If you are decluttering a home and getting rid of garden items too there will be a lot of rubbish. Renovating a property usually also means there will be lots of rubbish. Waste materials have a tendency to build up fast resulting in a huge mess. Skip hire is a great way of keeping all your waste in one place which makes it easier to manage a clearance project or renovation work.
But what is the right size skip for the job you are doing? Obviously that will depend on the size of the job in hand.
We are going to look at what size skip you use for different size projects in and around the home.
SKIPS
MINI SKIPS
Mini skips are 2 or 3 cubic yards. These are usually for the smaller clearance jobs, such as a garage clearance. They are also perfect for small amounts of soil, brick and hardcore. On average a 2 yard skip will hold approx 20 bin bags. This size skip is also a great choice if the space is tight at a property, they take up a lot less room than a midi skip.
MIDI SKIPS
For a larger house clearance , midi skips are a very popular size. They are ideal as well for larger gardens. With a capacity of 4 cubic yards they can hold between 35 and 45 big bags of waste. This size skip makes them a great choice for home owners who need to remove larger items and some bulky items around the house. 4 yard skips are popular with builders who are looking to carry out a bathroom renovation or replacing kitchen units. Midi skips are also a great option for landlords where they need to clear out a tenancy property. This skip is not too big if they have a small driveway or access is tight.
SMALL BUILDERS SKIP
Small builders skips are popular with builders and property developers. Available in 6 cubic yards and they will hold between 50 and 60 full bin bags of waste. For larger home renovations and garden clearances, 6 yard skips are more beneficial. They are also ideal to dispose of large bulky items. Landscape gardeners and tree surgeons will use this size for trees, greenery, branches and also topsoil. A 6 yard builders skip takes up a larger area on a driveway, this needs to be taken into consideration before hiring the skip.
BUILDERS SKIPS
Builders skips are the largest size offered for domestic premises. This size is also commonly used in the commercial sector and construction industry. 8 yard skips can also be used for the larger house clearance where there are lots of large bulky items. If you need to dispose of large quantities of green/greenery waste, this skip is a good option. If you are completely stripping out a kitchen or bathroom then an 8 yard skip would be the ideal size you are looking for.
