Waste Management Services
Al Ameen Engineering has been making waste skips, dustbins and other waste materials for past 15 years. They have been one of the forefront in Dubai Municipality and regularly supply waste skips to them. We have been also serving the local waste management companies and also help them modify the compactors for them. Below are some of the services we can do for you.

A Waste Skip can be described as a large open-topped waste container which is designed for loading onto a special type of lorry. or replaced by an empty skip, and then tipped at a landfill site or transfer station (waste management).
Whether you own a residential or commercial property, large quantities of waste that are produced by either of these is especially important to dispose of in the correct manner. Here’s why it’s a good idea to buy a skip bin when disposing of large quantities of waste:
Typically skip bins have a shape: the longitudinal cross-section of the skip bin is either a trapezoid or two stacked trapezoids. The lower trapezoid has the smaller edge at the bottom of the skip bin, and a longer edge at the top. The smaller edge on either end is lower which makes it easier to load.
Where there is an upper trapezoid, it has the smaller edge at the top. At either end of the skip bin there is a sloping floor or wall. There are usually two lugs on each side of the bin onto which chains can be attached, permitting the heavy skip bin to be lifted onto and off a Skip lorry. A special skip-carrying lorry or crane is used.
One end of the skip sometimes has a large door that hinges down to allow manual loading and unloading, these Skips are called 'Drop Door Skips'. Skips are usually durable and tough, made to withstand rough use by tradespeople and laborers. The size of skip bins can vary greatly depending on their use, with sizes ranging from small 2-yard mini skips to the very large 40 yard roll-on roll-off skips. Even though these large bins can store many tons of waste, most lorries are limited to carrying around 8 tons (8,000 kg) of material in the container.

Types of Waste Skips –
- Open skips allow easier loading of waste materials and are commonly found on construction sites.
- Closed skips are more secure and prevent unauthorized use. They ensure that the volume of waste does not exceed the maximum limit.
- Roll-on and roll-off (RORO) skips are similar to open skips, but instead of being lifted onto a skip loader wagon by chains, they are rolled onto a wagon with a hook. They are more common as industrial containers and are not suitable for domestic use.
- Mobile skip bins are usually set on a trailer with four wheels. A lifting mechanism is used to load and unload the skip from the trailer. Normal sizes used in Australia are 3m3, 4m3 and 6m3. However, sizes ranging from 8m3, 10m3, and 12m3 are also available for larger waste management jobs
Uses of Waste Skips Skips are commonly used to hold open-topped loads of construction and demolition waste, garden waste or other waste and litter types. The construction debris may originate from a building, renovation, or demolition site; building supplies can be delivered to a site in a skip that is later used to remove waste.
Skips are also used for various cleaning-out jobs that need much material to be taken away, and at factories producing large quantities of scrap metal. The material in the skip may be taken to a landfill, recycled or recovered/disposed of in some other way.
There are wide range of uses of skip bins including construction building, home renovations, handyman maintenance or repair projects, garden or green clean up.
Our companies typically print 'level fill' on the sides of skips to instruct users that the contents should not fill or have contents showing above the height of the sides of the skip. This is in part for safety so that contents do not fall out posing a risk to passers-by, and is also aimed at maximizing revenue for the skip companies
