Be aware that skip hire may require a skip hire permit which will cost money and takes time to organize.
Your local council will be able to provide you with information on the placing of skips and permits.
Normally a skip permit is valid for a month after which can be renewed.
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 hiring a skip there are usually four sizes of skip available; Mini, midi, builders and large.
Large Skips: Suitable for domestic or business use. Ideal for big bulky items.
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: 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.
Large Skips: Capacity, 12-14 cu yards or 9.2 - 10.7 cu meters. Height, 5'3” or 1.6 meters. Length, 13'8” or 4.2 meters. Width 6’ or 1.84 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.
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
