Local Skip Hire to Suit Every Need

At Skoup, we want to make it as easy as possible for you to get rid of the rubbish you need in whatever skip size you need.

Skips are generally ‘sized’ by their internal volume which is measured as cubic yards or shortened to yards. A single cubic yard is 3ft high x 3ft wide x 3ft deep (3ft = 91cm) and is comparable in size to two large appliances or ten bin bags. Our Skips range in size from four to 12 cubic yards which is generally enough to cover everything from small home renovations to shop refits.

Within the range of skips our local specialists can help you with, we have four prominent skip sizes. Those are known as our Super Mini, Mini, Midi, and Maxi skips. All of our skips are able to hold up to 2 tonnes of weight, making them fantastic tools to have whenever you have waste you need to get rid of.
