Skip bags are becoming increasingly popular for the management of waste in projects, such as house & garage clearances to property renovations.
Their rise in popularity is likely linked to the various benefits that distinguish them from traditional skips.
In this article, we take a closer look at the advantages of using skip bags, particularly when it comes to smaller projects or in sites with limited space.
Convenience and Flexibility
When determining the best waste management solution, skip bags offer distinct advantages over traditional skips when it comes to ease of use. Common reasons why people, businesses and tradespeople choose skip bags as a convenient alternative to regular skip hire include:
- Available space: Skip bags are much smaller than skips and far more flexible in terms of where they can be placed.
- Location of waste: Skip bags are convenient for situations where the waste is situated in hard-to-reach areas or tight spaces.
- Volume of waste: Skip bags are ideal for smaller quantities of waste that do not warrant a full-sized skip.
- Easier to store when not in use: Skip bags are sold pre-packaged making them easier to store and transport when not in use.
For example, a skip bag would be a better choice if there is less than a tonne of green waste to remove and if the waste is located inside a garden wall at the front of a house.
Types of Waste Collection
The flexibility of skip bags extends to the variety of waste streams they can contain. This is great news for individuals and businesses who are committed to waste separation as part of their efforts for efficient waste management practices.
Waste that can be disposed of using skip bags include:
- General & household waste
- Concrete waste
- Green, garden waste
- Inert, rubble, brick waste
- Plasterboard waste
Cost-Effectiveness and Recycling
Opting for a skip bag can lead to savings in both costs and environmental impact. For example, using multiple skip bags allows for waste to be segregated into specific types (e.g. plasterboard, garden waste, inert waste), which is a useful way to avoid the higher prices associated with disposing of mixed waste. Waste segregation also helps to ensure a higher percentage of the waste collected is recycled.
Also, when it comes to saving money, using skip bags can be a helpful way to ensure you don’t pay for more waste disposal than you need. For example, ordering skip bags as and when you fill them as opposed to trying to guess the correct size of skip you require will avoid the risk of paying for a full skip that is only part full.
