Commercial skip hire

Commercial skip hire Merseyside

Our commercial skips are designed to hold big amounts of waste from construction, refurbishment projects or old office furniture.

Our commercial skip hire in Liverpool helps businesses of all sizes deal with high volumes of waste safely, legally and conveniently. Just choose a date, time and how long you need it, and one of our team will drop it off the same day or the next day.

Commercial skips can go on your work premises or private land, so you don't pay for a road permit. If a permit is needed, we'll sort it for you. With a range of sizes to choose from, there's one to handle heavy, bulky commercial waste.

Everything goes to a licensed transfer station and you get a waste transfer note for your records, which you're meant to keep for business waste anyway.

Commercial skips are ideal for

  • Construction and demolition waste (rubble, timber, plasterboard, hardcore, packaging)
  • Warehouses and industrial sites (pallet wrap, cardboard, broken stock, general waste)
  • Office and retail clear-outs (furniture, fittings)
  • Shop refurbs (flooring, partitioning, mixed site waste)
  • Pub, bar and restaurant refurbs
  • Landlords between tenants

Commercial skips are commonly used by

  • Shopfitters and refurbishment teams
  • Building and construction firms (builders, groundworkers, roofers)
  • Landscapers and tree surgeons
  • Demolition and strip-out contractors
  • Retailers and hospitality venues
  • Warehouses
  • Office and facilities managers
  • Landlords and letting agents
Which skip?

Pick your size

For a refit or a full unit clear-out, go for the builders' skip. For one office or a stockroom, a midi is usually plenty.

All three drawn to the same scale. Stuck between two? Go for the bigger one. It works out cheaper than needing a second skip halfway through.

Why choose Skips Liverpool for commercial skips?

Worth knowing

Commercial skip hire FAQs

Things people ask

Not answered here? Ring 0151 154 5698.

How big are commercial skips?

For commercial jobs we offer the 4 yard midi and the 8 yard builders' skip, big enough for general building and refurbishment waste.

Our 8 yard skips are ideal if you're getting rid of bulky furniture or building materials. They're designed for high volumes and get used on building sites, business premises and large strip-outs.

What size commercial skip do I need?

It depends on how much waste you need to get rid of in one go.

If you're doing an office, shop or warehouse clear-out, the waste tends to be bulky rather than heavy (cardboard, fixtures, packaging), so a midi or a builders' skip can be a good fit depending on how much there is.

If you're doing building work (bricks, rubble, concrete, soil) and want it gone quickly, an 8 yard skip is ideal. For heavy loads we suggest two skips so you don't go over the weight limit.

What can you not put in a commercial skip?

Hazardous or pressurised items can't go in a commercial skip. That includes asbestos, chemicals, solvents, oils, fuels, liquid waste, batteries, tyres, clinical or medical waste, and electricals.

Can you swap the skip when it's full?

Yes, that's an exchange. We take the full one and drop an empty one in the same trip. Handy on refits that run over a few weeks.

Can the skip go on the road outside the shop?

Yes, with a permit, and we apply for it. In the city centre the rules are tighter: road skips have to be removed the same day unless it's an enclosed lockable skip.

Do I get a waste transfer note?

Yes. Businesses are meant to keep a record of where their waste goes, and the note covers you.
