What is a Skip?

A skip is a large metal container that is used for waste disposal. Skips come in different sizes and are commonly used on construction sites, home renovations, and for clearing out large amounts of waste. Skips can be loaded with various types of waste, such as construction debris, household waste, or garden waste. Skips have a distinctive trapezoid shape, with an open top that can be covered with a tarpaulin or lid. Skips are usually transported using a skip truck, which can deliver and collect skip from your property.

Mini Skips

A mini skip is the smallest skip size we offer at Skip Hire Gloucestershire. Mini skips have a capacity of 2-3 cubic yards, making them ideal for small domestic projects such as garden waste or DIY. Mini skips are also known as builder's skips and are commonly used on building sites where space is limited. Mini skips are approximately 4 feet long, 3 feet wide and 2.5 feet high. They can hold approximately 30-40 bin bags of waste.

A small skip is the next size up from a mini skip. Small skips have a capacity of 4-6 cubic yards, making them ideal for small household or garden waste. Small skips are approximately 6 feet long, 4 feet wide and 3.5 feet high. They can hold approximately 50-60 bin bags of waste.

These skips are approximately 20 feet long, 7.5 feet wide, and 7 feet high.

Choosing the Right Skip Size

Choosing the right skip size is crucial to ensure efficient waste removal and to save money. If you choose a skip that is too large, you will be paying for space that you do not need. If you choose a skip that is too small, you will need to order a second skip or make multiple trips to dispose of your waste. Follow these steps to choose the right skip size:

1. Evaluate the amount of waste you have: Assess the amount and type of waste you have to dispose of. If you are uncertain, contact Skip Hire Gloucestershire and our team will be able to advise you on the best size skip for your needs.

2. Calculate the skip size: Once you have an estimate of the amount of waste you need to dispose of, use our skip size guide to determine the appropriate size skip.

3. Consider access: Consider the access to your site or property. If you are hiring a skip for a residential property or a location with limited access, a smaller skip may be more suitable.

4. Check regulations: Check regulations in your area to ensure that you comply with local waste management policies.
