Managing Hardcore and Light Rubble


Understanding the types of rubble your project generates is crucial for selecting the appropriate skip. Here’s a quick overview:


  1. Hardcore Building Rubble: Includes materials like concrete, bricks, and other heavy construction debris. Best suited for the 6m³ lugger skip.

  2. Light Rubble: Includes materials such as ceiling boards, drywall, and other lighter construction debris. Suitable for the 11m³ lugger skip.


6m3 REL (Rear End Loader) Skip

The REL skip is perfect for handling compactable waste and is designed to remain on-site indefinitely. Here’s how it works:


  1. Delivery: The REL skip is delivered to your site by a skip truck

  2. Operation: When full, a compactor truck reverses up to the skip. The operator attaches a top reeve pulley system to a hook on the skip.

  3. Emptying: The skip is lifted on a pivot, and the compactable waste is deposited into the truck’s load mouth and compacted.

  4. Return: The skip is placed back on the ground, ready for continued use.


This type of skip is ideal for sites with high volumes of compactable waste, like commercial buildings, ensuring a seamless and ongoing waste disposal process.


These skips are often referred to as:

  • REL skips,

  • compactable waste skips, and

  • rear end loader skips.
