5 best dumpster rentals in Malta for swift garbage collection
It can be quite a pain to deal with garbage, especially after construction. Once it all piles up, I find it impossible to wait for the next garbage truck to arrive and collect it.
Malta has a solution for this: dumpster rentals. These services offer temporary dumpsters for collecting waste or trash as needed. They can even replace your local garbage collector, and some even offer cleaning services.
With that in mind, I’ve gathered some of my top picks for dumpster rentals in Malta! These services are the best at getting garbage from one place to another in a stress-free, orderly fashion.
How much does a dumpster rental cost in Malta?
Dumpster rentals in Malta typically cost around €80 to €220 per dumpster. This price can vary based on the dumpster size, the type of waste collected, and the location of your dumpster.
1. Pullicin Skip Hire
Address: Pullicin Yard, Sqaq iz- Ziemel Handaq Ind. Estate, Qormi QRM 4003
Contact Details: +356 9947 7324
Operating Hours:
- Monday to Friday: 6:00 AM to 4:00 PM
- Saturday: 6:00 AM to 12:00 PM
Founded in 1997 by Carmel Pullicino, Pullicin Skip Hire offers a wide range of skips for short-term and long-term hiring. Impressively, their skips have been used by the Ministry for the Family and Social Care and the Water Services Corporation.
I like that their skips vary in size and use, with pricing depending on the types of waste they store. Depending on the type of waste, it’ll cost around €100 to €130 for a smaller skip and €230 to €320 for a larger one—quite a huge price jump, if you ask me.
Aside from these, Pullicin is a construction and demolition company at heart, offering excavators, tipper trucks, and wheel loaders. Clients have noted that these can handle projects ranging from small to large and are quite useful for the task at hand.
Aside from that, clients can hire their skip loader and hook loaders for a small fee.

2. WasteServ
Address: Triq Valletta, Ħal Luqa
Contact Details: +356 8007 2200
Operating Hours:
- Monday to Sunday: 7:30 AM to 5:30 PM
WasteServ was established in 2002 and has continued to grow since. Several clients have described their waste management services as second-to-none, with the capabilities to dispose of and recycle large quantities of materials.
They work closely with ECOHIVE, Malta’s eco-friendly waste-processing plant that uses sustainable practices to turn trash into energy and agricultural compost.
Their waste disposal services come in household and commercial options, with different skips for different types of waste, which I find to be top-notch.
It doesn’t stop there; they offer reliable disposal services for bulky waste, pharmaceutical waste, and even animal by-product waste.
I find that fees vary significantly by waste type, but a good estimate is a steep €500 per collection.
Clients also appreciate that collections occur Monday to Saturday, with the specific type of waste collected for that day indicated on the website. However, some didn’t have the same experience, having had difficulty with customised collection dates. We suggest calling ahead to confirm.
Clean and very well organised
“Clean area very well organised and informative people. Keep returning and disposing of items. Also have a suitable repurpose site if you do not wish to throw away your items but are still good.”

3. Salina Skips
Address: Triq In-Naxxar Serena Flats, Flt 2, San Ġwann
Contact Details: +356 9949 9856
Operating Hours:
- Monday to Friday: 7:00 AM to 4:00 PM
- Saturday: 7:00 AM to 12:00 PM
Available 7 days a week, Salina Skips offers prompt delivery and competitive prices that I simply adore. They work for long-term and short-term hires and have been providing their services for over 20 years.
Their skips specialise in collecting scrap metal and industrial waste, which I found to be best suited for those having renovations done. Aside from that, clients have used their services to dispose of bulky waste while following eco-friendly guidelines.
As for the types of skips they have, the options are expansive and specialised for each job. Most clients prefer the domestic skip, which can handle a wide range of household waste. Gardeners, on the other hand, like mini skips and open skips since they are far more portable.
Uniquely, they also have cranes that can reach 6 storeys high. Apartment residents have utilised these services for the disposal of substantial amounts of waste from heights of up to five storeys.
However, the types of waste they handle are very limited compared to competitors.
Excellent service

4. Magic Skip Hire
Address: St George’s Farm, Triq Tal-Hlas, Ħal Qormi
Contact Details: +356 7959 2036
Operating Hours:
- Open 24 hours
Magic Skip Hire has over 15 years of experience with skips. This reputable company focuses on heavy-duty skips for a wide range of clients and industries.
I found their skips useful for handling hospitality, commercial, and residential waste. Their range is amazing, with sizes ranging from 2½-yard skips to 40-yard skips, perfect for projects of all sizes.
Construction companies and homeowners have utilised their services for construction waste. However, when dealing with mixed waste, they do require you to contact them about the type beforehand.
Nonetheless, a unique offering is their rubble chutes, which effectively reduce dust in the area.
Clients can also avail their garbage collection services and Bobcat to effectively collect waste. When booking them, I prefer doing it on their website, as it’s much more straightforward than calling.
Excellent service
“Excellent service, couldn’t recommend Matthew enough! Thank you!”

5. Green Skip Services
Address: Naxxar
Contact Details: +356 2142 2010
Operating Hours:
- Monday to Thursday: 7:30 AM to 5:00 PM
- Friday: 7:30 AM to 4:00 PM
- Saturday: 7:30 AM to 12:00 PM
Established in 1992, Green Skip Services is a family-owned private liability company. Their services own a waste management facility, which is rare for dumpster rentals.
Astoundingly, their services focus on large-scale reclamation activities, such as the reuse and recycling of various items.
I was impressed to learn that they have won several awards in the past. Most notably, they received the Minister’s Award for Environmental Achievement, a highly sought-after award among competitors.
Their skips are great at waste collection and can even gather hazardous waste when needed. Additionally, they are one of the few services that collect electrical and clinical waste, a rare offering on the island that is appreciated by several sectors.
Aside from these, I appreciate the waste consultations and the indoor and outdoor bins they sell, which are perfect for homeowners starting out on the island. Some clients have even bought furniture and traffic management products for outdoor use, which they have used effectively on their driveways.
Yet again, their services are expensive, which I completely agree with due to their recycling capabilities.
