<\/a><\/center>\nAre you renovating your home, revamping your garden or simply having a spring clean? If so, the chances are you will need to hire a skip. Skips make it easy to store and then dispose of waste without having to make lots of trips to the local dump. However, with so many different skips to choose from it can be tough to know what will be best for your needs. Read on for a quick guide to mini skips.<\/p>\n
Mini Skip Sizes<\/strong><\/p>\n The mini skip is the smallest skip available to hire. It is perfect for small projects that will create minimal waste, such as garage clear-outs and garden tasks. Most mini skips have a capacity of two cubic yards, which is the equivalent of around 30 bin bags full of waste. A benefit of mini skips is that they have a length and width of five feet, which means they are small enough to fit into most driveways. With a height of 2.2 feet it’s easy to put waste into the skip without having to throw it over high skip walls. Overall, a mini skip is perfect for when you have too much waste to fit into your car for tip drop-off, but you do not require a large capacity skip.<\/p>\n Hiring a Mini Skip<\/strong><\/p>\n Skip hire companies will be able to arrange the mini skip hire details. They can come and drop the skip off in your driveway or garden and then collect the full skip from you at a specified date.<\/p>\n If you need to hire a skip but you can’t house it on your residential or commercial property overnight then you can use a wait and load service. This is where the skip is hired for a short amount of time – typically 30 minutes to 60 minutes. The quick and convenient service allows people who live on narrow roads or have limited space available to make use of a mini skip.<\/p>\n When it comes to choosing a skip size it is always best to allow some space for extra waste. If you think a mini skip might be too small for your project requirements then you might want to consider hiring a larger skip, such as a midi skip or a builder’s skip.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Are you renovating your home, revamping your garden or simply having a spring clean?
