With a commitment to delivering reliable and efficient solutions for both residential and commercial projects, we are your go-to company for all your waste management and landscaping needs.
Whether you’re undertaking a home renovation, garden clearance, or a large construction project, our skip hire services are designed to make waste disposal easy and convenient. We offer a range of skip sizes to suit projects of any scale, from small domestic jobs to larger commercial tasks. Our skips are delivered promptly and collected at your convenience, ensuring that your site remains clean and organised throughout the duration of your project.
For projects where space is limited or where large volumes of waste need to be removed quickly, our grab hire service is the perfect solution. Our modern grab lorries can access hard-to-reach areas, making waste removal efficient and hassle-free. Whether you need to clear soil, rubble, or general waste, our grab hire service is a cost-effective alternative to traditional skip hire.
Tonnes Away Ltd is also your trusted supplier of top-quality soil and aggregates in Chipping Norton. Whether you’re preparing a new lawn, laying a driveway, or undertaking a full landscaping project, we provide the materials you need to ensure a professional finish.
Chipping Norton sits high on a ridge, and plenty of gardens and building plots around the town slope away, step down in levels or sit behind stone walls. That can make a skip awkward to place and slow to fill by wheelbarrow. A grab lorry gets round both problems.
The lorry pulls up, the operator swings the hydraulic arm over the wall or fence, and the grab bucket lifts the waste straight from where it lies. Large volumes go in one visit, and nothing is left standing on the road or the drive once the lorry has gone.
A grab lorry is usually the better choice than a skip when:
For smaller amounts that build up over a few weeks, such as a room being stripped out bit by bit, a skip is often easier. We are happy to talk through which suits your job when you call.
Extensions, new footings, garden levelling and driveway digs all leave the same thing behind: a heap of soil and spoil that has to go somewhere. Our muck away service clears it, loading by grab lorry and taking it for sorting at licensed facilities, with as much as possible recycled.
Muck away works best when the ground has been dug and stockpiled in one spot that the lorry can reach. If the dig is happening in stages, tell us and we can plan a one-off collection or regular visits to suit the work. You can read more about how it works on our muck away page.
Crushed concrete is old concrete that has been broken down and recycled into a hard, compact material. It makes a firm base under paths, patios, driveways and hardstanding, and it puts old material back to use rather than sending it to landfill.
Many homes around Chipping Norton have long gravel drives, farm tracks or yards that need a solid layer underneath before the top finish goes down. Crushed concrete is a sensible choice for that layer. We deliver it as well as gravel, sand and crushed stone, so the whole job can come from one supplier. See our aggregates page for the full range.
Chipping Norton is a Cotswold town itself, built largely in the local limestone, and the villages around it share the same dry stone walls, narrow lanes and tight village streets. Those are the places where a skip is often hardest to fit and a grab lorry really earns its keep.
Because the arm reaches over a wall, there is no need to take down a stretch of stonework or carry rubble through the house. Our grab hire runs across the Cotswolds as well as in the town, and our Cotswolds page covers skips and materials for the wider area. We also work in Witney and the surrounding areas.
The town stands where the A44 and the A361 cross, about 18 miles from Oxford. With main roads running out in four directions, planning deliveries and collections from our base in the town is straightforward.
Being one of the highest towns in Oxfordshire also means some streets and drives climb steeply. It helps to tell us about slopes, gates, overhead cables or low branches when you book, so the right lorry turns up and the job goes smoothly.
If the soil is already dug and piled up, a grab lorry is usually quicker, as it loads the lot in one visit and leaves nothing on site. If you are digging over several days and want somewhere to put the soil as you go, a skip may suit better. Tell us the size of the job and we will help you choose.
Yes. We supply aggregates, top soil and crushed concrete as well as removing waste, so one call can cover the old soil going out and the new materials coming in. Landscaping and driveway jobs often need both.
Our grab lorries take soil, rubble, concrete, green waste and general rubbish. Everything collected is sorted and processed at licensed facilities and recycled where possible. If you are not sure whether something can go, ask us before the day.
