EFR Skips was founded in Wakefield in 2017 and our Denby Dale Road site has been our operational headquarters ever since. The depot sits on the southern edge of WF1, a short drive from the M1 (junction 39) and the A636 — which means our trucks can be on most Wakefield streets within 20 minutes of leaving the yard.
From here we run the full fleet that serves the entire WF postcode district: 2-yard mini skips for bathroom refits in Lupset and Sandal, 4 and 8-yard skips for kitchen rebuilds and house clearances in Newton Hill, Outwood and Wrenthorpe, and 16-yard jumbo skips for the larger projects in Stanley, Crofton and Ossett. The Wakefield team also handles the whole-district waste sorting, where over 90% of what comes in is recycled rather than landfilled.
Customers in Wakefield often deal directly with our office team — Sam, who handles most bookings, knows the WF1 city centre permit zones and the access constraints for the older streets in Thornes and Walton, so we can flag potential issues before delivery rather than after.
Our Wakefield depot serves every WF postcode district from the city centre out to Pontefract, Featherstone and Ossett. Below is a breakdown of the neighbourhoods in each area we deliver to.

Wakefield Council's permit zones around Westgate, the cathedral and Bull Ring have specific rules about skip placement and lighting. We've handled them for 8+ years.
The Wakefield office team handles bookings personally — no call centres. Sam and the team know the local roads, the tricky access streets, and which estates need permit applications.
All waste collected from Wakefield is processed at our local recycling facility. Over 90% is sorted and recycled — cardboard, glass, metal, plastic and timber recovered for reuse.
“What an excellent company! Needed a 8yd skip and I phoned Sam in the EFR Wakefield office who dealt with the booking so positively. He arranged the delivery really quickly and the whole process was made seamless.”

Local-specific answers to the questions our Wakefield office hears most often.
Our Wakefield headquarters is at Raines House on Denby Dale Road, WF1 1HR — just south of the city centre and a few minutes from junction 39 of the M1. It's the central hub for our entire fleet, which is why we can offer same-day delivery to most WF postcodes when slots are available. Phone the depot directly on 01924 637777 during opening hours.
Yes — if your skip will sit on a public road, footpath or grass verge anywhere in WF1, you need a Wakefield Council skip licence. We arrange this on your behalf for £40 (the council's initial 2-week fee). If your driveway, yard or front garden in Sandal, Lupset or Newton Hill is large enough for the skip and the lorry to access it, no permit is needed — and there's nothing to pay beyond the standard hire price.
Most WF postcodes get next working day delivery as standard, and same-day slots are usually available if you book before midday. Because our HQ is in Wakefield itself, response times here are the fastest of any of our service areas. For urgent jobs in WF1, WF2 or WF3, call the depot directly on 01924 637777 and we'll do everything we can to fit you in.
Yes — we deliver across WF7 (Featherstone, Ackworth, Streethouse) and WF8 (Pontefract, Darrington) as part of our standard Wakefield district coverage. Pricing is slightly higher than central Wakefield because of the distance from our depot, but we offer the same skip range, same-day delivery where available, and the same 7-day standard hire period.
