The 6 Cubic yard skip also known as the “Small Builders Skip” in some parts of the UK is a good starting choice as you can get more bulky items into them than a 4 yard skip.

Small kitchen to rip out then these are ideal, but as always watch the video to get a visual of the size and look at your waste to see if it’s right for you.

The workhorse of the skip hire world, and the most popular skip in the UK. It’s what all the builders use for the size and capacity. Seen across the land on building sites and outside peoples homes, I once saw one converted into a car and a boat ( I really need to get out more, I know)

The 4 cubic yard skip, often called a “Midi Skip” is ideal for kitchen and bathroom refits, and is available for hire everywhere in the UK.

A 2 cubic yard skip also known as a mini skip is mainly used for small house or garden jobs. It is not available everywhere in the UK just because in some areas, like London, it’s simply not cost effective to hire it out (once you’ve factored in permit charges, congestion charges etc.)

We came across this music video about skips and how nearly everyone seems to think hey it’s an empty skip let’s fill it with my junk even though someone else has paid for the hire of a skip
