Frequently Asked Questions
When should I choose a Large Skip over a Builder's Skip?
Choose a Large Skip (8 yard) when you have a major project like a full house renovation, commercial fit-out, or large-scale clearance. It offers 33% more capacity than a Builder's Skip.
Will a Large Skip fit on a residential driveway?
A Large Skip is approximately 12ft x 6ft (3.6m x 1.8m). It will fit on larger driveways, but many residential properties may need to place it on the road with a permit. Please measure your space before booking.
Is a Large Skip suitable for commercial use?
Yes! Large Skips are very popular with businesses for office clearances, shop refits, and commercial construction projects. They offer excellent value for larger volumes of waste.
Can I mix different types of waste in a Large Skip?
Yes, you can mix general waste types. However, soil and rubble should ideally be kept separate from general waste. Prohibited items (asbestos, electrical, batteries, tyres, chemicals) are never allowed.
