The phrase builders skip can refer to two sizes – the 6 yard and 8 yd skip. The name comes from the fact that these are the most popular sizes hired by builders and tradespeople.

These substantial skips are ideal for numerous types of domestic and business projects. They are the largest skips that can be used for heavy builders waste like soil, stone and gravel.

If your skip is full and ready for collection, we will collect it and take it to a local waste transfer station, where it will be processed. The rubbish will get separated into a number of waste streams, which includes wood, metals and paper. This helps to ensure that as much of the collection is recycled as possible. Our company is very proud of our commitment to environmental protection by sending as little to landfill as possible!

Virtually all skip sizes can be supplied with a drop down door, which makes them easier to load. However, we cannot always guarantee this. If you want a skip with a drop-down door, please tell us when making your order, and we will do our best to accommodate.

Having a skip that has a drop-down door makes it easier to load rubbish into the container, particularly with heavy materials, such as dirt and bricks, which can be walked in with a wheelbarrow. This also makes it easier to load big and bulky items, like furniture.

The cost of getting a skip in Rothesay depends on the size of skip you need. The lowest priced skip available is the 2 cubic yard mini skip, which is ideal for small DIY projects and general clearances. If you require a larger sized skip, such as an 8 yard builders skip, it will naturally cost more. The price will also increase if you want to have a skip on the road, because you will need a permit, which the local authority charge a fee for.

You can normally keep a skip for up to two weeks from the date that it is delivered. To ensure the pick up is as convenient as possible, you will have the option of giving a preferred collection day when making your order.

Alternatively, simply let us know when you have finished loading up your skip, and we will arrange to pick up sooner – in the majority of circumstances, it will be the next working day.

It may take a bit longer to collect your skip during busy periods, however we will always endeavour to be there as swiftly as possible.

When you have a small amount of rubbish to throw out, the mini skip might be the perfect option. What size is referred to as a mini skip differs from company to company, dependant upon what sizes they provide.

2 cubic yards is the most popular size for the mini skip. However, some companies choose to provide a 3 yard skip as their smallest option. Price depends on the specific size you hire, instead of the phrase “mini skip”.

Mini skips are good for domestic jobs such as modest DIY projects and garage clean ups. If you want it put on your driveway and need room to park your car, the mini skip’s small footprint makes them a great choice.

A skip can be hired to get rid of a variety of types of waste. We are experienced in collecting and processing lots of items produced from construction jobs, garden landscaping and home clean-ups. Some examples of allowed waste products include things like:

• Pieces of furniture
• Garden cuttings
• Top soil
• Bricks and rubble
• Bathroom sinks and toilets
• Kitchen cabinets and units

The majority of materials are usually permitted, so whether you want to dispose of furniture, plastics, timber or unwanted toys, we can usually take your waste away.

The quantity and things you throw in the skip can vary based on which size skip you chosen. Skips do have a weight limit for safety purposes. So if you need to dispose of garden soil and hardcore, for example, the largest size you would be permitted to hire will be the 8 yard skip.

Are there items which I can’t throw in the skip?

There are some waste items which you will not be allowed to get rid of in your skip. The reason for this is that these goods include hazardous elements that may be damaging to the environment. They could also be damaging to human health, therefore they must be disposed of separately under UK laws.

Examples of the goods that are restricted include:

• Paint cans
• Solvents Fridges
• Gas canisters
• Computer screens
• Batteries
• Tyres
• Chemicals
• Asbestos
• Plasterboard

We offer a national skip hire and waste management service by using a network of approved and fully licensed local companies. So whether you would like skip hire in Rothesay, Dunoon, Inveraray, Lochgilphead or any other site in Argyll and Bute, we can assist.

It is essential to never overload the skip. You should not pass the level load line indicated along the side of the skip. If the skip is overfilled, it can be very dangerous to transport. This means that if you overfill your skip, you might be required to remove the surplus waste. No matter how secure you think the skip to be, it can not be picked up if overloaded. This includes making use of doors or other large flat pieces to build up around the rubbish. This can be hazardous and is not allowed.

The RORO (roll-on roll-off) is a huge container that can be used to dispose of significant volumes of waste materials. In most cases, these containers are used for business applications. However, domestic customers may also order them. You should look at the area they will occupy, because they measure between 20 and 40 cubic yards. For this reason, they must only be hired for lightweight materials such as plastics, timber and cardboard, and are not appropriate for the removal of dirt and stone.

Unfortunately this is not allowed, since electronic items including old televisions, fridge freezers, computers and computer monitors are classified as hazardous waste materials. Due to The Waste Electric and Electronic Equipment (WEEE) Regulations 2013, electrical items must be kept separate so that they can be recycled and disposed of in a safe and eco friendly manner.

Skips are available in a wide range of different sizes to suit different waste disposal needs. They are measured by volume, normally in cubic yards. The smallest of these sizes is the 2 yard skip, often referred to as the mini skip. It will hold roughly 25 bin bags of waste, which is good for small domestic jobs.

The next size up is the 4 yard skip, which will hold roughly 35 bin bags of rubbish. This skip is roughly the size of a smallish car and is often referred to as a midi skip. The 4 yard is a good choice for attic clearances and household refurbishment jobs.

Should you have a more significant waste disposal job to undertake, the builder’s skip could be the most suitable option. These can be ordered in both 6 and 8 cubic yards. As the name suggests, these are the most frequent sizes ordered by builders for building waste, like clay and hardcore. But they can equally well be used for domestic rubbish such as broken furniture or kitchen units.

We also provide 10-16 yard bins and industrial 20-40 cubic yard RORO containers. For additional information about the range of skip sizes we have available, click on the link below.

Guide to skip sizes

This will depend on where the skip is going to be located. You will only need to have a permit if it is placed on public property, such as a street, pavement or grass verge. You will not require a permit when your skip is on private property, such as a driveway or inside your business premises.

Should you have to get a permit, we will organise this on your behalf as part of the service. Just let us know as part of the order process, and we will make the required arrangements with the local council. They do charge a fee for this, so if you can have your skip on private property, it will save you some pounds.

When you are getting a skip delivered to your home, it is always best to be in on the day the skip is delivered. Then you can ensure that the lorry has full access and that the skip will be positioned precisely where you need it. The same is applicable when you have a skip delivered to company premises, particularly if gates restrict access.

On the other hand, when this isn’t achievable, you do not have to worry. Simply let us know when making your order, and we will take care of everything.

This is the easy part. First, pick the size of skip you wish to hire. Let us know whether the skip will be going on private property (a driveway, for example) or on public property (like the road). After that, pick the day you need the skip to get delivered. Confirm your order and make payment using our secure online payment platform. All done! We will deliver your skip to Rothesay on the day you have selected.
