==Background==
The [[Skip]] has been used in the UK primarily for [[Construction and Demolition Waste]] works since the 1960s, but these bins are also used as a versatile system for heavier, non-compressible wastes. They are constructed of metal and are delivered, collected, emptied and then returned (or sent to a new waste producer) via a dedicated [[Skip Lorry]] or [[Hooklift Lorry]] depending on the size of the [[Skip]]. This type of skip is distinct from the [[REL Skip]] and the [[FEL Skip]] which is separately listed on WikiWaste.

In the UK the size of a [[Skip]] is still traditionally referred to in cubic yards rather than cubic metres. There are three broad categories of [[Skip]] that relate to their size and the lorry that is used to move them:
* ''''Miniskip'''' - smaller skip up to around 4 cubic yards moved by a small [[Skip Lorry]] (3.5 tonne lorry)
* ''''Builder's Skip'''' - medium size skip from 6 to 16 cubic yards moved by a standard [[Skip Lorry]] (18 tonne lorry)
* ''''Ro-Ro'''' (shortened version of 'Roll on Roll Off') - large skip from 20 to 40 cubic yards moved by a [[Hooklift Lorry]] (18 to 29 tonne lorry)

==Skip Types and Sizes==
The most common sizes and types of [[Skip]] are listed below. The information in the table is a compilation of data in the public domain. The maximum weight in a 'builder's skip' is roughly equivalent to the size in cubic yards (i.e. an 8 cubic yard skip would have a maximum weight of around 8 tonnes).

===MiniSkips===
The most common sizes are below, but can also include a 3 cubic yard size
