What size skip do I need ?
If you have lots of smaller things to go in the skip then then you need to consider the volume of space required
If you have one or more larger items then the size of these will determine the size of the skip,
If you have have long items like timber, metal and trees then the length of these items will determine at least one dimension of the skip.
DO NOT Overload the skip. Your waste must fit inside the skip and not extend beyond the top lip.
- Single mattress - 3m Skip
- Double Mattress - 4m Skip
- Dishwasher, stove, sink and cupboards - 3m Skip if you break things down a lot
- Walls, roofing, Timber frames - Cut things down then a 2m Skip may do,
- Walls, roofing, Timber frames - Put it in the skip whole then a 4m or 6m skip may be required
- Home renovation - a few rooms - Consider a 6m or 8m skip
How much stuff can I stuff into a skip?
You can fill the skip to the top, Nothing can protrude past the top.
Keep in mind the skip will be transported and the contents must remain in the skip bin and not fall out or be blown out. If you overfill the skip we will not collect it.
