Skip hire prices – the overall cost of waste removal services?

The act of transporting rubbish to the dump can become tiresome at times. Hiring a skip makes more sense. Having a skip delivered makes sense in some situations, such as completely renovating a house.

You don’t need to do much hard work other than filling a skip. To keep your skip hire cost low, you need to keep a few tricks of the trade in mind. Skip hire is an affordable way to dispose of trash and a convenient way to get rid of unwanted waste. Skip hire in the UK can range in price depending on a number of factors, which is why we have compiled our comprehensive skip hire cost guide.

 

2-3 Yard Mini Skip Hire

The main use for the 2-3 yard mini skip is for small jobs in your home. If you feel as though you will not be throwing away too much waste, or you are redecorating a small room, then the 2 yard mini skip may be the perfect solution for you. This type of skip is also good to use alongside a larger skip to load specific materials such as metal or plasterboard.

For cheap rubbish removal, two-yard skips are the ideal solution. This type of skip is perfect for getting rid of small amounts of trash; it’s commonly known as “mini skips.” Most people prefer to use mini skips when they are clearing their gardens, making minor home improvements or dealing with household waste. Throughout the UK, 2 yard skips are the smallest skip available for hire, and skip hire prices depend heavily on the size of the skip. A 2-yard skip will typically cost between £150 – £250 depending on other factors including the hire period.

Price range – From £60 upwards
Capacity – Minimum 25 black bins bags

4-5 Yard Midi Skip Hire Prices

The 4-5 yard midi skip is a slightly bigger version of the 3-4 yard mini skip and holds marginally more waste. If you are redecorating a somewhat larger room and you are not sure the mini skip will have enough, upgrade to the 4-5 yard midi skip.

4-yard skips are easy to load because of their low level and can be squeezed into tight spaces for more effortless loading. Our team is always available to answer any questions you may have about access.

Four-yard skips, sometimes called midi skips, are ideal for renovating homes, remodelling kitchens and bathrooms, or just clearing out gardens on a seasonal basis. Objects of moderate size can be easily stored here, such as bicycles, small refrigerators, TVs, and small sofas and chairs.

If you are only putting in soil and stone or hardcore, we offer a reduced rate on our 4 Yard Skip.

Price range – Prices start from £85 upwards
Capacity – Approximately 45-50 bins bags

Every client has different needs, so companies offer a variety of skip sizes and shapes for hire.

Skip companies like Cheap Skips do not offer a 6-yard unit, but instead encourage their customers to choose the larger 8-yard unit, which may not be the best option for their needs. Cheap Skips offers a 6 yard unit for trash of any size, including yard waste, domestic rubbish, and general garbage.

10 Yard Skip Hire Prices

A 10 yard skip is probably too big for most home projects, unless you own a big home, then you tend to find these skips more for commercial and construction uses, where buildings are much bigger and renovations use more materials and there is more waste.

This is best suited for large-scale building projects or the disposal of mixed waste. The maximum amount of soil/hardcore is 50%. When you have a lot of waste to dispose of, 10-yard skips are the way to go.

Despite their versatility, they are still widely used for both domestic and commercial purposes. In addition to home improvements, they can also be used for building and commercial work. There are also larger skips called maxi skips.

10 yard skips are commonly used for office clean-outs and shop fittings. Items that are not too heavy can be placed in them. As our lorries can only handle a maximum of 8 tonnes of waste, they are not suitable for carrying heavy materials such as soil and stone. A 10-yard skip could hold 8 tonnes of material, so an 8-yard skip could be used.

Price range – Prices start from £175 upwards
Capacity – Approximately 95-100+ bins bags

For larger jobs such as clearance of entire offices or homes, or any other commercial project, the 12 yard jumbo skip is perfect for you.

Approximately 120 bin liners can be disposed of in a 12 yard skip. In addition to having the capacity to hold waste in large quantities, 12 yard skips are popular with builders and shop fitters. 12-yard skips are commonly used on commercial sites and for larger jobs.
