How to Choose the Most Suitable Skip Size

A lot of people aren’t aware of the versatility of skip hire as this waste disposal method can be utilised for small-scale projects like a garden clearout, home renovations of the bathroom or kitchen, or even large-scale construction work. With this said, it can often be difficult to gauge which size skip is most suitable for your needs as every single project is different. Read on as the PWM Skip Hire team goes over a few handy ways that you can assess skip size…

Amount of Waste

Each project will generate a different amount of waste as some items can be bulkier than others which is why it may be helpful to consider how much debris you expect to create at the end. For example, if the waste is fairly lightweight and can be easily flattened then you may be able to get away with paying for a smaller skip and this will save you a great deal of money as a result.

Type of Project

Although it may seem like the same point being reinforced again, the type of project that you are carrying out can often heavily influence your choice of skip. After all, construction work is almost guaranteed to create a lot more waste than a shed clear-out which is why we recommend our maxi skip for this type of work. On the other hand, small garden work may not even require a skip at all as a skip bag may be sufficient for the weight of the materials that are being disposed of.

Length of the Skip Hire

Our experience tells us that the longer a client hires a skip, the more waste that will ultimately end up being placed inside it. After all, they are a handy method of disposal which means that they can be taken full advantage of as long as the materials that are placed inside are deemed suitable by the skip company.

Here at PWM Skip Hire, we pride ourselves on the different skip sizes that are available for our clients to choose from ranging from our mini skip, which equates to 8 wheelie bins of waste; our midi skip, which is the equivalent of 12 wheelie bins of waste; and our maxi skip, which holds up to 16 wheelie bins worth of waste.
