16 Yard Jumbo Skip

16 YARD SKIPHIRE LEEDS

Our biggest skip. The 16 yard jumbo holds around 200 bin bags of light, bulky waste — ideal for house clearances and commercial fit-outs — and starts from £520 inc. VAT with same-day delivery available across Leeds.

The 16 Yard Skip Explained

The 16 yard skip — the “jumbo” in our range — is built for jobs where the problem is volume, not weight. With room for roughly 200 bin bags, it swallows the contents of a whole house or commercial unit in a single drop, saving you the cost and hassle of hiring two or three smaller skips for the same clearout.

That generous capacity comes with one important condition. A 16 yard skip is for light waste only — furniture, packaging, shop-fitting timber, cardboard and general clutter. It must never be loaded with rubble, soil, bricks or concrete. Heavy materials in a container this large quickly exceed what our lorries can legally lift, which is why dense waste is strictly off-limits in the jumbo.

If your job is mostly building rubble, broken-up patio or excavated soil, the right tool is the heavy-duty 8 yard builders skip, which is engineered to take dense, heavy loads. Browse the full range on our skip sizes page to find the best fit before you book a skip.

We deliver the 16 yard jumbo right across Leeds and West Yorkshire from our base in Holbeck, LS11 9RF. Order before 10am and we can usually get a skip to you the same day. As an Environment Agency registered carrier we recycle up to 90% of everything we collect, so the bulk you clear is sorted and diverted from landfill rather than simply tipped. Need it on a public road? You'll need a council permit — typically around £40 — and our team can talk you through it when you order.

Why can't I put rubble in a 16 yard skip?+
