Skips are large, open-topped containers that are commonly used for carrying waste materials. They come in different sizes, ranging from small 2-yard skips to larger 16-yard ones. Skips are essential for any construction, renovation or demolition project, as they help to keep the work area clean and free from debris. You can use skips to dispose of all kinds of waste, from general household rubbish to heavy building materials such as concrete, bricks, and tiles.
