Estate and tenant clearance skips in Polokwane.
Clearance work for letting agents, executors and body corporates has a different shape to a normal household job: the date is set by someone else, nobody knows exactly what is inside until the door opens, and a property often has to be handed over broom-clean. That means the sensible approach is a bin sized generously, booked for a firm delivery slot, with a plan for the items that cannot legally go in it.
What goes in
- Furniture, appliances and household contents
- Carpets, curtains and bedding
- Boxes, paperwork and general clutter
- Garden and garage contents
- Broken fittings and abandoned goods
What does not
- Fridges, freezers and air-conditioners with refrigerant gas
- Televisions, computers and other e-waste
- Paint, solvents, pool chemicals and garden poisons
- Firearms, ammunition and anything requiring a legal chain of custody
- Documents that must be securely destroyed rather than dumped
Sizing
Sizing a skip for estate / tenant clear-out work
Over-size rather than under-size. A clearance that runs out of skip on the day usually costs more in a second callout and a missed handover than the larger bin would have. Where you genuinely cannot see inside first, ask the operator what a swap costs so you have a fallback.
Builders skip
about 6–9 m³
Site rubble on an active build, multi-room renovation debris, larger household clearances and bulky garden loads.
Watch: Needs real truck access — length to reverse in and headroom to tip the bin off the back. Measure your gate before you book.
Maxi skip
about 10–12 m³
Whole-house clearances, shopfitting and office strip-outs, and light-but-bulky construction waste.
Watch: A poor choice for dense rubble — you will hit the weight allowance at a fraction of the volume and pay an overload charge for the privilege.
What to tell the operator
- 01The hard deadline for handover or transfer
- 02Whether anyone has been inside and can describe the contents
- 03Whether the property is furnished, part-furnished or hoarded
- 04Who holds keys and who will be on site to accept the delivery
- 05Whether documents need secure destruction rather than disposal
- 06Whether appliances and electronics need a separate collection

Estate and tenant clearance skips in Polokwane: questions
- Can I clear a property without the owner present?
- That depends on your legal standing, not on the skip. Executors, appointed agents and sheriffs act under authority; a landlord acting alone on a tenant's goods generally does not. Get the authority right before you book anything — a skip operator will not adjudicate it.
- How quickly can a skip get to a Polokwane property?
- That is the operator's call and depends on their fleet and where they are working that week — this site will not promise you a delivery time on their behalf. What helps is giving a firm address, an access description and a realistic window when you request the quote.
- What happens to items that still have value?
- Separate them before the skip is loaded. Once furniture and appliances are in a bin under other waste they are effectively gone. If the estate needs items valued or auctioned, that has to happen first.
- Is personal information a concern?
- Yes. Clearance properties are full of documents, and simply skipping bank statements and ID copies creates a real exposure. Bag paperwork separately and use a shredding or secure-destruction service for anything sensitive.
