Builders Skips: Suitable for domestic or business. The most popular type of skip.
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.
Never overload your skip, make sure it’s emptied once it’s filled up.
If you’re skip needs to be placed on the pavement or road, then it’s the up to the skip hire company to make sure they have a valid licence or permit for the skip.
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.
When hiring a skip there are usually four sizes of skip available; Mini, midi, builders and large.
