One of the common mistakes that can befall the inexperienced skip hirer is choosing a skip that is too small. Unsurprisingly, bigger skips do cost more to hire than smaller ones but opting for the smallest possible skip you think you can get away with frequently proves to be a false economy.
There are many aspects that can make bigger skips more beneficial and the one big aspect that can make them cheaper in the long run.
Larger skips are generally easier to load for many reasons, when dealing with heavy or loose waste, the walk in access provided by larger skips is hugely beneficial when compared to a small skip without this feature.
The biggest fundamental benefit is the ability to load the skip more easily. Whilst the physical demands of loading the waste are the same, the larger skip may afford you the luxury of not having to carefully plan the skip loading process. When your skip is just the right size for your waste, this may prompt the need for some intricate tessellation of waste. Whilst a larger skip could be perceived as paying for wasted space, it will almost certainly save time and frequently afford you the chance to get rid of some extra or unforeseen waste. It may also avoid the need for a second costly skip to finish the job.
