Below is a simple guide to ordering the right skip for the job.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Different Types of Skips<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>There are other sizes available, but here the four main sizes and capacities of skips that can be hired; Mini, midi, builder and large.<\/p>\n<p>Mini Sized Skip: This skip is perfect after you&#8217;ve had a house and garden clear out, and can&#8217;t fit all of the rubbish into your family car. The dimensions are as follows:<\/p>\n<p>Height: 0.76 metres<br \/>\nLength: 1.52 metres<br \/>\nWidth: 1.22 metres<\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s capacity is equal to 30 bin bags.<\/p>\n<p>Midi Sized Skip: This skip is perfect for use when renovating a kitchen and creating a lot of general building waste. The dimensions are as follows:<\/p>\n<p>Height: 0.97 metres<br \/>\nLength: 1.83 metres<br \/>\nWidth: 1.29 metres<\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s capacity is equal to 35 bin bags.<\/p>\n<p>Builder Sized Skip: This skip is generally more for lager scale building renovation or house clearances. This is the most common skip that is hired and the dimensions are as follows:<\/p>\n<p>Height: 1.22 metres<br \/>\nLength: 3.66 metres<br \/>\nWidth: 1.68 metres<\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s capacity is equal to 70 bin bags.<\/p>\n<p>Large Sized Skip: This skip is for larger items such as; wardrobes and beds. It can also be used for waste building and construction materials. The dimensions are as follows:<\/p>\n<p>Height: 2 metres<br \/>\nLength: 4.3 metres<br \/>\nWidth: 1.75 metres<\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s capacity is equal to 150 bin bags.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Permits<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>If you are placing the skip on your land i.e. a driveway or garden, then you have no need for a permit. On the other hand, if you are placing your skip on the road then you will need one. They generally last between three and five days and you will be required to pay a small fee; simply call your local council for localised details or to purchase a permit.<\/p>\n<p><strong>What Can You Put In The Skip?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>As far as skips go, your main limitation is hazardous waste; every skip hire company will have their own rules that you can ask to see, but if the skip does contain something unsuitable, then you are likely to be charged an extra fee for removal.<\/p>\n<p>Now that you know the basics, you simply need to find a reliable company to deliver and collect your skip.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Some jobs require more than just your general household dustbins and this is where skip hire comes in.","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[3],"tags":[211,210,199,83],"class_list":["post-635","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-skip-information","tag-guide-to-skips","tag-skip-guide","tag-skip-sizes","tag-skips"],"aioseo_notices":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.theskipcompany.co.uk\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/635","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.theskipcompany.co.uk\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.theskipcompany.co.uk\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.theskipcompany.co.uk\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.theskipcompany.co.uk\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=635"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/www.theskipcompany.co.uk\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/635\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":637,"href":"https:\/\/www.theskipcompany.co.uk\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/635\/revisions\/637"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.theskipcompany.co.uk\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=635"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.theskipcompany.co.uk\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=635"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.theskipcompany.co.uk\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=635"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
