What is a skip and what are they used for?

A skip is a large open-topped container designed for loading waste onto a special lifting vehicle. They are commonly used for the disposal of non-hazardous waste such as soil, bricks, rubble, wood, and other general waste. Skips are often used for jobs such as house clearances, garden renovations, and construction projects.

What factors should I consider when choosing a skip size?

Choosing the right skip size is crucial to ensure that you do not pay for more than what you need. Here are some factors to consider when choosing a skip size:

The amount of waste you need to dispose of

The amount of waste you need to dispose of is one of the most important factors to consider when choosing a skip size. If you have a small amount of waste to dispose of, such as garden waste, a 2-yard skip will suffice. For larger amounts of household waste, a 6-yard or 8-yard skip may be more appropriate.

The type of waste you need to dispose of

The type of waste you need to dispose of also needs to be considered when choosing a skip size. Some types of waste, such as soil and rubble, are denser and will fill a skip more quickly than other types of waste. It is important to factor in the density of the waste when choosing a skip size.

The location of the skip

The location of the skip is another important factor to consider. If you have limited space, you may need to opt for a smaller skip size. If you have plenty of space, a larger skip size may be more appropriate.
