What Size Skips Can You Hire In Leicestershire?

Welcome to Skip Hire Leicestershire, the leading skip hire company in Leicestershire. If you're planning a construction, renovation, or landscaping project, you'll need to hire a skip to handle all the waste that will be generated. But with so many skip sizes available, it can be challenging to determine which one is right for your needs. That's why we've created this guide to help you understand the different skip sizes and their uses.

The Standard Skip Sizes

Skip sizes are measured in cubic yards, with one cubic yard being equal to approximately three bin bags. At Skip Hire Leicestershire, we offer skip sizes ranging from 2 yards to 16 yards. Here's an overview of each standard skip size:

2 Yard Skip

The 2 yard skip is perfect for small DIY projects or garden clearances. It can hold approximately 20 bin bags of waste.

4 Yard Skip

The 4 yard skip is ideal for larger DIY projects and small renovation jobs. It can hold approximately 40 bin bags of waste.

6 Yard Skip

The 6 yard skip is the most common skip size and is suitable for medium-sized renovation and construction projects. It can hold approximately 60 bin bags of waste.

8 Yard Skip

The 8 yard skip is ideal for larger construction sites and bigger renovations. It can hold approximately 80 bin bags of waste.

10 Yard Skip

The 10 yard skip is suitable for bulky and heavy waste such as soil, bricks, and concrete. It can hold approximately 100 bin bags of waste.

12 Yard Skip

The 12 yard skip is perfect for large renovation projects and construction sites. It can hold approximately 120 bin bags of waste.

16 Yard Skip

The 16 yard skip is the largest standard skip size and is suitable for large commercial or industrial projects. It can hold approximately 160 bin bags of waste.

Other Skip Sizes

In addition to the standard skip sizes, we also offer other skip sizes to cater to your specific needs.

Roll On Roll Off (RoRo) Skips

RoRo skips are large industrial containers that can hold up to 40 cubic yards of waste. They are suitable for large construction sites and industrial projects.

Builder's Skips

Builder's skips are similar to the 8 yard skip but have higher sides to accommodate bulky waste such as plasterboard and metal.

Skip Bags

Skip bags are a convenient alternative to standard skips, especially for small DIY projects or garden clearances. They can hold up to 1.5 cubic yards of waste.

Choosing The Right Skip Size

Choosing the right skip size is crucial to ensure the safe and efficient disposal of your waste. If you hire a skip that is too small, you'll end up paying for multiple collections, while a skip that is too large will require more space and result in unnecessary costs. Here are some factors to consider when choosing a skip size:

Type and Amount of Waste

The type and amount of waste you'll be generating are the primary factors in determining the ideal skip size. For example, green waste from garden clearances will require a smaller skip size than bulky waste from construction sites.

Space Availability

Consider the available space on your property and the location where the skip will be placed. You'll need to ensure that there's enough space for the skip and that it won't block access to your property.

Project Duration

The duration of your project can influence the skip size you choose. A longer project will generate more waste and require a larger skip.
