Skip Hire Rates

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.

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.

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.

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 overload your skip, make sure it’s emptied once it’s filled up.

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.

Large Skips: Suitable for domestic or business use. Ideal for big bulky items.
