Try to think realistically about what needs to thrown away. Two small skips will cost more to hire than a large one.
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.
Normally a skip permit is valid for a month after which can be renewed.
It’s probable that you won’t need a permit if your skip is placed completely on private land.
Mini Skips: Capacity, 1-2 cu yards or 0.75-1.5 cu meters. Height, 2'6” or 0.76 meters. Length, 5' or 1.52 meters. Width 4' or 1.22 meters.
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.
Be aware that skip hire may require a skip hire permit which will cost money and takes time to organize.
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.
When hiring a skip there are usually four sizes of skip available; Mini, midi, builders and large.
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.
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
