Builders Skips: Suitable for domestic or business. The most popular type of skip.
Midi 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.
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.
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.
Be aware that skip hire may require a skip hire permit which will cost money and takes time to organize.
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.
Normally a skip permit is valid for a month after which can be renewed.
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.
It’s probable that you won’t need a permit if your skip is placed completely on private land.
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
