Privacy notice

This notice explains how Howard Skips Limited (“Howard Skip Hire”, “we”) uses personal information. We are the data controller. Last updated October 2026.

Who we are

Howard Skips Limited, registered in England and Wales, company number 06862521. Yard: 17–19 Mannings Heath Road, Poole, Dorset BH12 4NQ. Email info@howardskips.co.uk, phone 01202 740 381.

What we collect

• Details you give us in the quote or contact form, by phone or by email: your name, phone number, email address, delivery address and postcode, and details of the job.
• Booking and payment records when you hire a skip. Card payments are handled by our payment provider; we don’t keep full card numbers.
• Waste transfer paperwork, which the law requires us to complete for each skip we collect.

How we use it

• To reply to your enquiry and give you a quote (taking steps at your request before a contract).
• To deliver, collect and invoice your skip (performing our contract with you).
• To keep the waste and business records the law requires (legal obligation).

We don’t sell your information or use it for marketing without asking you first.

Who we share it with

Only the people who help us run the business: our email and website hosting providers, our payment provider, our accountants, and the licensed facilities that receive the waste we collect (where waste paperwork requires it). We may also share information if the law requires it.

How long we keep it

Enquiries that don’t turn into a booking are deleted within two years. Booking, invoice and waste records are kept for as long as the law requires, which is at least two years for waste transfer notes and six years for accounting records.
