35 Yard RoRo Skip Hire for High-Volume Light Waste

The 35-yard RoRo is mainly a commercial and industrial container. Distribution centres and retailers use it for cardboard, shrink-wrap and polystyrene; manufacturers for production offcuts and pallets; and facilities teams for large refurbishment or decommissioning projects. On construction sites, it handles bulky, low-density waste during fit-out, and is often booked as part of a construction site clearance. It is not normally suited to domestic use.

Businesses with segregated recyclables may also need regular commercial waste collection alongside a RoRo – particularly in Wales, where workplace recycling rules require key recyclables to be separated.

A 35-yard container full of dense material would be far too heavy to transport, so heavy waste is not accepted. Even light waste can add up if it is wet or compacted. The supplier sets the weight allowance, which varies and is confirmed at booking.

With sides around 2 metres high, loading over the side by hand is impractical. Most users load by machine, from a raised loading dock or through a rear door where the container is fitted with one. Keep the load evenly spread and below the top edge so it can be sheeted.

The hook-loader needs a long, straight run on firm, level ground – typically around 25–30 metres including the vehicle – with overhead clearance for lifting. Loading yards, car parks and site compounds are the usual locations. The supplier confirms access requirements before delivery.

Because of its size, a 35-yard RoRo is placed on private land in almost all cases, so a council permit is rarely relevant. Any road placement would need approval from the relevant council – the highway authority in England, the local council in Scotland or the local authority in Wales.

Hire terms vary by supplier and are often set up as ongoing arrangements with exchanges on request or on a schedule. Each collection is documented with a waste transfer note under your duty of care, and the waste goes to an authorised facility. For businesses running several sites, we can coordinate containers centrally through WastePrime.

The next size down is the 30-yard RoRo, with slightly lower sides. The next size up is the 40-yard RoRo, the largest standard container.

If a 35-yard RoRo is not available locally, we will usually recommend a 30-yard or a 40-yard container, depending on the volume and density of the waste, how it will be loaded and supplier availability in your area.
