Skip Sizes
There is undoubtedly a skip out there for you because they come in all different sizes and forms, but with so many options available, it is simple to choose the wrong one. In the UK, skips come in sizes ranging from 2 cubic yards to 40 cubic yards, making it possible to dispose of rubbish of various shapes and sizes. You may select the skip size that best meets your needs by using our fast and simple skip size guide.
From modest to very big, skips are available in a variety of sizes. As long as you have enough rubbish to fill a larger skip, it is more economical.
Our simple guide describes the purposes for all the different skip sizes available (together with their dimensions), the kinds of projects best suited for each, and the limitations that apply to bigger skip sizes to assist you in selecting the appropriate size skip.
Typically, skip sizes are described in terms of their interior volume in “cubic yards,” which is sometimes shortened to “yards.”
