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

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

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: 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.

Normally a skip permit is valid for a month after which can be renewed.

If you need to hire a skip, contact your local council, they may have a list of approved skip hire companies.

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.
