How big is a 4 yard skip?
A 4 yard skip is also known as a midi skip. It is ideal for small household projects. There’s enough space in a 4 yard skip for around 30 to 40 rubbish bags of waste – that’s approximately 2 to 3 card-boot loads. It’s the right size for a small bathroom renovation, garage clear-out or garden tidy. A 4 yard skip will fit on most domestic driveways without difficulty and because the sides of the container are low, it’s easy to load things into.
| Size | Capacity | Length | Width | Height |
| 4 cubic yards | 30-40 bin bags | 6′ 0″ | 4′ 3″ | 3′ 2″ |
| 3 cubic metres | 30-40 bin bags | 1.83 m | 1.3 m | 0.97 m |
What can I put in a skip?
General household waste, building materials, garden material and old furniture are the items most commonly put in a skip. Some materials are strictly banned however. The things you cannot put in a skip include:
- Mattresses
- Fridges and freezers
- Any hazardous material
- Paint tins
- Plasterboard
- Some electrical items
What do I need to know about booking a 4 yard skip?
Delivery and collection are included with the hire fee. It will be delivered between the hours of 7 am and 5 pm.
You can have the skip for up to 14 days. If you require it for longer, we will need to discuss this with you before it is booked.
Where can I put my skip?
The skip should be placed on private land, for most domestic homes that would be your driveway or garden. If you don’t have an area suitable, you can have the skip placed on the public highway but you will need a permit from your local council. It is your responsibility to apply for the correct permit, and the cost is not included in the skip hire fee.
