How much does skip hire cost? – Here at A1 Skip Hire, we specialise in skip hire in the North West, offering our services to those in Chorley and Preston, and anywhere in between.
Hiring a skip is a great way to get rid of your waste but is it the most affordable solution? There are several factors that determine the cost of skip hire – let’s take a look at these before you decide to hire a skip.
Skip size
We provide a wide range of domestic and commercial skips – aiming to meet the demands of all customers. The smallest skips that we provide for skip hire Chorley are the mini skips which can store 40-50 bin bags of waste.
The midi and maxi skips are the next sizes up – offering more storage space. These are the most popular skips that we offer for skip hire Chorley and they are ideal if you need to throw out 80-90 bin bags of rubbish.
Open skips are the largest domestic skips that we have available, ranging from 12-cubic yards to 16-cubic yards. If you’re looking to remove up to 135 bin bags, you’re more than likely going to need one of our open skips as they provide you with ample storage space.
The roll on, roll off skips are the biggest skips that we offer and suit the requirements of commercial projects that generate large volumes of waste. A 20-40 yard RoRo container can hold up to 450 bin bags of rubbish- saving you the hassle of hiring a second or third skip.
Choosing a larger skip will cost more initially but you’ll have sufficient space to store your waste – allowing you to avoid expensive fines and hidden charges.

When it comes to filling a skip, there are several things that you need to keep out- especially if you’re to keep your costs low.
