Choosing the Right Skip Size
Getting the right size can save you money. Here’s a rough guide:
- 2-yard skips: Perfect for small jobs and garden tidy ups.
- 4-yard skips: Good for bigger jobs like clearing out a room.
- 8-yard skips: Are a great all-rounder for most home renovations.
- 12-yard skips: Ideal for really big projects or heavy commercial waste.
Still unsure? Read our guide on skip sizes or give our team a shout for more tailored advice.
Tip: It’s usually cheaper to go for the bigger size than booking another skip altogether.
Good To Know: Property Protection and Safety
When booking a skip it’s a good idea to think about how we can protect our property and stay safe while making the whole process as hassle-free as possible. Here’s how we can keep everything looking good and avoid any unnecessary costs:
- Check Your Driveway Can Handle It: Before getting a skip, we should have a good look at the condition of our driveway or the surface where the skip is going to sit. If our driveway is a new one, is a bit rough or has some weak bits, it might be better to put the skip on the road or somewhere a bit sturdier.
- Use Some Protective Boards: To stop any damage to our property, we can put some chipboard or MDF boards underneath the skip – it’s just a simple step that makes all the difference in keeping everything safe and damage-free.
- Pick the Right Skip Size: Overfilling a skip can cost more money and create safety hazards. Whether it’s a bit of garden tidy, a construction project or just a one-off DIY job, the right size skip makes all the difference.
- Check What You Can Put In It: Putting the wrong sort of waste in can result in extra charges or rejected collections, so it’s just as well to follow the guidelines the skip hire company gives us.
- Clear the Area: When the skip is collected, we need to make sure the area around it is clear for the lorry to get in and out safely.
- Local Rules: Each council has its own set of rules about where skips can be put, how long they can stay for, and what size they can be.
