Use the guide below as a starting point and check the individual size guide before booking.
Bulky furniture, sofas, desks, multiple room contents, loft clearance
COMMERCIAL & HIGH-VOLUME WASTE
For larger commercial, construction and high-volume waste projects, we can arrange 20 and 40 yard roll-on roll-off containers by phone.
RORO suitability depends on the type and volume of waste, how the container will be loaded and whether the site has enough room for delivery and collection.
20 Yd RORO: Heavy / Bulky Inert 40 Yd RORO: High-Volume Light Commercial
If your skip fills early or the project requires container exchanges, our support team can arrange the next step.
SITE PREPARATION GUIDE
Checking the placement point before delivery helps prevent failed drop-offs and site damage.
● Clear straight-on approach line
● Watch for cables and gutter eaves
Important Notice: Ground Protection & Subsurface Services
A loaded skip and delivery vehicle exert substantial point weight. Avoid shallow drains, inspection covers and fragile paving; use suitable protection where agreed.
Ensure gates and entrance pillars provide enough width and a clear approach.
Keep the drop area clear of low trees, cables and overhangs.
Allow room for a large delivery vehicle, including turning space.
Use stable hardstanding and avoid soft grass, loose gravel or steep slopes.
Understanding accepted, conditional and restricted waste streams helps prevent delays and contamination charges.

Choose by both volume and waste type. Smaller projects may suit a 4-yard skip, medium renovation work often suits 6 yard or 8 yard, and bulky lighter waste may need 10 yrd or 12 yard.
Standard hire includes up to 14 days. If your project needs more time, contact us and we'll arrange an extension.
Skips must be loaded to a level fill for safe transport. If a skip is overfilled above the rim, collection may be delayed or refused until the load is brought back to a safe level.
Yes, if the skip will sit on a public road, pavement or highway, a council permit is required. If it's placed entirely on private land, such as a driveway, you usually won't need one. We can check and arrange this on your behalf.
Hazardous and controlled materials can't go in a skip include asbestos, tyres, wet paint and solvents, hazardous chemicals, gas cylinders, batteries, clinical waste, oil and fuels, fluorescent tubes, and food waste. See the waste compatibility guide above for the full breakdown.
Same-day or next-day delivery is available in most areas, depending on order time and location. Enter your postcode in the booking journey to check live availability.
No. 10- and 12-yard skips are designed for bulky, lighter waste and shouldn't be loaded with heavy materials like soil, hardcore or concrete, as this can make them unsafe to collect. For heavy waste, a smaller skip (4, 6 or 8 yard) is the right choice — check with our team if you're not sure.
