Compare eight skip sizes, from small clear-outs to bulky waste.
Use the cards to compare how much each size holds and the space it may need. Exact measurements and availability are confirmed for your booking.
20–30 black bags Approximate capacity
Approximate external dimensions
A compact option for a small amount of waste. Check bulky items will fit and tell us about any soil or rubble.
30–40 black bags Approximate capacity
Approximate external dimensions
Useful for a modest clear-out or small refit. Describe the materials before deciding on capacity.
50–60 black bags Approximate capacity
Approximate external dimensions
Room for agreed renovation waste. Heavy soil, bricks and rubble need a weight check before booking.
60–80 black bags Approximate capacity
Approximate external dimensions
Extra room for bulky materials. More volume does not mean an unlimited load of heavy waste.
90–100 black bags Approximate capacity
Approximate external dimensions
A larger option for light, bulky rubbish. Check the entrance and the space needed for the delivery lorry.
110–120 black bags Approximate capacity
Approximate external dimensions
High sides give room for lighter timber and packaging. Do not fill this size with soil or rubble.
130–140 black bags Approximate capacity
Approximate external dimensions
Useful for bulky clearance waste. Discuss safe loading, the agreed materials and space for delivery.
160–170 black bags Approximate capacity
Approximate external dimensions
The largest size in this guide. Confirm availability, weight limits and the exact container before booking.
Bag counts and measurements are approximate. The skip you receive may have different measurements. Confirm the actual skip, accepted waste, weight limit and lorry access for your postcode before booking. Keep waste below the rim.
Soil, bricks and concrete can reach a weight limit before a skip looks full. Describe these materials before booking.
Timber and packaging may need more room. High sides affect loading, so agree how larger pieces will go in safely.
Read the project-by-project skip-choice guide or check restricted waste.
Measure the entrance and tell us about the surface, turning space, gates, overhead cables and branches. A skip can fit while the lorry cannot reach it safely.
If it needs to go on the road, check the permit arrangements before agreeing delivery.
Tell us your postcode, what you need to clear and where it is. We’ll talk through the quote, access and collection arrangements.
