Waste management is a vital component of any construction project. This is where a skip comes into its own. You can easily lift these open-top containers onto a wagon. When full, the contents or waste is disposed of correctly.
Construction sites produce a lot of waste. This waste can include concrete, bricks, metal, wood and mixed debris. It can be an overwhelming task to keep on top of. Hiring a skip lets you ensure your construction site stays clean, organised and safe for workers and visitors.
Skips for construction sites are generally for disposal of non-hazardous waste. You can organise specified skips for different types of hazardous waste. A skip hire firm is required to have a license to remove construction waste. One tier is for rubble, stones, etc. The second tier is for the correct removal of hazardous debris.
You can hire skips of various sizes to suit the size and length of the construction project. You can hire skips for domestic use to hold 2, 3 or 4 tonnes of waste. Builders’ skips are usually larger and can hold 5 – 8 tonnes of waste.
Skip hire companies are obliged to recycle the waste as much as possible, aiming for zero waste to go into landfill, which also works well for your construction image as environmentally friendly.

The most significant differences between commercial use skip and domestic skip hire are the amount of waste they deal with and the content. Domestic or household waste is often a mishmash of different materials and products, depending on the job.
You can expect various items from large and small domestic appliances to children’s toys mixed in with rubble. You can also find furniture, decorating residue, garden, and household waste. Unfortunately, this is often added to by neighbours depositing their rubbish in an open skip.
Skips at a construction site are better organised into what goes into them—making the recycling and disposal of waste more manageable than the eclectic collection of a domestic skip. Plus, construction sites can organise hazardous waste skips that require unique disposal means. As these sites are often locked up or guarded at night, nobody can dump miscellaneous rubbish from elsewhere into them.
