Enclosed skips or lockable skips which can be particularly beneficial on environmentally sensitive sites, where there is a necessity for securing specific waste streams.
What are Enclosed Skips?
Although Skips are traditionally open in design, there is the option to have an enclosed skip which can be particularly beneficial when utilised on environmentally sensitive sites, where there is a necessity for securing specific waste streams.
Used in commercial and domestic locations, enclosed skips prevent unwanted and unlawful access without permission, specifically in settings that are frequently unattended or allow public accessibility.
When you hire a skip, you are responsible for everything that is placed inside, so it is important that only permitted items are added, otherwise additional charges may be incurred. A lockable skip should safeguard against these issues.

Where are Lockable Skips used?
Enclosed skips are suitable for larger, heavier materials.
This type of container is suitable for a wide variety of waste types including; general waste or recycling, bulky waste streams, construction/demolition waste, dry non-hazardous waste, heavy materials and soils. Our enclosed skips can even be used for asbestos due to their lockable lid.
Our enclosed skips need vehicle access for loading and require a permit if placed on a road. They are a popular solution for the disposal of large waste volumes.
