Description

Why Choose a 16‑Yard Enclosed Skip for Secure Waste Storage in Stoke‑on‑Trent?

If your project generates a lot of waste and you need to keep it secure and dry, an enclosed skip with a locking lid is the perfect solution. Our 16‑yard enclosed skips offer ample space for bulky, lightweight materials while preventing fly‑tipping and keeping rain out. They are ideal for large house clearances, shop refits and commercial renovations where you need peace of mind that your waste won’t attract attention or blow away. The lid also helps you comply with site‑safety rules that require covered waste containers.

Huge Capacity in a Compact Footprint: Understanding the Dimensions

Despite holding an impressive volume of waste (think well over one hundred black bin bags), the 16‑yard enclosed skip has a surprisingly compact footprint. It measures roughly 13.5 ft long, 6 ft wide and 6.5 ft high. That’s large enough to take bulky items such as pallets, fitted furniture, large pieces of garden waste or shop fittings, yet still easy to position on a driveway or forecourt with good access. Because it’s not designed for soil or hardcore, you’ll find it roomy for light construction debris, packaging and general mixed waste.

Perfect for Construction, Renovation and Major Clear‑Outs

This skip is a favourite with commercial clients handling large volumes of waste from shop refurbishments, office refits or building sites. It’s also great for estate clearances, big landscaping jobs and major DIY projects. If you’re tearing out old shelving, replacing a shopfront or gutting a home, this container will swallow bulky items with ease. For heavy builders’ waste like rubble, consider using an 8‑yard builders skip with drop door instead; for lighter bulky waste without a lid, try our 16‑yard large skip.

Sustainable Waste Disposal: What Goes In (and Stays Out)

We’re committed to recycling and reusing as much waste as possible. You can place wood, soil, rubble, garden waste, metals, plastics, polystyrene and general household debris into your 16‑yard skip. Some items, like carpets, tyres and plasterboard, incur extra charges, so please let us know if you need to include them. Hazardous materials (e.g. asbestos, batteries, gas cylinders, paint, electrical appliances) are not permitted; for guidance on disposing of these, see the UK government’s hazardous waste guidance.

Permit Requirements and Flexible Delivery

If your skip sits entirely on private land, you don’t need a permit. However, when placing it on the road, a licence is required from the local council. In Stoke‑on‑Trent, permits typically cost around £70 and take about three working days to arrange; other councils have different fees and notice periods. You can find more information on the Stoke‑on‑Trent City Council skip permit page. We’ll handle the permit application for you – just select the on‑road option during booking. Our online system lets you choose delivery and collection dates, a morning or afternoon time slot and add extras like disposal of soft furnishings or white goods.

Discover More Skip Options

If your project doesn’t require such a large container or you’d prefer a cheaper alternative, take a look at our 12‑yard enclosed skip for medium‑sized jobs or the 8‑yard enclosed skip for smaller site projects. For heavy waste like bricks and concrete, the 8‑yard builders skip with drop door offers walk‑in access. Whatever your needs, our team is on hand to advise and ensure your waste is handled responsibly.
