Skip hire is the process of hiring a skip or container for the disposal of waste materials. Skips come in various sizes, and the most common types include mini skips, midi skips, and builders' skips. They are used to collect household waste, garden waste, and commercial rubbish, and they are emptied regularly by waste management specialists.

Skip hire services are often used by homeowners, builders, and commercial facilities to dispose of their waste in an environmentally friendly and efficient manner. Unlike landfill sites, which can be harmful to the environment, skips are emptied into designated waste disposal sites where everything gets sorted and recycled where possible.
