Skip Hire Blog

Park your skip here!

Here we are once again, its Wednesdays TopSkips skip hire blog entry and time for the 3rd in our series of skip conversions by British designer Oliver Bishop-Young.
After a week in the pool and on the skate ramp, we’re going to slow it down a little and go for a stroll in the park as this time Oliver has created a ‘green space’ inside a skip, come to think of it with almost 90% of the contents of our skips being recycled, you could say it’s a green space in a green…space!
Anyway, over to Oliver…
“The urban landscape is dominated by cars and often lacking in green spaces. Building a park in the skip looks to address this. Skips are such good tools for claiming space in the city and sharing it with people, not cars; as demonstrated by my park in a skip on Brick Lane”.
And why not, it seems there’s plenty of takers for the park bench and even a bit of ‘bench envy’ from the chap standing, look at that disgruntled glance he’s displaying; his favourite bench is taken, we’ve all been there.
As Oliver says “The idea was to bring some much needed grass to the area and provide a space for the public to rest on a reclaimed park bench”.
A park bench in an urban setting; it’s a great conversion and I bet the local hobo couldn’t believe his luck!
