BabySkip offers a simple, flexible alternative to traditional skip hire. Instead of having a large metal skip delivered to your home for a limited time, you simply buy a BabySkip bag, fill it at your own pace and book a collection whenever you're ready.
Whether your project takes a weekend or several months, BabySkip gives you complete flexibility.
In this guide, we'll cover everything you need to know before buying a BabySkip, including where to buy one, which size is right for your project, what you can and can't put inside, how collections work and why more homeowners are choosing skip bags over traditional skips.
What is a BabySkip?
A BabySkip is a heavy-duty woven skip bag designed to make waste disposal simple.
Unlike a traditional skip, it arrives folded, making it easy to transport home and store away until you need it. Once you're ready to begin your project, simply unfold the bag, place it in a suitable location and start filling it.
When the bag is full, you simply book a collection and we'll do the rest.
One of the biggest advantages of BabySkip is flexibility. There are no strict hire periods or pressure to finish your project before a skip needs to be removed. You can fill your BabySkip over several days, weeks or even months before arranging collection.
BabySkip is ideal for:
- Garden clear-outs
- DIY projects
- Home renovations
- House moves
- Shed and garage clearances
- Landscaping projects
- General household waste
- Seasonal decluttering & more!
Whether you're disposing of heavy materials like soil and rubble or bulky household furniture, there's a BabySkip to suit your project.
How Does BabySkip Work?
Using a BabySkip couldn't be easier.
Step 1 – Buy Your BabySkip
Purchase your BabySkip from online or from one of our trusted stockists.
The bag arrives folded, making it easy to transport and store until you're ready to use it.
Step 2 – Fill Your Bag
Place the bag on a flat, accessible surface before filling it with your waste.
Depending on the bag you've chosen, it can be used for household waste, renovation waste, garden waste or heavier materials such as soil, stone and rubble.
There's no need to rush - you can fill it whenever it suits you.
Step 3 – Book Your Collection
Once your BabySkip is full, simply book your collection online or by phone.
Step 4 – We Collect It
Our specialist collection vehicle lifts the bag and transports the waste to KeyGreen’s licensed waste facility where it is sorted and processed appropriately.
