Often referred to as the “builder’s skip,” the 6-yard model is designed to handle mixed construction and renovation waste with ease.
Its robust size means it can take on heavy materials such as bricks, rubble, and soil while still being compact enough for most domestic driveways.
This skip offers excellent versatility, making it suitable for both household renovation projects and medium-sized building work.
