A 16-yard skip is ideal for large commercial projects, significant construction work, or extensive home renovations. With a capacity of around 140-160 refuse sacks, it’s perfect for clearing out large offices, warehouses, or managing bulky waste from any big refurbishment. Whether you’re a business with a substantial amount of waste or a contractor tackling a major project, our commercial skip hire gives you the space to stay organised and keep your project running smoothly. At Horrocks Waste Management, we can offer you the perfect sized skip to manage your project and come in on budget, and if you prefer to transport waste yourself, our third party tipping service is another option. If your job is a more modest household clearance, our residential skip hire options cover smaller sizes better suited to domestic use.
The 16 Yard Skip is 2m high x 4.1m in length x 1.8m wide (in feet this is approximately 6.5 ft high × 13.5 ft long × 6 ft wide).
A 16-yard skip can hold approximately 140-160 standard black bin bags of waste. It’s ideal for large projects like office clearances, substantial home renovations, or significant construction jobs.
A 16-yard skip is suitable for a wide range of waste types, including construction debris like timber, bricks, rubble, and metal, general waste, large furniture, and landscaping waste such as soil and branches. It’s also perfect for commercial waste from office or warehouse clearances.
If you’re placing your 16-yard skip on public land, such as a road or pavement, you will need a permit. However, if the skip is placed on private land or your business premises, no permit is required. For public land placement, you’ll need to apply for a permit from your local council which we will sort for you.
The length of time you can hire a 16-yard skip depends on your hire agreement with us. Most customers opt for the standard 2 week rental periods, with the option to extend if needed for an additional fee. Before finalising your booking, it’s important to confirm the hire duration and any extra charges with us to ensure everything runs smoothly.
Yes, there are certain items that can’t go in a 16-yard skip. These include hazardous materials such as asbestos, chemicals and paint. Any form of electrical appliances like fridges, freezers, and TVs (unless arranged for disposal), tyres, batteries, gas canisters, and medical waste are also unable to go in the skip. You can take a look at our terms here for a full list of prohibited items to ensure you’re disposing of your waste properly and legally.
