How to Use This Skip Size Guide

Consider Your Project Type

Different projects generate varying amounts and types of waste. Our skip size guide breaks down capacity by common project types.

Check Access Requirements

Ensure our vehicles can safely deliver and collect your skip.

Estimate Your Waste Volume

Use our visual guides and examples to estimate how much waste you'll generate and match it to the right skip capacity.

Book with confidence

Once you know your size, you can hire a skip directly from our booking page.

Access Planning Tips for Skip Delivery

Before you book, please check:

  • Ground Conditions: Ensure a firm, level surface - avoid soft lawns or steep slopes.
  • Overhead Clearance: Check for low branches, garage doors, or cables that could block delivery.
  • Clear access route: Remove parked cars and measure any width or height restrictions.
  • Permit requirements: If the skip is to be placed on public property, a permit will be required.
  • Neighbour considerations: Inform neighbours if access is shared or if delivery may temporarily block entry.
Our delivery trucks may vary in size depending on your skip choice, so planning ahead ensures a smooth and safe delivery and collection.
