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