The [[Skip]] has been used in the UK primarily for [[Construction and Demolition Waste]] works since the 1960s, but these bins are also used as a versatile system for heavier, non-compressible wastes. They are constructed of metal and are delivered, collected, emptied and then returned (or sent to a new waste producer) via a dedicated [[Skip Lorry]] or [[Hooklift Lorry]] depending on the size of the [[Skip]]. This type of skip is distinct from the [[REL Skip]] and the [[FEL Skip]] which is separately listed on WikiWaste. | The [[Skip]] has been used in the UK primarily for [[Construction and Demolition Waste]] works since the 1960s, but these bins are also used as a versatile system for heavier, non-compressible wastes.
