Skip hire is an essential service for anyone who needs to dispose of a large amount of waste. Skips come in a variety of sizes, from small 2-yard skips to large 12-yard skips. However, choosing the right size skip can be a challenge, especially if you have never hired one before. In this guide, we will explain the different types of skip available and give you tips on how to choose the right size skip for your needs.

Waste

Before choosing a skip, you need to consider the type of waste you will be disposing of. Different types of waste require different types of skips, and some types of waste cannot be disposed of in skips at all. For example, hazardous waste such as chemicals, asbestos, and batteries cannot be disposed of in skips, and you will need to contact a specialist hazardous waste disposal company.

Skip

The most common type of skip is the open skip. This type of skip is open at the top and is suitable for general waste, such as household waste, garden waste, and construction waste. Open skips come in a variety of sizes, from 2 yards to 12 yards, and the larger the skip, the more waste it can hold.

Skips

In addition to open skips, there are also closed skips and roll-on, roll-off skips. Closed skips are similar to open skips but have a lid, which is useful for preventing waste from blowing away or being tampered with. Roll-on, roll-off skips, also known as RoRo skips or mega skips, are much larger than standard skips and are used for commercial and industrial waste. RoRo skips are usually 20-40 yards in size and require specialist equipment to load and transport.

Yard

When choosing a skip, you also need to consider the amount of space you have available. Skips are usually placed on the road or driveway outside your property, so you need to ensure that there is enough space for the skip and the delivery vehicle. A standard 2-yard skip is approximately 5 feet long by 4 feet wide, so you will need to ensure that there is enough space for the skip to be delivered and collected safely.

Bags

If you only have a small amount of waste to dispose of, you may want to consider skip bags. Skip bags are strong and durable bags that can be filled with waste and collected by a skip hire company. Skip bags are available in a range of sizes, from 1 yard to 4 yards.

Large

If you have a large amount of waste to dispose of, you will need to hire a larger skip. The most common sizes of skip for household use are 6 yard, 8 yard and 12 yard skips. A 6-yard skip can hold approximately 6 tonnes of waste, while an 8-yard skip can hold approximately 8 tonnes of waste. A 12-yard skip can hold approximately 12 tonnes of waste.

Bin

If you only have a small amount of waste to dispose of, you may be able to use your household bin. However, most local councils have restrictions on the amount of waste that can be collected, and you may need to hire a skip if you have a larger amount of waste.

Bin Bags

Another option for disposing of small amounts of waste is to use bin bags. Bin bags are available in a range of sizes and can be used for household or garden waste. Bin bags are suitable for small amounts of waste, but if you have a larger amount of waste, you will need to hire a skip or use skip bags.

Roll

Roll-on, roll-off skips are the largest type of skip available and are used for commercial and industrial waste. Roll-on, roll-off skips are usually 20-40 yards in size and are suitable for large amounts of waste. Roll-on, roll-off skips require specialist equipment to load and transport and are not suitable for household use.

Width

When choosing a skip, it is important to consider the width of the skip. The width of the skip will determine how much waste it can hold and how much space it will take up on your drive or the road outside your property. The width of a standard 2-yard skip is approximately 4 feet, while a 12-yard skip is approximately 6 feet wide.
