Mini Skip Hire in Kommetjie: 2m³ Skips From R900
Sand is the one thing to plan around with skip hire in Kommetjie, where Darwin Skip Hire's 2m³ mini skip costs from R900 all-in for 3 days on site. Delivery, collection and disposal are in that price, and a WhatsApp or call to 064 582 1436 books the drop-off for the same week, with the skip on a paved or compacted gravel driveway.

Kommetjie is a village on the Atlantic side of the peninsula, reached along Kommetjie Road, with Slangkop Lighthouse at one end and Long Beach at the other. Many plots are sandy, gardens carry milkwoods and fynbos, and the houses are a mix of family homes and holiday places near the beach. Soft sand, wind and baboons all shape how a skip job goes here.
Firm ground first: skip placement in Kommetjie
A paved or compacted gravel driveway is where the skip goes. It is private property, so no City permit is needed, and it gives the skip and the truck a firm base. Soft sand is the problem: when the only open space is a sandy yard, tell us when you book so we can check whether the skip can be set down there safely.
The village roads are quiet, but the verge still counts as part of the public road. A skip there, or on the street, needs the City's prior written permission through a Temporary Use (of the road reserve) application to the Roads Infrastructure Management district office. The admin fee is R712 (2026/27 tariff), and the City can ask for a refundable deposit.
- Choose paving, tar or compacted gravel over loose sand.
- Tell us about low branches over the driveway rather than cutting them back.
- Move boats, trailers and cars off the spot before delivery day.
- Keep footpaths to the beach open for walkers.
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.
Getting the truck to Kommetjie: sand, wind and baboons
The truck comes in on Kommetjie Road, past Imhoff Farm, and the village streets beyond are quiet outside summer weekends. When sand has drifted across your road or driveway, or the last stretch to your gate is unpaved, mention it when you book so it is known before delivery.
In summer the south-easter blows hard across the peninsula. Load cardboard and light garden cuttings first, then weigh them down with rubble. Baboons are seen in and around the village, so keep food scraps out of the skip and bury fruit-bearing cuttings under heavier material, following the City's baboon guidance.

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 Kommetjie
Can the skip be set down on sand in Kommetjie?
No, not on loose sand: in Kommetjie the skip and the truck need firm ground to be set down safely. A paved or compacted gravel driveway works. When your plot is mostly sand, say so when you book and send a photo of the spot by WhatsApp to 064 582 1436. A firm patch close to the gate is often the answer.
Can Port Jackson and rooikrans cuttings go in the skip?
Yes, Port Jackson and rooikrans cuttings can go in the skip, as alien clearing counts as garden refuse, which the mini skip takes. Cut stems and branches short and pack them tightly, because loosely thrown brush is bulky, fills the 2m³ skip with air and must not stick up above the rim. Put any soil or rubble from the same job on top to hold the load down in the wind.
We're only at our Kommetjie holiday house for a few days. Will 3 days be enough?
Yes, 3 days will be enough for a focused clear-out at your Kommetjie holiday house, and the R900 price includes them. For longer, ask when you book; longer hire is available on request. Delivery is booked for the same week you contact us, so get in touch early in the week of your visit.
