6-8 cubic yard
Mostly for building projects where there is heavier waste such as bricks, hardcore, timber, plasterboard, roof tiles and soil etc.
12-16 cubic yard
For larger amounts of mixed waste. For example : a mix of light and heavy waste such as timber, plastics, paper, cardboard, carpet plus small amounts of heavier waste such as bricks, blocks etc.
All the above skips are lowered on chains from the skip vehicle. These vehicles require less space to deliver and collect than the following roll-on-off skips.

Yes, in most cases. You will, however, need a permit issued by the local council. We arrange this for you but note that it will take 3-5 working days to arrange. Skips also require lights and road cones which are available from us when you order your skip.
If, for any reason, the local authority refuses to issue a permit, we can arrange a wait and load service.
We do not take hazardous waste. Common examples are listed below. For more information on hazardous waste, please visit the Environment Agency website.
