Considerations When Choosing A Skip Size

When hiring a skip, there are three main considerations that will help you to determine what size skip you require:

1. The Type of Waste Youre Disposing Of

Different types of waste have different densities, which can affect the volume of waste that can be placed in a skip. For example, heavy materials such as soil or bricks take up less space than lighter materials such as garden waste or furniture.

Before hiring a skip, consider the type and volume of waste you will be disposing of. This will help you choose the most appropriate size skip for your needs.

2. The Available Space

Before hiring a skip, its important to ensure that you have enough space for it to be delivered and collected safely. All of the skip sizes we offer at Skip Hire Berkshire require different amounts of space, so its important to take measurements before choosing a size.

3. The Duration of Your Project

How long your project will take will determine how long you will need to hire the skip for. If you are working on a long-term project, then you may need a larger skip to accommodate the waste over a longer period of time.
