An 8-yard lockable skip is an excellent choice for medium-sized commercial projects where security is a priority. With a capacity of 60-80 refuse sacks, it’s ideal for office refurbishments, retail cleanouts, or smaller construction works. The lockable lid provides added security, making it perfect for sites where waste needs to be kept secure, especially in public or shared spaces. Whether you’re a business handling sensitive materials or a contractor working on a site with valuable equipment, a lockable skip from Horrocks Waste Management ensures your waste stays protected, giving you peace of mind throughout the project.
The Lockable 8 Yard Skip is 1.5m high x 3.6m in length x 1.7m wide (in feet this is approximately 5 ft high × 12 ft long × 5.5 ft wide).
An 8-yard lockable skip can hold approximately 60-80 standard refuse sacks. It’s an ideal choice for medium-sized commercial projects including office refurbishments, shop fit-outs, and smaller construction jobs and adds extra security.
If you plan to place your 8-yard lockable skip on public land, such as a road or pavement outside your business premises, a permit will be required. However, if the skip is placed on private property, such as your business driveway or site, no permit is necessary. For public land placement, you will need to apply for a permit from your local council. At Horrocks Waste Management, we will assist you in arranging the necessary permit.
The length of time you can hire an 8-yard lockable skip depends on your hire agreement with us. Our standard agreement covers you for 2 weeks but we can extend if needed for an additional charge. Please discuss this possibility when ordering your skip.
