Skip Guide

Regardless of the project you’re tackling around the home, garden or site, our large range of skips means we have the ideal way to correctly dispose of your waste. Our simple Skip Guide includes metric and imperial measurements of skips to give an indication of the actual size of each. We have also included an estimate of the capacity of each skip as an equivalent of domestic refuse sacks. 

If you have any further questions, don’t hesitate to contact our helpful team here.
