Skip Sizes

An important (but sometimes confusing) decision to make when hiring a skip is what size to choose for your clear out or demolition project. At Dolly Skip Hire, we aim to make this process as simple as possible for our customers.

Mini and midi skips are ideal for general home use and DIY work, whereas larger clearouts and heavy-duty construction materials tend to require a RORO skip. We have provided a size guide to help you choose which would be best for you.

It’s essential that you choose the right size for your needs – due to safety concerns we can’t collect an overfilled skip, so it’s better to go for a bigger one than to end up paying for two! Luckily, we strive to offer our customers the best possible value for money, always checking our competitors’ prices. If you do find a better price elsewhere, give us a call and we will do our best to beat it.

We offer a variety of skip sizes, extending our services nationwide, including Naas, Newbridge and the wider Kildare area. For more guidance on which skip size to go for, feel free to contact our knowledgeable team who will be more than happy to advise you.
