Roll-on/Roll-off Containers

Roll-on/Roll-off containers are large bulk containers and suitable for a variety of wastes including mixed construction, inert (20yd only) and segregated wastes such as timber.

They are perfect when you have space on site with lots of wastes to remove, such as a demolition project or a large re-fit.

Also known as Ro-Ro’s, bulk containers and hook-lifts, they are perfect for when a skip is simply not sufficient.

Roll-on/Roll-off containers come in various sizes (Approximate Dimensions):

The 35yd and 40yd are suitable for most bulky waste such as mixed construction, office clearance, wood and metal. Heavier wastes like bricks, rubble, soil, concrete and foundry sand are only permitted in a 20yd container due to the weight of the load (these materials in a larger container would make the vehicle unsafe for transportation on the highway).

The larger 35 and 40yd containers have 2 huge doors at the end, rather like a shipping container, to load wastes straight in. 

Alternatively, if you have a loading shovel on site you can tip straight into the top of the container. 

20yd Roll-on/Roll-off containers are designed for heavier wastes, but are also a good alternative to mixed wastes if a skip is too small but the 35yd is too high. The 20yd has low sides so waste can easily be loaded by hand or mechanical means.

Prices for these services are typically charged as a transport charge plus the cost of disposal by weight. So if you were looking to have a few skips but have space for a Ro-Ro, this may be a cheaper option for you.
