Let's start from the beginning. What is a skip, and why would you need one? Simply put, a skip is a large container designed to hold waste materials, such as rubble, soil, wood, metal, plastic, and general waste. Skips are typically made of steel and come in various sizes, from mini (2-3 cubic yards) to large (12-16 cubic yards). Depending on the size and type of waste you generate, you may need a different skip size and type.

Some of the most common uses for skips include:

• Home renovations: if you're tearing down walls, reinstalling a kitchen, or redoing your bathroom, you're likely to generate a lot of bulky waste that can't go in your regular dustbin.
• Garden clearance: if you're trimming trees, shrubs, or hedges, or digging up a lawn, you'll need a place to put all the green waste and soil.
• Building sites: if you're a contractor or a DIY enthusiast working on a building site, you'll need a way to collect and dispose of the rubble, bricks, and other materials.
• Events: if you're organizing a festival, a market, or a party, you'll need a skip to collect the litter and other waste generated by the attendees.
