Skip Bin

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

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.

Builders Skips: Suitable for domestic or business. The most popular type of skip.

For safety reasons it’s always safer to place skips on the road instead of the pavement.

It’s probable that you won’t need a permit if your skip is placed completely on private land.

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.

Your local council will be able to provide you with information on the placing of skips and permits.

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.

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

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.
