Whether you are a homeowner having a run-of-the-mill clear out, or a contractor needing to dispose of rubble on a work site, having an efficient way to dispose of a large amount of waste is essential.<\/p>\n

The answer? Hire a skip!<\/p>\n

Easier said than done \u2013 do you know what you should look for when trying to choose a skip hire company? Before you go ahead and make that booking, there are a few factors you need to take into consideration.<\/p>\n

In this article we\u2019ll discuss everything you need to know before you hire a skip.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

What Skip Size Do You Need?<\/h2>\n

Before you choose a skip hire company, you need to determine which skip is the right size for you. This depends on what you are using the skip for, and what materials you are going to be disposing of.<\/p>\n

Skips come in a variety of different sizes. These include 4, 6, 8, 10 and 12 yards, as well as roll on, roll off skips, which are significantly larger for construction or industrial work.<\/p>\n

For small scale domestic use, such as house renovations, a skip between 4- 8 yards is probably an adequate size for you.<\/p>\n

However, you may want to enquire how many bags of waste the skip can contain to determine whether any of these sizes are suitable for your needs.<\/p>\n

A roll on, roll off (or RoRo) skip is a large-scale skip of 17 yards or more that is suitable for construction waste. This includes materials such as metal, soil, plastic, furniture or packaging, making it appropriate for building sites.<\/p>\n

A company may have different types of skips for different materials, such as metal, plastic and wood, for the purpose of recycling, so you will need to check which type of skip applies for your needs.<\/p>\n
