Profesional Skip Hire company located in Motherwell, Scotland
Did you know? The origins of using the word skip as an open container for rubbish goes back many centuries. The word comes from the Old English term “Skep”, which was used to describe a basket. Going even further back, this originates from the Old Norse term “Skeppa” - also meaning basket.
Why are skips yellow? In 1971, regulations for skip hire were implemented by the government, requiring all skips to be painted in a vibrant shade of yellow. The choice of yellow was based on its superior visibility in low-light conditions. Since skips were frequently positioned on roads, this measure aimed to reduce the risk of collisions. Here at Motherwell Skips, we pride ourselves on our wide variety of skip hire options available, covering both commercial and domestic uses, at highly competitive prices. We aim to provide our customers with same day skip hire where possible, with flexible delivery options.
