40 yard skip

A typical 40-yard skip typically measures approximately 8 feet high, 8 feet wide, and 20-22 feet long. This may vary depending on the supply partner, so please check access requirements with us before booking a 40 yard skip hire.

When hiring a 40-yard skip, the delivery location must be considered. All RoRo skips can be delivered onto private land, but in some circumstances, this may not be possible.

If space is limited and a 40-yard skip cannot be placed on private land, a skip hire permit must be obtained. This allows you to place your RoRo skip onto a public road. The local authority must approve this permit.

We’re more than happy to help you obtain a permit, and our friendly customer service team is always on hand. There may be additional charges for your permit, but we’ll make sure that you get the help you need.

A 40-yard skip can typically hold roughly between 320 to 440 standard black bin bags of waste, depending on the type of waste and how it is loaded. Before hiring, we recommend a site waste audit so we can fully confirm if a 40 yard skip is too large, or too small for your waste being generated.
