Frequently Asked Questions
What's the most popular skip size?+
The 8 yard Maxi Skip is our most popular choice. It holds around 100 bin bags and is ideal for home renovations, large garden clearances, and construction projects. It's the best all-rounder for most domestic projects.
Can I mix different types of waste in one skip?+
Yes, you can mix most types of general waste in a single skip. The main exception is the 16 yard Jumbo Skip which is for light waste only — no rubble, bricks, soil, or concrete. If you have heavy materials, the 8 yard Maxi Skip is a better option.
What if I choose the wrong size?+
If your skip isn't big enough, don't worry — just give us a call on 0113 534 5441 and we can arrange a swap or an additional skip. It's better to go slightly larger than you think you'll need to avoid extra costs.
Do prices change based on skip size?+
Yes, prices vary by skip size and your postcode. Our Mini Skip starts from £120 inc. VAT and the Jumbo Skip from £500. Book online for an instant price based on your exact location.
