There are a wide range of skip hire sizes to choose from in the UK, meaning the right size skip can be found for every type of job. Keeping with tradition, skips are still measured and categorised in yards, ranging from 2 yarders to 16 yarders. The different sizes of skips are suitable for different types of jobs and it is important to have a clear idea of what kind of skip you need before hiring. If you need a skip for a job producing a low volume of solid heavy waste such as soil or rubble then hiring a 2 to 8 yard skip is a sound choice. If you need a skip for a job producing a higher volume of lighter waste then it is wise to hire a 10 to 16 yard skip. What follows is a guide to the different sizes of skips, their job suitability and their approximate waste capacity. The 2 yarder mini skip is a popular choice and it is ideal for small domestic and garden jobs, for example clearing the waste from interior decoration or from a thorough garden clearance or remodelling project that produces a modest amount of soil or other refuse. A 2 yarder will hold approximately 20 to 30 standard bin bags of waste. If you are undertaking a small domestic project such as a bathroom or kitchen refit then a 4 yarder midi skip would be a good choice as it will easily hold the old units and any other waste materials from the refit work. A 4 yarder will hold approximately 30 to 40 standard bin bags of waste. A building project that will produce a fairly large amount of high density building waste, such as an extension or conservatory refit, will call for a 6 yarder small builder skip. A 6 yarder will hold approximately 50 to 60 standard bin bags of waste. The largest size skip suitable for high density waste resulting from building work is the 8 yarder large builder skip. It is commonly hired for larger construction projects that produce a significant amount of heavy rubble. If you are undertaking a large house renovation project it is advisable to hire a large builder skip to be on the safe side. An 8 yarder will hold approximately 60 to 80 standard bin bags of waste. The maxi skip is available as a 10 yarder, 12 yarder, 14 yarder and 16 yarder, holding approximately 80 to 100, 100 to 120, 120 to 140 and 140 to 160 standard bin bags of waste respectively. The maxi skip is perfect for large house or grounds clearances producing a high volume of light materials. The sheer range of skip sizes, the relatively small amount of space they take up and the ease with which they can be manoeuvred makes them ideal for the storage and removal of waste from every type of job imaginable.
