  3. Different types of skip containers Open skip This is a skip design that is found in construction sites, and it is used for loading waste materials with much ease. Mobile skip bins This is a skip design that is usually set on a trailer that comes with four wheels. You have to use a lifting mechanism to load or offload the skip from the trailer. Closed skip This is a great skip design that prevents any unauthorized use of your waste container. It is also designed in a way that the volume of the disposed waste does not exceed the set maximum limit. Roll-on and Roll-off skip This skip design is similar to open skip, however, it has to be lifted to a skip loader wagon. This is a skip design appropriate for industrial settings and not right for domestic use.
