and leave cleanly.
My Constantia project runs for weeks. Can the skip stay longer?
Yes, the skip can stay longer: the price from R900 includes 3 days on site, and longer hire is available on request, so mention your timeline when you book. On a big property it can make more sense to book a fresh skip for each stage, such as alien clearing first and building rubble later, than to keep one skip waiting half full.
