The most common skip size for domestic use is 6 cubic yards. See our skip size page for more information.
Skips need to be sited in an accessible location on a slab sufficient to hold its weight. If you wish to put a skip on the road, this will require a permit from the local Council, we can arrange this for you.
If you do not have room for a skip on private property and are unable to get a road permit, we can offer a wait-and-load service where the driver stops in the road and waits whilst you load the skip. Please contact us for more information.
