Skips come in a number of sizes to suit various waste disposal needs. Each container is measured by volume, normally in cubic yards. The smallest of which is the 2 yard skip, also known as the mini skip. It can hold roughly 25 bin bags of waste, which is ideal for small domestic jobs.

Next up is the 4 yard skip, which will hold around 35 black bags of waste. This skip is roughly the dimensions of a smallish car and is often described as a midi skip. The 4 yard is an excellent choice for shed clearances and home refurbishment jobs.

For those who have a more substantial waste disposal task to deal with, the builder’s skip could be the best option. These come in both 6 and 8 cubic yards. As the label suggests, these represent the most typical sizes used by builders for building and demolition waste, like soil and hardcore. However they can just as well be hired for domestic rubbish such as old furniture or bathroom suites.

We also deliver 10-16 yard skips and commercial 20-40 cubic yard RORO containers. For additional details about all the different skip sizes we have available, click on the link below.

The roll-on roll-off skip (RORO) is a substantial container used to transport large quantities of waste materials. Predominantly, these skips are used for business uses. Having said that, domestic clients can also use them. It is essential to look at the space they will take up, because they measure between 20 and 40 cubic yards. Because of this, they must only be hired for light materials such as plastics, timber and cardboard, and are not appropriate for the removal of soil and concrete.

No, you can not throw old or unwanted electronic waste products in a skip. This can include things such as computers, hobs, washing machines, freezers and tv sets. Electronic products can’t be discarded in a skip since they can contain hazardous materials and components.
