 It is important that you choose the correct skip size and type for the volume and type of waste you have to dispose.
Please note the following when deciding on your skip size requirements:-
-
Heavy waste (i.e. soils & hardcore) cannot be placed in 10yd3, 12yd3, 14yd3, 16yd3 skips or 35yd3 containers as they will be overloaded and too heavy to pick-up.
-
Skips & containers will not be collected if overloaded and/or the load is unsafe to transport.
-
