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.
Normally a skip permit is valid for a month after which can be renewed.
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.
Be aware that skip hire may require a skip hire permit which will cost money and takes time to organize.
It’s probable that you won’t need a permit if your skip is placed completely on private land.
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.
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.
Mini Skips: Small, convenient and suitable for small low volume waste projects.
Never overload your skip, make sure it’s emptied once it’s filled up.
When hiring a skip there are usually four sizes of skip available; Mini, midi, builders and large.
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
