Builders Skips: Suitable for domestic or business. The most popular type of 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.
When it’s dark or visibility is poor because of fog or mist, place reflective cones or flashing marker lights around the 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.
It’s probable that you won’t need a permit if your skip is placed completely on private land.
Normally a skip permit is valid for a month after which can be renewed.
Mini 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.
Builders Skips: Capacity, 6-8 cu yards or 4.6 - 6.1 cu meters. Height, 4' or 1.22 meters. Length, 12' or 3.66 meters. Width 5'6” or 1.68 meters.
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
