Be aware that skip hire may require a skip hire permit which will cost money and takes time to organize.
When hiring a skip there are usually four sizes of skip available; Mini, midi, builders and large.
Builders Skips: Suitable for domestic or business. The most popular type of skip.
Never fill a skip with waste materials that could present a potential fire hazard or cause an explosion. Also, materials that could release toxic fumes, pose a health or environmental hazard should not be thrown into a skip.
Your local council will be able to provide you with information on the placing of skips and permits.
Try to think realistically about what needs to thrown away. Two small skips will cost more to hire than a large one.
Large Skips: Suitable for domestic or business use. Ideal for big bulky items.
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.

If you need to hire a skip, contact your local council, they may have a list of approved skip hire companies.
