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.
Midi Skips: Small, convenient and suitable for small low volume waste projects.
Large Skips: Suitable for domestic or business use. Ideal for big bulky items.
When hiring a skip there are usually four sizes of skip available; Mini, midi, builders and large.
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.
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.
It’s probable that you won’t need a permit if your skip is placed completely on private land.
Try to think realistically about what needs to thrown away. Two small skips will cost more to hire than a large one.
If you need to hire a skip, contact your local council, they may have a list of approved skip hire companies.
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.
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
