Skips Wales
Skip hire is the perfect solution if you’re looking for a waste solution. Skips are useful in so many different uses. Skips are confusing however as there are numerous sizes & configurations available. If you’ve never dealt with skips before, the types of skips may be bewildering. As useful as skip hire is, there are still certain types of waste you can & can’t dispose of.. Some services are also better suited to specific types of disposal, which we’ll go through in this article.
Skips come in a wide range of standard sizes, with most if not all skip hire services. The perfect size for you will be dependent on your needs & the amount of waste produced.
For smaller tasks for domestic customers, a mini or midi skip is ideal. Smaller ships can cope with smaller tasks like minor home improvement, garden clearouts or bathroom renovations. Being smaller, they are also one of the cheaper options for skip hire. These can range from anywhere as low as £110.
Builder & Maxi skips are much larger, better suited for commercial tasks like home renovations & other industrial needs. The amount of waste that these skips can manage is ideal for those with substantial waste needs. Industrially sized skips are also available on the market, as roll on/roll off skips is incredibly useful in the industrial sector. Available in sizes ranging from 20 to 40 yards, these skips are the true Megalodon of skips.

Are there any limitations with skip hire?
When we take a look at skip hire, we can see that it is one of the most comprehensive services in terms of waste disposal. There are however some things that skip hire isn’t suitable for. Storing a skip takes up space and if you don’t have that space, then skip hire may not be for you.
Since skips are delivered & collected using trucks, there are only so many locations that you’re actually able to deliver a skip. A tight alleyway home in a built-up area may not be the best location for a skip hire service, as the truck won’t be able to deliver the skip to your doorstep. Skips are loaded/unloaded within a few meters of the trucks parked position, so if you don’t have space for the lorry to drop off/collect the skip then hiring a skip may be unsuitable for your needs.
There are however alternatives to actually hiring a skip. These still achieve the same result in terms of getting rid of waste. Wait & load services that Skips Wales offer are a great solution for those that don’t have the space to store a skip.
