Skip hire is the process of renting a large waste container, or skip, to dispose of different types of waste materials. Skips are typically used for construction, renovation, and garden waste removal, but they can also be used for general household cleanouts and office or shop fittings.

There are a variety of different skip sizes available, ranging from small ones designed for DIY projects and smaller cleanouts to large skips designed for heavy-duty waste such as construction and demolition materials. Skip hire companies will usually deliver the skip to your desired location, and then pick it up once it's full and ready for disposal.
