Hire Skips

Mini Skips: Small, convenient and suitable for small low volume waste projects.

If you do need to place a skip on the road or highway make sure the skip is placed in a position where it won’t become a danger to road users.

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.

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

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.

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

Midi Skips: Small, convenient and suitable for small low volume waste projects.

Usually the vehicle delivering the skip to your house will be a LGV and are normally very large. Make sure there is enough room to allow it in and out safely.

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.

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