Skip hire is the process of renting a skip to dispose of waste. They are essential for large-scale waste removal projects, renovations or any other projects that generate a sizable amount of waste that can't be dealt with in the regular waste collection system. A skip is a large metal container, which is designed to hold waste until it can be disposed of, typically at a waste processing facility. The size of a skip can vary significantly, from 2-yard mini skips to 40-yard roll-on-roll-off skips.
