Is a 3 Yard Mini Skip right for me?

The 3 yard skip is a great choice for slightly larger jobs where the 2 yard might fall short. With space for around 40 to 45 bin bags of waste, it’s ideal for small renovation projects, garden landscaping, or clearing out a couple of rooms.

This skip still fits comfortably on most driveways and in tighter spaces, making it a practical option for households with limited access. While it's not as cost-effective per cubic yard as larger skips like the 6 yard or 8 yard, it offers a useful middle ground for jobs that are too big for a mini skip but don’t need a full builder’s skip.

If you're tackling a project that’s a bit more than a spring clean, the 3 yard skip gives you that extra bit of breathing room, without taking up too much space.

Additional Considerations:

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


Loading Advice: Be mindful not to overfill your skip. Waste should not exceed the top edge for safety and legal reasons during transport.


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