✣ 20 & 40 YARD COMMERCIAL WASTE CONTAINERS

Roll On Roll Off Skip Hire

Roll on roll off skips, commonly called RORO skips, are large open containers used for high-volume commercial, construction, industrial and site-clearance waste.

Skip Hire Team can arrange 20 and 40 yard RORO containers for suitable sites. Each job is quoted individually because the waste type, estimated volume, site postcode, access and collection requirements need to be checked before supply.

RORO containers need considerably more space than standard skips and are generally best suited to construction sites, commercial premises, warehouses, yards and other locations with suitable private hardstanding.

Discuss Your Site and Waste Requirements

20 and 40 yard RORO containers are quoted individually rather than booked through the standard online checkout.

When you contact us, have the following information ready:

Full site postcode
Preferred RORO size, if known
Main waste type
Approximate waste quantity
Site access and placement details
Preferred delivery date
Expected collection or exchange schedule
Any paperwork required for the project

This helps us check the suitable container, local availability and access requirements before providing a quote.

✣ LARGE CONTAINERS

RORO Skips We Offer

20 Yard Roll On Roll Off Skip

A 20 yard RORO skip is suited to larger construction, refurbishment, strip-out and commercial waste projects where a standard builders’ skip would fill too quickly.

Compared with a 40 yard container, the 20 yard RORO has a lower loading height and can be a more practical option where the waste includes heavier or denser materials.

Uses

Construction and refurbishment waste
Strip-out waste
Site-clearance material
Timber and bulky commercial waste
Agreed mixed builders' waste
Approved quantities of denser material

Loading the Container

Keep all waste within the container sides.
Break down suitable bulky items where practical.
Distribute approved materials safely throughout the container.
Do not overload the RORO or allow waste to project above the sides.
Follow any loading instructions provided for the supplied container.

Heavy and Dense Waste

The acceptable quantity depends on the material, container, collection vehicle and supplier limits.

A 20 yard RORO may be more suitable than a 40 yard container for some agreed dense-waste loads, but the waste type and estimated quantity must be confirmed before supply.

40 Yard Roll On Roll Off Skip

A 40 yard RORO provides the largest volume in the Skip Hire Team RORO range and is best suited to high-volume, relatively lightweight commercial waste.

It is commonly used for warehouse clearances, office and retail strip-outs, packaging, timber, furniture and other bulky materials where a standard skip or smaller RORO would fill too quickly.

Typical Uses

Warehouse clearances
Office and retail strip-outs
Packaging and cardboard
Timber and wood
Furniture and fixtures
Bulky commercial waste
Suitable light construction waste
Large site-clearance projects

Loading the Container

Keep all waste within the container sides.
Break down suitable bulky items where practical.
Load stable items first and use the remaining space efficiently.
Do not overload the container or allow waste to project above the sides.
Follow any loading instructions provided for the supplied container.

Dimensions, doors and loading arrangements can vary between suppliers. If the placement area or loading method is restricted, confirm the available container specification before supply.

Not Sure Which Size Is Suitable?

Do not choose the largest container based on volume alone.

Tell us what waste you are removing, roughly how much there is and how the container will be loaded. We can then check whether a 20 or 40 yard RORO is the more suitable option.

If access is unusual, send photographs or measurements before the container is arranged.

✣ SITE ACCESS

What Access Does a RORO Skip Need?

A RORO skip is delivered and collected using a specialist hook-loader HGV, so it needs considerably more access and manoeuvring space than a standard skip.

The placement area should be firm, level and large enough for the vehicle to approach, roll the container into position and return later for collection.

✣ QUOTE & BOOKING PROCESS

How to Hire a Roll On Roll Off Skip

RORO hire starts with a discussion about the waste, site and access rather than a standard online checkout.

Tell Us About the Waste

Provide the main waste type, estimated quantity and whether the load will be mixed or separated.

Declare soil, rubble, concrete, plasterboard, upholstered seating, electrical equipment or other materials that may need extra checks.

Confirm the Site and Access

Give us the full site postcode, proposed placement area and access details.

Tell us about gates, barriers, narrow roads, slopes, soft ground, overhead restrictions or limited turning space.

Discuss the Container and Quote

We will consider the waste type, expected volume, likely collection weight and available site space before discussing a 20 or 40 yard RORO.

The quotation will confirm the available container and the relevant hire, collection or exchange arrangements.

✣ COMMERCIAL WASTE COMPLIANCE

Duty of Care and Waste Transfer Notes

Businesses have a duty of care for the waste they produce. Waste must be described accurately and passed to an authorised person or business for collection and management.

For non-hazardous commercial waste, the transfer must be covered by a Waste Transfer Note or other documentation containing the required information.

Skip Hire Team arranges RORO delivery and collection through suitable licensed suppliers.

Information We Need About the Waste

Do not assume that every document or reporting format is included automatically. Confirm the project’s requirements before the booking is finalised.

COMMON RORO QUESTIONS

RORO Skip Hire FAQs

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

What is a roll on roll off skip?

A roll on roll off skip, commonly called a RORO skip, is a large open waste container delivered and collected using a specialist hook-loader HGV.

RORO containers are designed for high-volume commercial, construction, industrial and site-clearance waste.

What size RORO skips can Skip Hire Team arrange?

We arrange 20 and 40 yard RORO containers for suitable sites.

The right size depends on the waste type, expected volume, collection weight, available site space and loading method.

How much does RORO skip hire cost?

RORO hire is quoted individually.

The price depends on factors such as the site postcode, container size, waste type, access, hire arrangement and collection or exchange requirements.

Can I put soil and rubble in a RORO skip?

Some agreed quantities of dense waste may be suitable for a 20 yard RORO, but soil, rubble, bricks, concrete and similar materials must be declared before quotation.

A 40 yard RORO is generally intended for high-volume, relatively lighter waste and should not normally be selected for a full dense load.

What access does a RORO skip need?

RORO containers require suitable access for a specialist hook-loader HGV.

The site needs enough road width, entrance clearance, manoeuvring room and firm, level placement space for delivery and collection.
