In the UK the size of a [[Skip]] is still traditionally referred to in cubic yards rather than cubic metres (for example ''an 8 yard skip''). 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)

Due to their versatility skips have been adapted for a range of other uses. These broadly include:

An alternative configuration is for the compactor to be part of the skip construction to make it fully portable.
