Skip Sizes – JM Kennie Skip to content

Book a skip for your project in Edinburgh

Choosing the right skip size matters – and we can help.

When it comes to waste disposal, getting the right skip size can save you time, money, and hassle. Too small, and you’ll find yourself needing multiple skips; too large, and you’re paying for space you don’t need. At J & M Kennie Limited in Broxburn, we understand the importance of getting it just right, and we’re here to help you get the skip you need. Get in touch to find out more.

We can place your skip on private land, such as a driveway, at your request, so long as you are the owner, or have permission from them. Some skips can be place on public roads, but require a permit. Skips must not be filled over the level load, and overloaded skips will be subject to a surcharge. This is because skips that are overloaded cannot be collected for health and safety reasons.
