Roll On Roll Off skips, often referred to as RoRo skips, are large open-topped containers used for disposing of a substantial amount of waste. They are often used on construction sites, in industrial settings, or for large-scale waste clearances.
They differ from standard skips, as they are larger and have a differing design, which allows them to be easily and efficiently rolled off the delivery vehicle at the site and rolled back once filled. As such, they are a popular skip hire choice for commercial and industrial projects that generate a lot of waste.
