Bin Hire

Midi Skips: Capacity, 3-4 cu yards or 2.5 - 3.5 cu meters. Height, 3'2” or 0.97 meters. Length, 6' or 1.83 meters. Width 4'3” or 1.29 meters.

Your local council will be able to provide you with information on the placing of skips and permits.

Never overload your skip, make sure it’s emptied once it’s filled up.

Normally a skip permit is valid for a month after which can be renewed.

When hiring a skip there are usually four sizes of skip available; Mini, midi, builders and large.

Large Skips: Suitable for domestic or business use. Ideal for big bulky items.

Try to think realistically about what needs to thrown away. Two small skips will cost more to hire than a large one.

An enclosed skip is the safest available skip because it will stop contents falling out and prevent dust flying up when waste is put into the skip.

For safety reasons it’s always safer to place skips on the road instead of the pavement.

If your skip isn’t filled and its contents aren’t stable, cover with dampened or netting to prevent inside waste materials from blowing out.
