Skip (container)

A skip is a large open-top waste container (OTC) designed for loading into the special type of lorry. Instead of being wheeled into the bin lorry; a skip is removed and is replaced by empty skip and then tipped into a landfill site or transfer station.

Commonly, this was used at the construction sites for removal of renovation debris, removal of built-in cupboards and during the en-bloc. At Tampines Court, after the delivery of vacant possession, 1 month before the expected demolition, they will send skips to the designated blocks. Sim Lian do not care - the workers will have to dismantle everything before demolition starts.
