Filling a gap in the industry

Recognising how scarce service, manufacturing and spare-parts resources were within the Scottish waste and recycling industry, Caledonia Containers launched a dedicated division to meet those needs.

Our experienced team is ready to manufacture, refurbish and repair every type of skip and waste container, from the smallest builders' skips to the largest roll-on roll-off compactors. Our inspection, servicing, fabrication and repair facilities keep your containers in first-class condition.

More than skips

Alongside our core services we offer steam cleaning, shot blasting, painting, logo application, custom graphics and spare-parts procurement.

Your fleet, inspected

We carry out thorough inspections of our customers' equipment and provide reports on its condition, safety and lifespan. We then suggest tailored solutions to keep your fleet of containers in top condition and ready for immediate use.

In today's cost-conscious, competitive market — with waste disposal costs on the rise — it is crucial that your containers project a professional image and keep pace with evolving regulations on visibility, containment, load restraint and transport.
