Which skip do I need?
Advice for picking the right skip.
Make sure you have organised a place for the skip to sit when it arrives, and please remember what cannot go into the skip. A list of such items can be viewed here.
For most household/ garage clearances we would recommend either a 4 or a 6 Yard skip depending on how much waste you wish to dispose of. If you prefer measurements we have provided each skip’s details below.
