If you are planning a big renovation or construction project, or if you have a lot of household waste that needs to be disposed of, then you'll need to hire a skip. But with so many sizes and types available, it can be hard to know which one to choose. Here at Skip Hire Leicestershire, we are experts in skip hire and are happy to guide you through the process of choosing the ideal skip size for your specific needs.

Skips

A skip is basically a large metal container with an open top, designed for the collection and transportation of waste. They come in a variety of sizes, from small 2-yard skips to large 40-yard roll on-roll off skips. The size you need will depend on the amount of waste you are producing and the space you have available.

At Skip Hire Leicestershire, we offer skips in the following sizes:

• 2-yard skip
• 4-yard skip

• 16-yard skip
• 20-yard skip
• 25-yard skip
• 30-yard skip
• 40-yard skip

Waste

Different types of waste require different types of skips. For example, if you are disposing of heavy materials such as rubble or soil, then you'll need a skip with a higher weight limit. Similarly, if you are throwing away hazardous waste, such as asbestos or chemicals, then you will need a specialist skip with a sealed lid.

At Skip Hire Leicestershire, we offer a variety of skips suitable for different types of waste, including:

• General waste skips
• Mixed waste skips
• Construction waste skips
• Heavy materials skips
• Hazardous waste skips
• Garden waste skips

Yard

When it comes to skip sizes, the term "yard" refers to the volume of the skip. For example, a 6-yard skip can hold roughly 6 cubic yards of waste. It's important to choose the right size skip for your waste, as overfilling can be dangerous and illegal.

Here is a rough guide to the skip sizes available, and the amount of waste they can hold:

• 2-yard skip: Holds roughly 20-30 bin bags
• 4-yard skip: Holds roughly 30-40 bin bags
• 6-yard skip: Holds roughly 50-60 bin bags
• 8-yard skip: Holds roughly 80-90 bin bags
• 10-yard skip: Holds roughly 100-110 bin bags
• 12-yard skip: Holds roughly 120-130 bin bags
• 14-yard skip: Holds roughly 140-150 bin bags
• 16-yard skip: Holds roughly 160-170 bin bags
• 20-yard skip: Holds roughly 200-220 bin bags
• 25-yard skip: Holds roughly 250-260 bin bags
• 30-yard skip: Holds roughly 300-320 bin bags
• 40-yard skip: Holds roughly 400-420 bin bags

Bin Bags

Bin bags are a useful way of estimating the amount of waste you need to dispose of. As a general rule, a standard 240L bin bag can hold around 3-4 bin bags worth of waste. This means that a 6-yard skip can hold roughly 20-25 bin bags worth of waste, while a 40-yard skip can hold up to 140 bin bags worth of waste.

Bin

If you have limited space available, such as a small driveway, then a skip may not be the best option. In this case, you may be better off with a wheelie bin. Wheelie bins are smaller and more manoeuvrable than skips, and can be placed in convenient locations such as outside your home or business.

At Skip Hire Leicestershire, we offer a variety of wheelie bins in different sizes, suitable for both household and commercial waste.

Large projects

If you are carrying out a large construction or renovation project, you may need more than one skip. This is because skips have weight limits and can only hold a certain amount of waste.

At Skip Hire Leicestershire, we are happy to provide multiple skips for larger projects. We can also arrange for regular collections, to ensure that your waste is removed efficiently and safely.

Yard skip

A yard skip is a large skip suitable for big projects. They have a high weight limit and can hold a large amount of waste, making them ideal for large construction and renovation projects.

At Skip Hire Leicestershire, we offer a variety of yard skips, including:

• 16-yard yard skip
• 20-yard yard skip
• 25-yard yard skip
• 30-yard yard skip
• 40-yard yard skip
