Everything you need to know about a 16-yard skip
Staffordshire Skip Hire‘s range of 16-yard skips can clear a substantial amount of waste from industrial and commercial sites.
This includes shop fittings and construction sites where light and bulky waste are produced plus they can also be used by domestic clients for large projects, including a complete house renovation.
A 16-yard skip is often referred to as a Maxi Skip, alongside the other larger skips in our portfolio, such as 8 cubic yard and 12 cubic yard skip.
What jobs are 16-yard skips suitable for?
Our 16-yard skips are popular amongst businesses for commercial clearances because they often have bulky waste that will not fit in smaller skips.
You can fit a lot of bulky items into this type of skip. 16-yard skip hire allows you to deal with all kinds of waste, such as furniture, large waste and large amounts of general waste.
This type of skip, if packed correctly is a cost-effective solution for any job.
What waste is unsuitable for this type of skip?
Skips of this size suffer from many of the same limitations that other skips must adhere to. Here are some of the waste types which can be placed in a 16-yard skip –
- Waste Electrical Equipment & Electronics (WEEE)
- Hazardous Materials (Including Asbestos & Plasterboard)
- Gas Cylinders
- Tyres
- Chemicals
- Aggregates such as Soil & Earth, Gravel, Loose Stones and Sand
This skip is also not suitable for heavy waste such as bricks, soil and clay.
Our skips require good site access or a permit for highway use. It can be very easy to underestimate the size of skip you need and in some instances consumers who don’t research first end up ordering 2 skips when a slightly bigger one would have worked fine.
