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.

For safety reasons it’s always safer to place skips on the road instead of the pavement.

Never overload your skip, make sure it’s emptied once it’s filled up.

When it’s dark or visibility is poor because of fog or mist, place reflective cones or flashing marker lights around the skip.

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.

If you’re skip needs to be placed on the pavement or road, then it’s the up to the skip hire company to make sure they have a valid licence or permit for 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.

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.

Midi Skips: Small, convenient and suitable for small low volume waste projects.
