Midi Skips

Midi skips are a convenient and cost-effective way of disposing of excess waste. They come in an array of sizes, from 1m to 4m, allowing for the disposal of both large and small amounts of refuse. Despite their many advantages, midi skips have some drawbacks too.

Firstly, they are not suitable for hazardous materials such as asbestos or chemicals due to their open tops. Secondly, they can be difficult to manoeuvre around tight spaces or up steep inclines. Additionally, some local councils may impose restrictions on where the skip can be located and how long it can remain there before being emptied.

On the other hand, there are many benefits to using these containers. Firstly, they are relatively inexpensive and easy to acquire; most hire companies deliver the skip directly to your home or business premises at no extra charge. Furthermore, they offer a means of separating recyclable materials from non-recyclable items for further processing or disposal at recycling facilities.

Moreover, sometimes midi skips provide a more efficient solution than regular household bins when dealing with large quantities of waste material – particularly bulky items that won’t fit inside regular bin bags such as furniture or large appliances. Lastly, hiring a midi skip is much faster than arranging collection through your local council who may take weeks or even months before collecting your rubbish.

In conclusion, while there are certain limitations associated with midi skips – including their lack of suitability for hazardous materials – overall they offer an affordable and versatile option for disposing of excess waste quickly and conveniently without the need for multiple trips to the tip or waiting weeks for collection by your local council.
