Our 8-yard skips typically measure approximately 12 feet long, 6 feet wide, and 4 feet high. This size is ideal for medium to large projects, such as full home clear-outs, larger garden works, or minor construction projects.
An 8-yard skip is perfect for a variety of projects, including domestic clear-outs, medium-sized garden landscaping, kitchen and bathroom refits, and small to medium construction projects. It’s our most popular size for both residential and commercial clients due to its versatility.
An 8-yard skip can typically hold about 70-80 black bin bags worth of waste. It’s suitable for mixed waste types, including general household waste, garden debris, soil, rubble, and non-hazardous building waste.
If the skip is placed on private property, no permit is required. However, if you need to place the skip on a public road or pavement, a permit from the local council is necessary. We can assist in obtaining this permit for you.
For environmental and safety reasons, certain items are prohibited in our skips, including asbestos, fridges/freezers, tires, batteries, gas cylinders, hazardous chemicals, and any type of liquid waste. Please contact us if you’re unsure about a specific item.
The standard hire period for our 8-yard skips is up to 14 days, but we can accommodate shorter or longer periods depending on your needs. Please discuss your requirements with us for a tailored solution.
The cost of hiring an 8-yard skip varies depending on location, hire duration, and whether a council permit is needed. We offer competitive and transparent pricing, and you can obtain a free, no-obligation quote through our website or by contacting us directly.
Ensure that there is sufficient space for the skip and that the delivery area is accessible. If the skip is to be placed on a public road, make sure the area is clear of vehicles or other obstacles. We also recommend protecting the surface where the skip will be placed, especially if it’s on a driveway or pavement.
