Services
Little Mini Skips
Our Little Mini skips (2 cubic yards) hold approximately 25 bin bags, ideal for household clutter, garden waste, and small renovation projects. Despite their compact size, these skips efficiently handle soil, rubble, and wood. Perfect for homeowners needing discreet waste removal without disrupting driveway space.
Mighty Midi Skips
Mighty Midi skips (4 cubic yards) accommodate 45-50 bin bags, making them versatile for garage clearances, kitchen renovations, and medium-sized building projects. Available with doors for heavy materials, these skips balance capacity with accessibility, serving both domestic and trade customers across Grimsby.
Super Six Skips
Super Six skips (6 cubic yards) hold 75-80 bin bags, bridging the gap between domestic and commercial needs. Commonly used by builders for construction waste, these skips efficiently manage large volumes of debris while remaining suitable for residential driveways.
Great Eight Skips
Great Eight skips (8 cubic yards) handle around 100 bin bags, designed for whole-house renovations and large-scale commercial projects. While unsuitable for heavy materials like soil due to weight restrictions, these skips provide maximum capacity for bulky waste removal.
Roll-On/Off Skips
Our roll-on/off skips (20-40 cubic yards) cater to major construction sites and industrial clients. These large containers efficiently manage high-volume waste streams, with capacities suited to demolition projects, warehouse clearances, and infrastructure developments across Grimsby and surrounding areas.
