Here’s a breakdown of our core skip hire services:
1. Skip Hire in Dorset – Tailored to Your Needs
We provide flexible and affordable skip hire options in Dorset, tailored to a wide range of projects. Our skips are available in multiple sizes—from compact 4-yard skips, ideal for small home renovations, to spacious 12-yard skips suited for large construction projects. In addition to traditional open skips, AMS also offers enclosed, lockable skips for added security. Our friendly team is always ready to offer guidance on selecting the right skip size for your project, along with tips on loading each skip efficiently for optimal space use.
Common Projects for AMS Skip Hire:
Construction Sites: For builders and contractors, having a reliable skip hire service is essential for keeping a site clean and operational.
Home Renovations: Whether it’s a bathroom refit or a loft conversion, our skips offer an easy way to remove large amounts of rubble, tiles, and old fixtures.
Garden Clearances: Clearing out hedges, soil, and old garden furniture? A skip will help you get the job done faster without multiple trips to the tip.
Pro Tip: Maximising Skip Space Efficiently! Start with flat items at the base, layer heavy items in the centre, and fill gaps with smaller waste to maximise space and balance. Breaking down larger items can create extra room and help distribute the weight evenly.
2. RoRo Containers – Efficient Waste Solutions for Large Projects
For projects with significant waste output, our RoRo containers offer an ideal, high-capacity solution and are also suited to large bulky lighter waste. Available in various sizes, RoRo containers handle bulk waste efficiently, whether you’re managing construction debris or extensive site clearances.
RoRo Containers Are Ideal For:
Landscaping Projects: RoRo containers are ideal for efficiently handling and transporting bulky materials like soil, rocks, and vegetation.
Construction and Demolition: Simplify waste removal for large volumes of rubble, concrete, and site waste with our spacious RoRo containers.
Industrial Clearances: RoRos are perfect for factory or warehouse cleanouts, handling large amounts of bulky materials.
3. Skip Bags – Flexibility for Smaller Jobs
If you don’t need a full-sized skip, our skip bags offer a practical and flexible solution. Purchase in advance, fill at your pace, and we’ll collect it when you’re ready.
Skip Bags Are Perfect For:
Portable Solution for Tradespeople: Skip bags are lightweight and easy to transport, allowing tradespeople to fill multiple bags to leave at multiple sites. They’re perfect for jobs requiring flexibility and quick waste management on smaller projects.
Household Projects: Smaller household tasks, like decluttering or tidying up after a DIY job, don’t require a large skip. Skip bags are a more practical solution.
Garden Waste: If you’re tidying up the garden but don’t have enough waste to fill a full skip, skip bags are ideal for managing leaves, branches, and soil.
Pro Tip: Segregating Saves! If you’re only disposing of one waste stream, such as green waste, be sure to book a garden waste skip to avoid paying for a more expensive mixed waste skip. Also, sorting and disposing of waste by type makes processing and recycling each waste easier. For example, if most of your waste is rubble or brick, hiring an inert waste skip is a lot cheaper than a mixed-waste skip. For any additional non-inert materials, a skip bag is a great add-on to keep costs low while staying organised.
Sustainable Waste Disposal – A Greener Choice
One of our strongest selling points is our commitment to sustainability. All waste collected in our skips, RoRos and bags is taken to our recycling centre, where materials are sorted and processed. Our goal is zero-waste to landfill, meaning we aim to recycle as much material as possible, reducing the environmental impact of your project.
What Happens to Your Waste:
- Recycling: We recover recyclable materials including plastics, metals, and wood to ensure they don’t end up in a landfill and can be recycled and reused.
- Recycled Aggregates: Inert materials such as borken concrete, rubble and bricks are processed into various recycled aggregates, which are then reused in construction projects throughout Dorset and surrounding areas.
By choosing AMS, you can take comfort in knowing that your waste is handled responsibly, minimising your environmental footprint.
Why AMS’s Skip Hire Stands Out
Aside from competitive pricing and sustainable practices, we offer reliable delivery, expert advice on skip sizing, and tailored services across Dorset. With a modern fleet and full licensing for hazardous and non-hazardous materials, AMS ensures efficient, compliant waste disposal.

Whether you’re working on a large construction site or simply clearing out your garage, our affordable skip hire in Dorset offers a practical and cost-effective solution. With a commitment to sustainable disposal practices and a range of skip sizes to suit any project, AMS is your trusted partner for managing waste effectively.
