When it comes to waste disposal, choosing the right skip size is crucial. Whether you’re clearing out your home, doing a renovation, or handling a construction project, finding the correct skip size can save you time, money, and stress. At WasteOnline, we offer a wide variety of skip sizes to suit all needs.

Our skips are available for both domestic and commercial projects, and our expert team is always on hand to help you choose the right size.

How to Choose the Right Skip Size

Selecting the right skip size is essential for your project. Here’s what to consider when deciding:

Project Size:
If your project involves light waste like garden clippings or small DIY jobs, a 4-yard or 6-yard skip will suffice. For larger construction jobs or full home renovations, the 8-yard or 12-yard skips will be more appropriate.

Waste Type:
Certain types of waste, such as heavier items like bricks or rubble, are best suited for smaller skips. If you need to dispose of lighter items, such as packaging or wood, larger skips will help accommodate the volume.

Space Available:
Consider where you’ll be placing the skip. Smaller skips are ideal for tight spaces, while larger skips require more room for placement. You can often place a skip on your driveway, but if space is limited, a smaller option may be best.

What Type of Waste Can Go in a Skip?

Choosing the right skip size is closely related to the type of waste you’re disposing of. At WasteOnline, we accept various waste types, including:

Domestic Waste:
Household items, furniture, general rubbish.

Construction Waste:
Bricks, rubble, wood, and light building materials.

Garden Waste:
Soil, grass, leaves, garden cuttings, and small branches.

Mixed Waste:
A combination of materials, but please ensure none of the restricted items are included.

What Can’t Go in a Skip?

While skips are great for many types of waste, some materials are prohibited due to environmental regulations. These include:

Hazardous Waste (e.g., chemicals, asbestos, and paints)

Electrical Appliances (e.g., TVs, fridges, and microwaves)

Batteries and Fluorescent Tubes

Tyres
