Is a 16 Yard Skip right for me?

The biggest of the standard skip sizes, the 16 yard skip is made for major clearances where bulky, light waste is piling up fast. With space for up to 160 bin bags, it’s ideal for construction sites, office refurbishments, warehouse strip-outs, and large-scale house clearances.

It’s designed to handle materials like wood, metal, plastics, packaging, and furniture, anything that takes up space without being excessively heavy. If you need to remove rubble or soil, you need an 8 yard skip as that is the maximum size allowed for rubble.

If you need one skip that can handle it all, without constant refills and deliveries, the 16 yard is a reliable choice. It’s often used on commercial sites or during big moves when there’s a serious volume of waste to manage in a single go.

Max out on space, not effort.

Additional Considerations:

Permit Requirements: If the skip is placed on public property (roadside), a permit may be required.


Weight Restrictions: Large skips might not be suitable for heavy materials like bricks or soil due to weight limits.


Hazardous Waste: Items like asbestos, paint, and batteries require special disposal methods.
