Skip Sizes Available in Plymouth
Here is a breakdown of common skip sizes in Plymouth and across the UK. The size of skips is determined by the cubic capacity measured in yards which is different than the length of the skip.
Why is this so important when hiring a skip? Because you can order a too large skip and pay more than you should, or too small and pay for another one.
But don’t worry, below are skip sizes with the relevant information about each to get the idea of the right size you need to order:
- 2 yard mini skips hold about 20 bags / 6.5 wheelie bins / 2 tonnes of waste. They were regularly used for very small jobs, but the increased use of the cheaper man and van clearance and skip bags means they have become quite rare nowadays.
- 4 yard midi skips hold about 25-35 bags / 13 wheelie bins / 4 tonnes of waste. They are ideal for garden clearance or bathroom and kitchen refits and similar domestic uses.
- 6 yard skips hold about 55-60 bags / 19 wheelie bins / 6 tonnes of waste. They are the most popular types of skip and are ideal for removing a large bathroom, a medium-sized kitchen, and other DIY building projects.
- 8 yard skips hold about 80 bags / 25 wheelie bins / 8 tonnes of waste. They are the most common skip size hired when it comes to shop refits, complete house and office clearance jobs, digging out the foundations of house extensions, and other larger excavation jobs. They are the biggest skips available for heavy waste like rubble, soil and concrete. They are often known as the ‘builders skip’.
- 10 yard skips hold about 100 bags / 32 wheelie bins / 10 tonnes of waste. They are ideal for large clearances of light rubbish.
- 12 yard maxi skips hold about 100-120 bags / 32-40 wheelie bins / 12 tonnes of waste. They are ideal for large amounts of plastic, metal, and packaging waste, although no heavy waste materials can be used. Ensure you have enough space in your garden or driveway since a permit will be required if they are placed roadside.
Skip sizes go up to 40 yards and are more suitable for industrial and commercial clients. For larger sizes please contact us for more information. For smaller sizes, feel free to request a quote and compare skip prices in Plymouth.
Skip Hiring Prices in Plymouth
Some firms know people aren’t as informed about skip hire prices and may charge extortionate amounts. Therefore, it’s worth having a general idea about what you can expect to pay so you don’t get ripped off. Below are average prices for various skip sizes:
| Skip Size | No. of Bags | Average Cost |
|---|---|---|
| 4 Yard Midi Skip | 25-35 | £100 - £260 |
| 6 Yard Skip | 55-60 | From £120 |
| 8 Yard Skip | 80 | £160 - £370 |
| 10 Yard Skip | 100 | From £180 |
| 12 Yard Maxi Skip | 120 | £220 - £440 |
Aside from the skip size, there are other factors that can affect the price of hiring a skip:
- Skip hire time. Some companies allow an unlimited time period for you to fill the skip. However, the price they quote is likely to be more expensive to compensate. It may work out cheaper to choose a firm that has a one to two weeks hire period and only pay an extra fee if you go over the allocated time.
- Weight limitations. Skips need to have weight limits so that they can be transported safely or there could be potential fines. Some firms may allow heavy items to completely fill smaller skips (4-8 yard skips). However, larger skips (12 yards) may only allow a percentage of heavy items to fill the skip (e.g 40% heavy items, 60% light items). If you’re unsure, speak to a skip hire firm.
- Skip hire permits. If you can’t leave the skip on private land and need to use a public road, you’ll need to apply for a permit from the local government. These vary from region to region, but can vary from £10 – £70. Apply for a skip permit here.
You’ll also want to be aware when using a company that’s charging well below the rates above.
This is because very cheap services are more likely to run illicit operations like fly tipping and dump the waste illegally. The level of service you get will probably be poor too.
