Don’t Risk Cracked Drives, Blocked Access or Ugly Metal Skips
If you’ve ever hired a traditional skip, you’ll know the worry.
Will it crack the driveway?Will it block the car in?Will it scrape the pavement?Will it sit there for a week looking messy?
For many homeowners, that’s the biggest reason they avoid hiring a skip altogether.
That’s exactly why we created Silverback Skip Bags — a driveway-friendly, low-impact way to remove waste without the problems that come with heavy metal skips.
Why Traditional Skips Can Damage Driveways
Most people don’t realise how heavy skips actually are.
A full skip can weigh several tonnes.That weight sits directly on:
Block paving
Tarmac
Resin drives
Concrete
Slabs
Over time, this can cause:
❌ Cracks
❌ Dents
❌ Scratches
❌ Oil marks
❌ Sinking or uneven paving
And once it’s damaged… it’s expensive to fix.
Not worth the risk for a simple clear-out.
The Driveway-Safe Solution
Silverback Skip Bags work differently.
Instead of dropping a huge steel container onto your property, we use strong, flexible heavy-duty bags that sit lightly on the ground.
Then, when you’re ready, our crane trucks lift the bag straight up — not dragged, not scraped, not pushed.
So your driveway stays exactly how it was.
Clean. Protected. Undamaged.
How Our Skip Bags Protect Your Property
Lightweight Design
Empty bags weigh almost nothing, so there’s no heavy impact on your surface.
No Dragging or Sliding
We never drag waste across your drive like skip lorries sometimes do.
Crane Lift Collection
Bags are lifted vertically with our specialist crane — straight up and away.
Compact Size
Neat and tidy, without taking over your whole driveway.
No Oil or Rust Marks
No metal containers, no staining.
It’s a much cleaner, more careful way to work.
Perfect for Residential Homes
Skip bags are ideal if you live in:
Housing estates
New builds
Tight driveways
Block paved drives
Resin or decorative surfaces
Cul-de-sacs
Narrow roads
Places where a big skip simply doesn’t make sense.
Our customers regularly tell us they chose skip bags purely because they didn’t want a bulky skip outside their home.
And honestly — we don’t blame them.
What Jobs Are Skip Bags Good For?
Driveway-friendly doesn’t mean small jobs only.
Our bags handle:
Garden waste
Old decking & fencing
DIY renovation waste
Furniture & junk
Rubble & hardcore
Garage clear-outs
House moves
Landscaping materials
Strong enough for heavy loads. Gentle enough for your property.
Cleaner, Quieter & More Neighbour-Friendly Too
Another bonus most people don’t think about:
Skip bags are also:
✔ Less noisy
✔ Less intrusive
✔ Easier for parking
✔ Safer for pedestrians
✔ More discreet
No giant metal box outside your house for days.
Just a tidy bag that disappears when collected.
Much better for you — and your neighbours.
