Mini Skips: Capacity, 1-2 cu yards or 0.75-1.5 cu meters. Height, 2'6” or 0.76 meters. Length, 5' or 1.52 meters. Width 4' or 1.22 meters.
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.
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.
Mini Skips: Small, convenient and suitable for small low volume waste projects.
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.
Be aware that skip hire may require a skip hire permit which will cost money and takes time to organize.
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.
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.
For safety reasons it’s always safer to place skips on the road instead of the pavement.
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
