Types of Skips

There are a variety of different skips available for hire in Wokingham. The size, shape and style of the skip you choose will depend on several factors including how much waste is going to be produced and the type of waste that is being produced.

  • Open to Skips

Open top skips are the most popular choice as they can fit all types of waste. The skip itself is open so you do not have to lift any heavy items over a lip or into a small opening. They can hold large amounts of waste and are usually priced according to size and weight.

  • Roll on Roll

Roll on roll off containers are similar to an open top skip except they are larger (up to 40 yards) and have wheels attached to the base so they can easily be moved around a site. They are often used by large industrial businesses where they will need to dispose of more waste materials over longer periods of time before they need emptying.

  • Rare end Loading Skips

Rear end loading skips are designed for heavy duty waste materials such as soil, concrete and rubble. They have sloping sides so the contents can easily slide out when emptied.

  • Drop Door Skips
