Skip Bags

If you have a lot of rubbish to get rid of, hiring a metal skip may seem like a good idea. A wide range of materials can be disposed of in a skip, such as garden waste, household waste, DIY waste, recyclables, rubble, wood and food waste, and your rubbish is collected and disposed of in one go rather than having to make multiple trips to the rubbish dump. However, skip hire can be expensive, and a skip takes up a LOT of space. That’s where skip bags come into their own.

Benefits of skip bags

Skip bags offer all the convenience of traditional metal skips, but they’re a more cost-effective waste collection solution and take up far less space.

If you hire a metal skip, you’ll need to have enough rubbish to fill it in order to get your money’s worth. Our skip bags, on the other hand, come in two sizes and are ideal for when you want a skip but feel that you don’t have enough rubbish to fill it.

Unlike metal skips, a skip bag can be positioned anywhere as long as the area is free of obstacles, has no overhead cables and is within easy reach of the crane used on our vehicles.

While traditional metal skips usually need to be collected within a set timeframe, you can store our skip bags indefinitely and fill them up when it’s convenient for you.

Another reason why skip bags are becoming an increasingly popular method of disposing of unwanted items and rubbish is because they can help to increase recycling rates. For example, many of our customers hire individual skip bags for garden waste, household waste and DIY waste, making it easier for certain waste types to be segregated.

Skip bags are even more convenient than metal skips, and they’re also cheaper and require less space. So, if you’re in Surrey or Sussex and think you may need a skip to get rid of your rubbish, consider hiring a skip bag from KD Clearance instead.

What are skip bags used for?

Our skip bags are mainly used for small waste disposal projects. Simply load waste and unwanted items into the bag at your convenience, and then call us to collect and dispose of the rubbish.

The KD Clearance skip bag hire and collection service is available for a number of different waste streams including rubble waste, wood, general rubbish, green waste, inert waste and plasterboard waste (plasterboard has to be separated into a bag of its own).
