This 20 yard roll-on roll-off container is designed for sites that generate substantial amounts of strip-out material, packaging, timber, and light construction waste.
Its size makes it ideal for businesses handling ongoing waste or large one-off demolition or clearance projects.
Because RORO vehicles are much larger than standard skip lorries, the delivery area must have sufficient width, height clearance, and turning room.
