The term builders skip can refer to two sizes – the 6 yard and the 8 cubic yard skip. The term originates from the fact that they are the most popular sizes that are used by builders and tradespeople.

These large skips are great for an array of residential and business jobs. They are the biggest skip sizes that you can use for hefty builders waste including dirt, stone and bricks.

A roll-on roll-off skip, often referred to as a RORO, is a substantial skip that is used to dispose of large volumes of rubbish. These skips are primarily for industrial use but can be hired by domestic customers too. Having said that, you will want lots of space because these skips range between 20 to 40 cubic yards, which are much bigger compared to the typical skip you will see on a neighbour’s driveway.

As a result of the size, these containers can only be used for light materials like plastics, wood and paper, and so they are not suited to getting rid of concrete and bricks.

We will ask you to confirm when you need your skip to be delivered during the online order process, and we’ll make sure that it’s with you on the date that you’ve asked for. The vast majority of our deliveries are made between Monday and Saturday.

When you complete your booking prior to 3pm on Monday to Friday, we will typically have the skip delivered to you the following day.

Although we can’t promise what time we will arrive, we strive to offer you a morning or afternoon delivery slot to manage your day more easily.

All we ask is that you ensure the delivery driver can access your required delivery area, as failed delivery attempts can result in a fee for a wasted journey.

Skips are offered in a selection of different sizes to match different waste disposal requirements. They are measured by volume, usually in cubic yards. The smallest of these sizes is the 2 cubic yard skip, also known as the mini skip. It can hold approximately 25 bags of waste, which is great for small household projects.

The next size up is the 4 cubic yard skip, which can hold roughly 35 black bags of waste. This skip is roughly the size of a smallish car and is sometimes called a midi skip. The 4 yarder is a good option for loft clearances and home refurbishment jobs.

For those who have a more significant waste disposal job to sort out, a builder’s skip might be the best option. These come in both 6 and 8 cubic yards. As the label indicates, they are the most frequent sizes hired by builders for building waste, like clay and hardcore. But they can equally well be used for household rubbish such as old furniture or kitchen units.

We also provide 10-16 cubic yard skips and industrial 20-40 cubic yard roll-on roll-off containers. For more info on all the different skip sizes we have available, please click the link below.

Guide to skip sizes

Normally, it is possible to have the skip positioned on the road, pavement or grass verge outside of your home or company. But to get this done, you must get approval from your local authority in Erskine, which is called a skip permit. We are able to arrange this for you, so you don’t have to worry. The local authority do charge a fee for your license, and it can sometimes take up to 24-48 hours for them to authorise this.

If you are looking for a cheap skip to dispose of some domestic waste, a mini skip could be just the thing you need. With a choice of either a 2 or 3 yard capacity (depending on area), the mini skip is a cost-effective rubbish disposal choice to handle numerous tasks.

A mini skip can fit on the smallest of drives but can also be placed on the side of the road, subject to obtaining a skip permit.

Although most often hired by household customers, the mini skip can even handle small commercial jobs.

Before hiring your skip, it is important to ensure that the type of rubbish you need to get rid of is allowed to go in the skip. Some products and materials must be kept separate and can’t be mixed with general waste. This is a legal requirement which aims to help protect the environment.

Some examples of waste types you may discard in your skip include home items like pieces of furniture, floor tiles, kitchen cabinets, garden waste and clothing. You can also use a skip to dispose of building and demolition rubbish, such as wood, soil, rubble, metals and concrete.

Some examples of prohibited items include things like electrical products, car tyres, old paint, chemical substances, batteries and plasterboard. They are all considered hazardous waste materials and subsequently have to be discarded separately from your general waste.

Whenever your skip is full and ready for collection, we will pick it up and transport it to a local waste transfer station, where it will be processed. The waste will get sorted into a range of waste streams, including wood, soil and plastics. This helps to ensure as much of the collection is recycled as possible. Our company is very proud of our dedication to environmental protection by sending as little waste to landfill as possible!

As well as delivering our range of skips to Erskine, we can also deliver to other towns and villages within Renfrewshire. By utilising a network of local and national skip hire businesses, we offer a truly nationwide service. So whether you need a skip delivering to a house or business in Erskine, Gourock or Johnstone, we have got you covered.

For anybody who is getting a builder’s skip, the likelihood is that it will include a drop-down door. This is ideal for disposing of heavy building and construction rubbish, as it can be pushed into the skip by using a wheelbarrow.

Some mini skips and 4 yarders also have a drop door, although they are more uncommon. This is because these sizes are generally low enough on the ends to be able to tip a wheelbarrow of waste into them.

If you want a drop door for your job, tell us when placing your order. We will do our utmost to ensure a skip which has a drop door is delivered.

You don’t need to be at your property when your skip will be delivered, but it can help. Being home when your skip is due to be delivered means that you can ensure the lorry is given full access and that your skip can be positioned precisely where you want it. Likewise, if the skip is being hired to your business property, we will appreciate your support during delivery, particularly if gates will restrict the lorry’s entry.

However, in the event you can’t be available for the delivery, you don’t need to worry. We just ask you to let us know when you place your order, and we will arrange everything from there.

A local skip firm will likely deliver your skip in Erskine. We employ a network of both local and nationwide businesses to enable us to offer our service to businesses and households across the whole of the UK. These companies are vetted to make sure they satisfy the high expectations we demand in terms of customer service, price and environmental performance.

Make sure you don’t overfill your skip as this will make it dangerous to move, and you will probably have to remove any rubbish higher than the level load line. This means that you can not use sheets of timber, doors or some other object, since this will increase the size of the skip. We have a legal duty of care to make sure that skips are not overloaded or overweight before transporting them.

Please be sure you hire the appropriate sized skip for your needs and get in touch if you’re uncertain which size you require. We would be glad to help.

I’m afraid it is not permitted, since electronic items such as old TVs, freezers, pcs and monitors are classed as hazardous waste materials. Due to The Waste Electric and Electronic Equipment (WEEE) Regulations 2013, these items need to be kept separate for them to be recycled and disposed of in a secure and environmentally friendly way.

You can in most cases keep your skip for as many as two weeks from the date of delivery. It is possible to give a chosen collection date when you confirm your order. Alternatively, you can tell us once you have loaded the skip, and we will prepare your collection. In most cases, this will be the following working day, although it can sometimes take a bit longer during hectic periods.

The cost of hiring a skip in Erskine is determined by the size of skip you want. The cheapest skip available will be the 2 cubic yard mini skip, which is perfect for small DIY projects and clearances. If you require a larger sized skip, such as an 8 yd builder’s skip, it will naturally cost a bit more. The price will also be more if you need to have a skip positioned on the road, as you will require a permit, which the council charge a fee for.
