What is a
roll on roll off skip?
A roll on roll off skip (RoRo) is a large waste container for storing high volumes of waste, heavy and bulky items. As the name suggests, they’re carried on the back of a flatbed lorry and then rolled on or off for delivery and collection.
RoRos are much bigger than standard skips and due to their size, they must be stored off road. Most roll on roll of skips are used for large volumes of commercial waste and construction projects. Unlike compactors or balers, RoRos are only used to store waste (including compacted waste produced by balers and compactors) but they can’t crush waste themselves.

Why do I need a
roll on roll off skip?
Roll on roll off skips are ideal for any commercial, retail, public service or industrial organisation that generates a very significant amount of waste. They can be delivered and collected from your business according to your needs, but there must be space available on site for the container to sit.
The main benefit of using a roll on roll off skip is their huge size. When dealing with lots of waste or heavy materials, it can be the best solution. You can easily store large amounts of waste either for a one-off project or on a regular basis without the need for lots of skips.
This saves both space on your site and reduces the number of deliveries and collections you should need. In turn that cuts the cost of waste collections for your organisation, while also reducing the number of journeys and fuel usage by licensed waste carriers – which positively impacts the environment.
If you don’t think your business produces enough waste to fill a RoRo, then there are a range of smaller skips you can use instead.
What can you put in
roll on roll off skips?
Almost any type of waste can go in a roll on roll off skip. Due to their size they’re often used to store bulky items and heavy construction waste – such as bricks, timber, and concrete. However, you can also put in bagged waste and compacted waste that’s been through a baler or compactor.
Some of the main waste types that businesses put in a RoRo include:
- General waste
- Metals
- Industrial waste
- Compacted waste
- Bulky waste – including packaging
You cannot put hazardous waste or liquids in a RoRo.
