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.
Normally a skip permit is valid for a month after which can be renewed.
Builders Skips: Suitable for domestic or business. The most popular type of skip.
Mini Skips: Small, convenient and suitable for small low volume waste projects.
When it’s dark or visibility is poor because of fog or mist, place reflective cones or flashing marker lights around the skip.
Large Skips: Suitable for domestic or business use. Ideal for big bulky items.
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.
For safety reasons it’s always safer to place skips on the road instead of the pavement.
Try to think realistically about what needs to thrown away. Two small skips will cost more to hire than a large one.
