Skips are available in different sizes to suit the waste needs of any construction or demolition site. They should be placed in an easily accessible and safe location on your site with appropriate signage. Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) needs to be provided and worn to minimise risks when dealing with skips.
Three common skip sizes used on construction sites include:
Small builders’ skip – 6 cubic yards/10 x 4 x 4 feet.
Large builders’ skip – 8 cubic yards/12 x 6 x 4 feet.
Large maxi skip – 12 cubic yards/13 x 6 x 6 feet (no soil and bricks)
