Marrel Skip Bins

These are the classic skip bins that most people think of for rubbish removal. Suitable for both domestic and commercial waste, they range from 2 cubic meters to 17 cubic meters. With high sides and a short length, this bin fits in the space of a typical car and can be equipped with wheelbarrow access upon request.

Featuring a large rear door and a rectangular shape, these bins make large jobs requiring a bobcat easier. They range from 4m³ to 30m³ and are primarily used for commercial waste disposal, covering all types of jobs.

Ideal for awkward areas, mobile skip bins do not require a council permit as other skip bins do, saving you time and effort. These bins are perfect for general waste, light green waste, and light building waste. They are registered for the road and can be towed by a car.
