Hire a 30-Yard RORO Skip in Manchester

Old fixtures, ceiling tiles, partitioning, timber, pallets, plastic wrap and cardboard – waste that fills space without weighing much – is what a 30-yard container is built for. Hospitality and retail refits in the city centre, from the Northern Quarter to Spinningfields, often use one, and so do fit-outs on new commercial developments.

Concrete, soil and rubble are not suitable, because they would leave the container much too heavy to move. Put heavy waste in a standard skip instead, or in a 20-yard RORO kept within its weight limit.

Delivery is by hook-loader lorry: the vehicle slides the container off on site, then pulls it back on board when it is collected. It needs a firm, level and wide route in, space to line up directly behind the placement point, and clear headroom free of branches, canopies and low cables.

That generally rules out residential streets and points to car parks, yards, construction compounds and industrial units. If you have doubts about your site, a site plan or a few photos sent to us will let us check before the delivery is booked.

Let us know the volumes you expect so that lifts can be planned. To fit much more in, stack timber and flatten cardboard; large items should be broken down and the load spread evenly, so the container can be drawn onto the lorry safely. If volumes are high enough, a dedicated container for timber or cardboard can boost recycling. Hazardous waste, plasterboard, upholstered seating and electricals have to stay out and be collected on their own. Each collection comes with a waste transfer note. Subject to availability, exchanges can run to a schedule or be booked on request.
