10 Yard FEL Skip

The 10 Yard Front End Loader, FEL, skip is one of the most popular and widely used commercial waste containers in the UK. Designed for businesses that generate high volumes of waste, it offers increased capacity while remaining efficient for scheduled collections. Commonly used by supermarkets, large retail units, hospitality venues, distribution centres and industrial facilities.

  • Dimensions: (H) 1700mm x (W) 1800mm x (D) 1500mm
  • Features: Heavy duty steel construction, fully enclosed and lockable design.
  • Capacity: 10 cubic yards

A 10 Yard FEL, Front End Loader, skip is a large capacity, fully enclosed steel waste container that is emptied using a specialist front loading collection vehicle. It is designed for commercial premises that produce substantial waste volumes and require a reliable, high capacity solution.

The front lifting pockets allow the container to be mechanically lifted and emptied safely and efficiently, making it ideal for regular scheduled collections.

This container is typically chosen by businesses that:

  • Produce high and consistent waste volumes
  • Want to reduce collection frequency by increasing on site capacity
  • Have suitable access for front end loader vehicles
  • Operate in retail, hospitality, logistics or manufacturing sectors

The 10 yard FEL is often considered the standard large commercial container due to its balance of capacity and practicality.

External Dimensions: Height 1700mm, Width 1800mm, Depth 1500mm

Capacity: 10 cubic yards

The increased height provides additional storage volume, making this container suitable for sites that generate large quantities of packaging, general waste or recyclables.

Access Requirements:

  • Minimum overhead clearance of approximately 4 metres
  • Clear frontal access for lifting arms
  • Stable, level ground surface
  • Adequate turning space for a commercial waste vehicle

Access restrictions are one of the most common causes of missed or delayed collections. Our team can assess suitability during your free waste audit to ensure smooth operations.

The 10 yard FEL skip can be used for a range of commercial waste streams, including:

  • General commercial waste
  • Dry mixed recycling
  • Cardboard and paper
  • Plastic packaging
  • Light industrial waste
  • Retail and hospitality waste

Separate containers may be required to comply with UK waste segregation regulations, including current and upcoming recycling legislation.

We can advise on correct waste separation to improve recycling rates and maintain full compliance with environmental regulations.

A 10 yard FEL skip is typically suitable for:

  • Supermarkets and large retail stores
  • Restaurants, pubs and hotels with high footfall
  • Distribution and logistics centres
  • Manufacturing facilities
  • Large office complexes
  • Industrial units with consistent waste output

If your site regularly overfills multiple 1100 litre bins or requires frequent collections, upgrading to a 10 yard FEL can improve operational efficiency and reduce overall costs.

Space and vehicle access remain essential considerations. Where access is restricted, alternative container solutions may be recommended.

We offer free waste audits to assess waste volume, waste type, collection frequency, site access and compliance requirements to ensure the most cost effective solution for your business.
