Whether you're a homeowner needing a skip for tidying the garden or home, or a builder hiring skips for a construction project, it's always important to find the right skip for your needs. Sometimes the skip hire business seems geared towards dealing with customers that know exactly what they want and how the process works. So the guidelines below help you understand the process and order the right sized skip for the job you want to do. What size skip do I need? Be realistic when working out how much rubbish you need to get rid of. You'll save time and money by hiring a skip that is slightly too large rather than hiring one that is too small and having to call for an additional skip. More importantly, overloading a skip is illegal - if the full skip is too heavy then it might not be taken away, so it's better to be safe than sorry. There are a range of skip sizes available, which are as follows: Mini skip : 2 cubic yards; approximately 20 bin bags, for small house or garden jobs. Midi skip: holds 4 cubic yards; suitable for 30-40 bin bags or a small kitchen or bathroom refit or refurbishment. Maxi skip: 8 cubic yards, commonly used for residential refurbishment projects, shop refits and office clearances; suitable for 60-80 bin bags. 12-14 yard enclosed skip : these skips are used to prevent waste material blowing away, or food waste which can attract rats on building sites. Used for house refurbishment or clearances. 14 yard skip: used for refurbishment works or large house clearances; suitable for 100-120 bin bags. 20 yard roll on/off: lightweight materials, approximately 50 tonnes of general waste : shop refits, etc. 40 yard roll on/off: designed for waste such as wood, metal, plastic, large bulky items and segregated waste.
