What size skip should you hire?

• Skip bins are great for residential, commercial or industrial waste removal.
• Skip bins come in various sizes, starting from 2 cubic metres (2 m3) and typically up to 11 cubic metres (11m3).
• Skip bin hire cost is usually determined by the size of the skip, how many days you are hiring it for, and how many times you need it to be collected to dispose of the waste.
• To determine the right skip waste bin to hire, you need to look at how much waste you will dispose of, what kind of waste you are disposing of, and where the skip will be placed.
• How much waste: One cubic metre of waste is roughly equivalent to what you can dispose of in four standard wheelie bins. People usually underestimate rather than overestimate their needs, so when in doubt go one size up.
• What kind of waste: Skips are good for recyclables, household waste, garden waste and light building waste. Consult your Pro if you are planning to get rid of bricks, concrete, or hazardous waste.
• Where it will be placed: Because there are different kinds of skips, your skip hire Pro can advise you of the skip dimensions and what kind of vehicle will be used to drop it off and collect it.
