Builders Skips: Suitable for domestic or business. The most popular type of 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.
Your local council will be able to provide you with information on the placing of skips and permits.
Large Skips: Suitable for domestic or business use. Ideal for big bulky items.
Never overload your skip, make sure it’s emptied once it’s filled up.
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.
If you need to hire a skip, contact your local council, they may have a list of approved skip hire companies.
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.
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.
Normally a skip permit is valid for a month after which can be renewed.
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
