Midi Skips: Small, convenient and suitable for small low volume waste projects.
Be aware that skip hire may require a skip hire permit which will cost money and takes time to organize.
It’s probable that you won’t need a permit if your skip is placed completely on private land.
Large Skips: Capacity, 12-14 cu yards or 9.2 - 10.7 cu meters. Height, 5'3” or 1.6 meters. Length, 13'8” or 4.2 meters. Width 6’ or 1.84 meters.
Your local council will be able to provide you with information on the placing of skips and permits.
Never fill a skip with waste materials that could present a potential fire hazard or cause an explosion. Also, materials that could release toxic fumes, pose a health or environmental hazard should not be thrown into a skip.
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.
Make sure that waste materials don’t stick out from the sides of the skip. This can pose a potential hazard for road users or pedestrians.
Normally a skip permit is valid for a month after which can be renewed.
Never overload your skip, make sure it’s emptied once it’s filled up.
When carrying out renovations or building works to your property, you may find that you need to hire a builder's skip to get rid of the rubble or rubbish. 4th November, 2006
