Waste Management

Before hiring a skip, it's essential to consider how much waste you expect to generate. Skip hire companies in Somerset charge by the size of the skip, but also the weight of the rubbish, so you need to be careful not to over or underestimate the amount of waste generated.

For instance, if you're planning a small DIY project like a bathroom renovation, a 2-yard mini skip would be suitable. However, if you're hiring a skip for a larger project like a home renovation or landscape gardening, a 6-yard skip may be best suited.

Skip Sizes

Skip Hire Somerset offers a range of skip sizes. Let's delve into the details of our skips and when you might require them.

Mini Skips

Our mini skips start from 2-yards and are ideal for small domestic projects, such as bathroom or kitchen renovations, garden waste, or small amounts of household waste. 2-yard skips can hold approximately 20-30 bin bags and are suitable for small to medium-sized household clean-ups.

Midi Skips

Our midi skips are available in 4-yard and 6-yard sizes. 4-yard skips can hold up to 40 bin bags and are ideal for medium-sized DIY projects, garden waste, or small renovations. A 6-yard skip can hold up to 60 bin bags, making it suitable for larger domestic projects, including renovations or office clear-outs.

Builders Skips

Builders skips hold from 8-yards to 16-yards and are best suited for large construction projects; these skips are the standard skip for builders and are often used on building sites. 8-yard skips can hold up to 80 bin bags, while 16-yard skips can hold up to 160 bin bags.

Roll on Roll Off Skips

For significant large projects, we recommend our 20-yard and 40-yard roll-on roll-off skips. These skips can hold a vast amount of waste and are particularly useful for commercial demolition projects, construction sites or extensive home renovations. A 20-yard skip is equivalent to approximately 200 bin bags, and a 40-yard skip is equivalent to around 400 bin bags.

What Can I Put In My Skip?

To ensure appropriate waste management and disposal, it's essential to know what you can or cannot put in the skip. At Skip Hire Somerset, we accept various types of waste, including:

• General household waste (such as furniture, wood, and plastics)
• Garden waste (such as soil, leaves, and shrubbery)
• Construction waste (such as bricks, concrete, and plasterboard)
• Metal and electrical waste (such as white goods, kitchen appliances, and tools)

We do not, however, accept hazardous waste such as asbestos, clinical waste, chemicals, batteries or gas cylinders. For the correct disposal of hazardous waste, we recommend contacting a specialist waste management company.
