Roll On Roll Off Skip Hire (RoRo): 20 & 40 Yard Skips in Medway & Kent

Need heavy-duty waste removal for a construction site, commercial project or large facility? Our 20 yard and 40 yard roll on roll off (RoRo) skips are built for large volume of waste.

Roll on roll off (RoRo) skips are large, open-top steel containers that “roll on” and “roll off” a specialist HGV using hydraulic ramps.

  • High-volume waste where a normal skip is too small
  • Heavy loads from demolition and construction
  • Ongoing commercial / industrial waste streams

From our base in Rochester, Medway, Skip Hire Team works as an EA-registered Upper Tier Waste Broker (CBDU596771), partnering only with licensed RoRo operators.

Key benefits of RoRo skip hire

  • High capacity: one RoRo can replace multiple standard skips
  • Cost-effective: fewer collections and less downtime on site
  • Easy loading: rear doors and open tops for plant and manual loading
  • Versatile: suitable for mixed construction waste, bulky commercial waste and more (within restrictions)
  • Better site organisation: one central container keeps waste tidy and reduces trip hazards

Roll on roll off skip hire made simple: one call 0800 260 5989, one quote, and the right container for your project.

Legal, Safety & Duty of Care

We only work with licensed RoRo operators and provide the necessary documentation for compliance. You have a legal Duty of Care for your waste until it reaches a licensed facility.

  • Only use providers with a valid Upper Tier Waste Carrier Licence (checkable on the EA Public Register).
  • Always obtain Waste Transfer Notes for each load, and keep them with your site records.
  • Using unlicensed operators risks fly-tipping, which can lead to fines or prosecution, even if you paid someone else to “take it away”.

How to Hire a Roll On Roll Off Skip

Standard hire is usually up to 14 days, but we regularly arrange long-term RoRo contracts and scheduled exchanges for ongoing projects.

The lady I booked through was so good, she advised me to book a medium skip which was perfect. Everything went well and the skip was delivered and picked up as expected.

Quick FAQs – RoRo Skip Hire

Got questions about RORO skip hire? Our FAQ section covers everything you need to know, from permit requirements to skip sizes and waste types. 

Guide prices start from £290–£355 for a 20 yard and £400–£500 for a 40 yard, depending on location, waste type and tonnage. We’ll give you a clear, written quote before you book.

As a rule of thumb, 20 yard is best for heavy or mixed construction waste on medium jobs, while 40 yard suits very high volumes of lighter, bulky waste on large sites, warehouses and commercial projects.

Yes, but the weight limit of the vehicle still applies. Very dense loads may be better in a 20 yard RoRo or multiple exchanges rather than one overloaded 40 yard container.

✔️ Acceptable Waste Types:

  • Construction and demolition debris (bricks, concrete, timber)
  • General commercial waste
  • Bulky items (furniture, fixtures)
  • Garden waste (soil, branches)

❌ Prohibited Waste Types:

  • Hazardous materials (asbestos, chemicals)
  • Liquids and paints
  • Batteries and electrical equipment
  • Tyres
Standard hire is often up to 14 days, but long-term hire and regular exchanges are available for ongoing jobs. Just tell us your expected schedule when you call.

RoRo skips require clear, level access with enough space for a large HGV lorry to safely deliver and collect. Please ensure the site entrance is at least 3 metres wide and free from obstructions.

Yes. You’ll receive Waste Transfer Notes and, where applicable, weighbridge tickets, so you can demonstrate compliance and traceability for audits.
