THE SKIP HAS BECOME AN ESSENTIAL ITEM FOR THOSE CLEARING THEIR HOME OR PLACE OF BUSINESS OF UNWANTED CLUTTER BUT HAVE YOU EVER WONDERED HOW IT CAME TO BE?
WE THINK YOU’LL FIND THIS INTERESTING!
Here are 5 little-known facts about the humble skip. You can use this trivia and store it away in your brain until that all important pub quiz question when you can swoop in and nail it for your team!
1. THE SKIP FIRST CAME TO BRITAIN IN THE SWINGING 60’S
IT WAS DURING THE HEIGHT OF LEGENDARY BANDS LIKE THE BEATLES IN THE 1960’S THAT SKIPS FIRST APPEARED ON BRITISH SHORES WHICH COINCIDED WITH RECYCLING IN THE UK BECOMING ROUTINE. THEY WERE IMPORTED FROM GERMANY, LEADING NICELY ONTO ONE OF OUR NEXT FACTS…
2. SKIPS ORIGINALLY CAME IN ONE STANDARD SIZE
AT EMS WASTE SERVICES WE SUPPLY SKIPS IN A VARIETY OF SIZES, FROM 2.5YD SKIPS TO 35/40YD RORO SKIPS. BUT DID YOU KNOW THE FIRST SKIPS TRADITIONALLY MEASURED BETWEEN 5-6 CUBIC YARDS.
3. THE GERMANS CAME UP WITH THE FAMILIAR SKIP PLACING
IT HAS BECOME CUSTOMARY FOR A SKIP TO BE DELIVERED TO AND PLACED AT THE FRONT OF A PROPERTY OR COMMERCIAL BUILDING AND IT WAS THE GERMANS WHO FIRST CAME UP WITH THIS NOVEL CONCEPT.
4. THE COST OF THE FIRST SKIPS WAS SURPRISINGLY EXPENSIVE
SKIPS WERE INITIALLY THE PRESERVE OF THE RICH AS THEY COST £5, WITH A FURTHER 3 SHILLINGS DAILY RENTAL CHARGE. THAT MAY NOT SEEM LIKE A LOT, BUT IT WAS BACK IN THOSE DAYS. YOU ALSO HAD TO PAY AN EXTRA 7 SHILLINGS FOR THE WASTE TO BE TRANSFERRED TO A NEARBY LANDFILL.
5. YELLOW HAS ALWAYS BEEN THE STANDARD COLOUR
IN THE 1970’S, THE HIGHWAYS ACT DETERMINED THAT SKIPS SHOULD ALL BE YELLOW COLOURED TO MAKE THEM PROMINENT DURING THE HOURS OF DARKNESS. THIS RULING HAS BEEN RELAXED SINCE, BUT THOSE SKIPS NOT IN THE CONVENTIONAL YELLOW HAVE TO BE APPROPRIATELY LIT AND MARKED.
So there you have it! Some totally interesting facts about Skips that we bet you never knew! If you’d like further informattion on any of our services please feel free to get in touch. Or remember you can book your skip online.

Derian House “I’m so happy that my art is helping children at Derian House. One of my friends saw the truck out and about, and me and my mum think it’s wonderful how much Thomas Hardie Commercials Ltd has raised so far.” ✨ A truck designed by a talented young artist has helped to raise a whopping £1️⃣5️⃣,0️⃣0️⃣0️⃣ for Derian House during our 30th birthday year 🥳 11-year-old Ellie Biggs won the ‘Draw it for Derian’ art competition held by truck dealer Thomas Hardie earlier this year, with her eye-catching design that was emblazoned on a brand-new Volvo FH Globetrotter 🚚 The truck has since been touring the UK, encouraging donations with a ‘text to donate’ number and motivating customers who loan the demonstrator to make a donation of their choice 🫶 Back in March, Ellie and her parents travelled a whopping 250 miles from their home in Devon to Derian House in Chorley to see the truck unveiled for the very first time – adorned with birthday cake, presents, and party balloons to celebrate our big birthday 💚
AS YOU CAN TELL BY THE NAME, MINI SKIPS ARE SMALL. MEASURING IN AT 2.5 CUBIC YARDS OF CAPACITY, THEY’RE THE SAME SHAPE AS THEIR BIGGER COUSINS, JUST ON A MUCH SMALLER SCALE!
BUT IF THEY’RE SO SMALL, HOW CAN THEY POSSIBLY BE USEFUL?
SOME JOBS ARE JUST RIGHT FOR A MINI SKIP!
There’s a surprising number of jobs that suit mini skip hire perfectly – both domestic and commercial.
One of the most common commercial applications for a mini skip is for the disposal of plasterboard, which can’t be mixed with other kinds of waste.
Contractors will hire a mini skip as a secondary option for disposing of drywall and keeping it separate from other materials for easier processing. A secondary mini skip is sometimes used to clear up general waste produced on site and for a final cleanup once a job is completed.
SO WHY ARE MINI SKIPS POPULAR FOR DOMESTIC PROJECTS?
Domestic skip hire customers love mini skips! Because they’re usually just the right size for a small DIY job. Also, their low height makes them very easy to fill with little more than a wheelbarrow for assistance. Plus, the small footprint of mini skips means they’ll fit on most driveways with plenty of room left over to park a car.
As an added bonus, they’re more cost effective to hire than a full size skip, making them a very attractive proposition indeed.
Garden clearances, bathroom refurbishment and even a small kitchen renovation could all be completed with a mini skip. And even though 2.5 cubic yards doesn’t sound like a lot, you’d be surprised at what you can fit in there.
MINI SKIP – WHAT CAN YOU FIT INSIDE?
Mini skips are deceptively big and you’ll be able to get a lot in there. A bit like Mary Poppins bag!!
As an example, think about your bath at home and how much that can hold; a mini skip can hold around twelve times as much. In fact, you can fit around two and a half tons of packed rubble into a mini skip – pretty impressive for the smallest skip in our fleet!
Give us a call to discuss what you need your skip for and we’ll happily give you a free, no obligation quotation.
