Skip Sizes
Often, you’ll find that understanding the different skip sizes we offer at Skip Hire Cape Town in Cape Town is essential for choosing the right solution for your waste removal needs.
If you’re dealing with residential waste, like garden leftovers, a mini skip is a great fit. It can handle around two Venter trailers of rubbish.
For commercial clients with light industrial waste, the midi skip is ideal, capable of holding about 30 municipal bins worth of trash.
However, if you’re on a construction site with considerable waste, you’ll want the maxi skip. It’s almost double the size of the midi skip, making it perfect for handling large-scale waste.
Understanding these options ensures you get the most cost-effective, efficient solution for your needs.

Eco-Friendly Waste Management Solutions
As a skip hire company in Cape Town, we can provide eco-friendly waste management solutions for our clients by ensuring proper sorting, recycling, and disposal of waste materials.
Collection
When clients rent a skip from our company, they fill it with various types of waste, such as general waste, builders rubble, wood, metal, and electronics. Once the skip is full, our team collects it and transports it to a material recovery facility (MRF) for sorting and processing.
Sorting
At the MRF, waste materials are sorted into different categories, such as paper, cardboard, glass, plastic, and metal. This is done using a combination of manual labor and automated machinery, including conveyor belts, screens, magnets, and optical sorters.
Processing
Once sorted, the materials are processed to be used in the manufacturing of new products. For example, paper and cardboard are pulped and turned into new paper products, while glass is crushed and melted to create new glass items. Metals are melted and reformed into new metal products, and plastics are cleaned, shredded, and melted to create new plastic items.
Recycling and Landfill Reduction
By properly sorting and recycling materials, our skip hire company can help conserve natural resources, reduce pollution, and support a circular economy.
This contributes to the environmental benefits of recycling, such as reducing the amount of waste sent to landfills and incinerators, conserving natural resources, and reducing pollution from the extraction and processing of raw materials.
Compliance with Regulations
As a skip hire company, it’s essential to comply with local waste management regulations and guidelines. This includes ensuring that hazardous materials are disposed of safely and that waste is transported to licensed facilities for recycling or disposal.
By offering eco-friendly waste management solutions, our skip hire company can help clients in Cape Town reduce their environmental impact and contribute to a more sustainable use of resources. Proper sorting and recycling of materials not only benefit the environment but also create jobs, generate revenue, and save energy compared to producing new materials from raw resources.
SHCT is a proud member of the Institute of Waste Management Southern African (IWMSA) and E-Waste Association of South Africa (EWASA).
