Skip hire refers to the process of renting a large container, called a skip, to collect and transport various types of waste to designated disposal sites. A skip is made of sturdy materials such as steel or plastic, and comes in different sizes, from mini skips that hold 2 cubic yards of rubbish, to builders' skips that store up to 8 cubic yards of waste, and maxi skips that can carry up to 16 cubic yards of debris. Skips are delivered by specially designed trucks that can place them on private or public land, as long as there is enough space and clearance. Skips can be used for:

• General household waste
• Garden waste
• Builders' waste
• Commercial and industrial waste
• Asbestos disposal (with special permit and precautions)
• Hazardous waste (with special permit and precautions)

Skip hire is important for several reasons:

• It saves time and effort by providing a closed and secure container for waste, reducing the need for multiple trips to the local tip or landfill.
• It saves money by offering competitive rates and flexible contracts that suit your specific needs.
• It contributes to a cleaner and healthier environment by ensuring proper separation, disposal, and recycling of waste, in compliance with the latest regulations and standards.
• It enhances safety by preventing accidental injuries or incidents related to spilled or mixed waste, sharp objects, or hazardous substances.
