An 8 Yard FEL, Front End Loader, skip is a fully enclosed steel waste container that is emptied using a specialist front loading collection vehicle. Unlike standard wheelie bins, an FEL skip is designed for higher volume waste output. The lifting pockets on the front of the container allow the vehicle to mechanically lift and empty the skip safely and efficiently.
This container is typically chosen by businesses that:
- Generate consistent high volumes of waste
- Require fewer collections with larger capacity
- Have suitable access and space for mechanical lifting
- Operate in retail, hospitality, manufacturing or distribution sectors
FEL skips are a popular choice across all industires.
External Dimensions: Height 1600mm, Width 1800mm ,Depth 1400mm
Capacity: 8 cubic yards
Although the container holds 8 cubic yards internally, sufficient surrounding space is required for safe operation.
Access Requirements
- Minimum overhead clearance of approximately 4 metres
- Clear front access for lifting arms
- Level ground surface
- Sufficient turning circle for a commercial waste vehicle
Poor access is one of the main causes of failed collections, so it is important to assess site suitability before installation. Our team can advise during your free waste audit.
The 8 yard FEL skip can be used for multiple commercial waste streams, including:
General waste, Dry mixed recycling, Paper and cardboard, Plastics, Commercial packaging waste, Light industrial waste.
Separate containers are recommended where waste segregation is required under UK waste legislation, including the Simpler Recycling regulations.
If you are unsure which waste streams apply to your business, we can provide guidance to ensure compliance and maximise recycling rates.
An 8 yard FEL skip is typically suitable for:
- Supermarkets and retail units
- Restaurants, pubs and hotels
- Distribution centres
- Manufacturing sites
- Office complexes
- Large commercial premises
If your site currently overflows 1100 litre bins or requires multiple large wheelie bins, upgrading to an FEL skip may improve efficiency and reduce overall costs.
However, space and access are key considerations. If access is restricted, a smaller container or alternative solution may be more appropriate.
We offer free waste audits to assess: Waste volume, Waste type, Collection frequency, Site access, Compliance requirements
