Skip Hire Blog

Michael in our sales office received a call from a keen reader of "The Skip" magazine (Topskips publishes this magazine every month as The Voice of The Skip Hire Industry in the UK and Ireland") asking why skips were shaped liked skips and not like boxes!

Michael panicked and quickly passed the call to John, who then proceeded to explain that the unique shape of skips is due to the need to stack them when they're empty - can you imagine the room that would be taken up in a skip yard if all the skips were box shaped?

Needless to say, we're brushing up on everyones sales training - we never expected anyone to ask that question before!

We do have a number of celebrity customers at Topskips - we'd never tell anyone about them though: client confidentiality is paramount to us. You never know who wants to know about famous people throwing things away!

We do feel safe in sharing this with you. Yesterday we had skip hire orders from Mohammed Ali, Sharon Osbourne and Tom Finney. None of which were the original articles, but all of which are very welcome onboard as Topskips customers!

We had a customer yesterday saying she had something unusual to be taken away.

When we asked what, the lady calmly said “HORSE SHIT”

Oh, the glamour of working in the skip hire industry....
