The term builder’s skip can refer to two sizes – the 6 cubic yard and the 8 yd skip. The name comes from the fact that they are the most popular sizes that are used by general builders and tradespeople.

These substantial skips are fantastic for numerous types of domestic and commercial tasks. These are the largest skip sizes which can be used for hefty builders waste such as garden soil, stone and gravel.

For anybody who is hiring a builder’s skip, the likelihood is that it will include a drop down door. This is great for disposing of hefty building and construction waste, as it can be pushed in to the skip using a wheelbarrow.

Some mini skips and 4 yarders also have a drop-down door, however these are typically more uncommon. Simply because these sizes are generally small enough on the ends to be able to tip a wheelbarrow of waste into them.

If you require a drop door for your job, please tell us when placing your order. We will do our utmost to make sure a skip that has a drop door is supplied.

Electric powered products including televisions, freezers, refrigerators, laptops or computers, monitors and hoovers are all classed as a hazardous waste stream and therefore cannot be thrown in your skip. The Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WEEE) Regulations 2013 requires that electronic products should be separated from other rubbish. This helps ensure that they can be reused, recycled and disposed of within the safest and most environmentally friendly manner.

Make sure you don’t overfill the skip as this will make it dangerous to transport, and you will probably have to empty any materials higher than the level load line. This means that you can not use sheets of timber, doors or any other object, as this will increase the size of the skip. Skip companies have a legal duty of care to ensure that bins are not overfilled or overweight before moving them.

Prior to hiring a skip, it is essential to check that the kind of waste you wish to discard is actually allowed to go in the skip. Some items and materials need to be kept separate and are not allowed to get mixed with general waste. This is a legal requirement designed to help protect the environment.

Waste types you can put in a skip include household items like furniture, floor tiles, kitchen cabinets, garden waste and plastics. You can also use a skip to dispose of building and demolition waste, such as old bricks, dirt, stone, metals and concrete.

Some examples of prohibited items include things like electronic items, car tyres, old paint, chemical substances, batteries and plasterboard. They are all classed as hazardous waste and therefore must be disposed of separately from any general rubbish.

The materials in your skip will be taken to a nearby waste transfer station. Here the waste will be separated by machines and by hand into different waste materials, like metal, paper, concrete and timber. Processing the rubbish in this manner helps to increase the quantity which can be reused and recycled. Our goal and commitment is always to maximise recycling rates and minimise the amount of waste that ends up in landfill.

For those who have a small quantity of rubbish to get rid of, the mini skip might be the best choice. What size is identified as a mini skip differs from company to company, determined by what sizes they have.

The most popular size for a mini skip is 2 cubic yards. However, some firms opt to provide a 3 cubic yard container for their smallest option. The cost is based on the particular size you order, instead of the term “mini skip”.

Mini skips are good for household tasks such as small DIY projects and shed tidy ups. If you want it put on your driveway and want room to park your car, the mini skip’s small footprint makes them a great choice.

Normally, it is possible to have your skip put on the street, pavement or grass verge outside of your home or business. But to do this, you must get approval from your local council in Chorley, which is called a skip permit. We will organise this for you, so you don’t need to worry.
