The roll-on roll-off skip (RORO) is a large container used to dispose of large amounts of waste materials. Generally, these skips are used for business purposes. However, household customers may also hire them. You should think about the space they will take up, because they measure between 20 – 40 cubic yards. Because of this, they should only be hired for light-weight waste including plastics, wood and cardboard, and are not appropriate for the disposal of soil and concrete.

Skips are offered in a wide range of different sizes to match various waste disposal requirements. Each container is measured by volume, typically in cubic yards. The smallest of which is the 2 yard skip, often referred to as the mini skip. It can hold approximately 25 bin bags of rubbish, which is good for small residential tasks.

Next up is the 4 cubic yard skip, which can be used to hold roughly 35 black bags of rubbish. This skip is roughly the dimensions of a small car and is often described as a midi skip. The 4 yard is a great option for shed clearances and domestic refurbishment jobs.

Should you have a more significant rubbish disposal job to take on, the builder’s skip could be the best option. These are available in both 6 and 8 cubic yards. As the name suggests, these are the most typical sizes hired by builders for construction waste, like soil and hardcore. However they can equally well be hired for domestic waste such as old furniture or kitchen units.

We also offer 10-16 cubic yard containers and commercial 20-40 yard roll-on roll-off containers. For additional information about the range of skip sizes we have available, please click the link below.

Guide to skip sizes

Generally, most skips can be provided with a drop down door, depending on skip size, availability and location. If you need a drop door, please tell us when ordering your skip.

Getting a skip which has a drop door is mainly useful if hiring a big builder’s skip, because it means that you can wheelbarrow rubbish into the skip. This is not as important for midi and mini skips, because they are low enough at the ends for you to be able to tip waste over the edge.

The mini skip is the most compact size offered and can describe either the 2 or 3 cubic yard skip. These compact containers are ideal for small DIY tasks and household clearances. Their small footprint means they are perfect for driveways.

They can be used to get rid of all types of waste, from household furnishings and old baby toys to paving slabs and rubble. Having a volume of about 25-30 bin bags of rubbish, the mini skip will save you needing to make numerous trips to the local recycling centre.

Please don’t overfill the skip as this will make it hazardous to move, and you will probably have to empty any rubbish above the level load line. This means that you can not use sheets of timber, doors or any other item, as this will artificially increase the height of the skip. Skip companies have a legal responsibility to ensure that skips aren’t overfilled or overweight before transporting them.

Please make sure that you choose the correct sized skip for your needs and get in touch if you are uncertain which size is best. We would be pleased to help.

This is one of the most popular questions people have about skip hire. What is important to remember is that you can fill your skip with a wide range of different materials. After all, there are numerous kinds of rubbish that could result from garden projects, building work and house clearances.

There are some items that you are not allowed to throw in the skip. This includes any electronic goods (fridges and freezers, monitors and washing machines for example), old car tyres, sheets of asbestos, plasterboard and paint. These are all classed as hazardous waste, and disposing of them has to adhere to an entirely different process to make sure they don’t cause damage to the environment.
