Skip & Skip bag Guide

A Skipbag was developed as a cheap alternative to the usual metal bin skips. A skipbag is half the price of a metal bin skip, and there is no time limit on when you have to use it. If the work you plan to carry out is Light builders waste, a kitchen or bathroom refurbishment, a DIY project, Garden Waste, or simply a House hold clear out, then a skipbag is all you need. Skipbags can hold up to two tons in weight and will hold the same volume(not weight) as metal bin skips. The skipbag comes in a neat small flat pack, weighing 1.5 kilograms, and can be stored under your kitchen sink or out in your garden shed.
