Skip Size comparison

It can be challenging to choose which skip size is ideal for your needs if you have never rented a skip before. The diagram below may help you compare skip sizes when standing next to someone of average height, even though we indicate how many bin bags you can fit in a skip. Remember that while certain skip dimensions may vary slightly, they all have a fixed capacity in cubic yards.

Size FAQs

What skip size do i need for garden clearance?

For minor garden cleanups, tiny 2- and 4-yard skips are ideal. To be sure you won't need to book another skip, call us or choose a 6-year skip if you are unsure how much garden trash you will need.

What is the best solutions for commercial skip hire?

Commercial garbage management is best served by larger skips, such as roll-on/roll-off skips and rear-end loading skips. For businesses that generate substantial and ongoing garbage streams, the largest 40 yard skips are perfect.

The 16-yard maxi skips are perfect for getting rid of heavy, light, bulky items including packaging, plastics, and furniture.

Because fewer collections mean lower transportation costs and greenhouse gas emissions, RORO skips are a wonderful way to cut waste disposal costs. For companies that generate a lot of waste, the 40 yard containers are ideal for long-term waste management solutions.

What skip size do i need for domestic waste disposal?

For home waste disposal, do-it-yourself projects, garden waste, home remodeling projects, and trade rubbish, the smaller skip sizes—4, 6, and 8 yards—are ideal.

How much can i load my skip?

It's crucial to keep in mind that every skip, no matter how big or small, ought to be loaded evenly. This implies that the rubbish cannot be positioned above the skip's tallest sidewalls.

Overloading your skip will prevent it from being safely collected, thus you will be charged for a wasted journey.

Is there any waste restrictions?

Our skips are suitable for most materials. There also prohibited materials - hazardous waste such as vinyl, paints, electrical items, food waste etc. Please read details in our materials guide.

What are skip weight limits?

Weight limits are as follows.

2-4 skips: 2 tonnes for 2 yd skip, 4 tonnes for 4 yd skip, 6 tonnes for 6 yd skip.

8 yd - 16 yd skip has max weight limit 8 tonnes. 40 yd skip about 40 tonnes.

Most popular skip sizes are the 4- and 6-yard sizes, sometimes referred to as builder’s skips. These sizes are not only more adaptable, but they can also be utilized for heavier trash, including dirt or debris. Some heavy debris can fit in an 8-yard skip, but particularly heavy rubbish, such soil or solid rubble, can be too much. Larger skips, such 16- and 40-yard skips, are meant for heavier, bulkier rubbish, and because they are taller.
