Size overview
What high volume skip (16 yard) is usually used for
A 16 yard high volume skip is suited to large rubbish removal jobs, bulky commercial waste, builders waste and major clear-outs where a standard skip is too small.
Check first
Confirm road permit needs, accepted waste, access and maximum loaded weight before booking. Larger 10 to 40-yard skips are not automatically suitable for concrete, soil or dense rubble: vehicle weight limits can be reached before the container is full. Ask whether a smaller skip or dedicated load is required.
Between sizes?
For light, bulky waste, compare the next size up rather than overfilling. For soil, rubble, concrete or other heavy waste, check supplier weight restrictions first: a larger container may not be suitable.
