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.
Large Skips: Suitable for domestic or business use. Ideal for big bulky items.
Mini Skips: Small, convenient and suitable for small low volume waste projects.
When its dark or visibility is poor because of fog or mist, place reflective cones or flashing marker lights around the skip.
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.
For safety reasons its always safer to place skips on the road instead of the pavement.
