2 Yard Skip Hire

Skips are sized in a bit of an old-fashioned way and are usually referred to in cubic yards.

These skips also have names which can make it difficult to know exactly what you are getting. For example, some companies call a 6 yard skip a ‘Builders Skip’, whilst others call an 8 yard skip a ‘Builders Skip’.

The smallest skips are usually 2 cubic yards in size and are called a ‘Mini Skip’. There are 4 yard ‘Midi Skips’ as well.

Going up from this is the ‘Builders’ skips which are 6 - 8 cubic yards. After this there are the ‘Maxi’ and ‘Extra-Large’ skips which range from 10 to 16 yards.

Garden waste can be thrown into most sizes of skip. However, if your garden waste is predominantly heavy and dense rubbish like soil or rubble, then you will be limited to an 8 yard skip in most circumstances. Generally, a 4 or 6 yard skip is the more suitable for a typical garden or small redesign project.

Most skips (Mini, Midi and Builders) are perfect for construction waste and usually a much better option than our 'Man and Van' or Skip Bag service. They are designed for heavy and dense waste. There are limits as the skip must be liftable and capable of being transported, so usually an 8 yard skip is the largest standard skip for large amounts of heavy construction waste. There are, however, larger skips, 10 - 12 - 14 & 16 Yard Skips, which can be supplied.

General skips can be restrictive if you have a specialist waste or a very mixed waste collection.

The following items are prohibited from skips unless a prior agreement (and a specialist skip) has been supplied:

Remember, there is usually weight limits on larger skips (over 8 cubic yards) so if you are planning on filling your skip with very heavy and dense waste, do contact us so we can provide a specialist or more suitable skip.

You can cancel your order or update your delivery date as long as the skip is not out for delivery. If it is out for delivery a wasted journey fee will apply. If the skip has been delivered and you decide you need a bigger one, you will need to order another skip once you fill your existing one.

If you have special access requirements like low arches or narrow entrances, please contact us before booking. We may be able to supply a specialist vehicle.

Skips are uplifted between 8 am and 6 pm
