If you’re carrying out a building project or house clearance, a 10-yard Skip could be the ideal choice for removing light yet bulky waste. It is the first of the skips available from Britannia Skips which are on the larger side of the skip size scale. You could be looking for a 10-yard skip for sale, but usually skips are only required for specific jobs and tasks. Specialising in skip hire, whether you want a 14-yard skip or a 4-yard skip, to find out more about our 10-yard skips, continue reading.
The First of The Big Skips
The 10-yard skip is a step-up in size from the 8-yard skip, but it is the first within our three largest sizes, which work in a slightly different way to the others in terms of how you can use it appropriately. Although suitable for use by commercial clients for bulky items, they are most commonly used for large domestic projects, making them the ideal companion for your house clearance.
The Capacity of a 12-Yard Skip
As the name suggests, the 10-yard skip has an interior of 10 cubic yards (or 7.5 cubic metres), measuring at 79 x67 x 60 inches. The 10-yard skip has a capacity of 120 to 140 full bin bags, which gives some sense of how to visualise whether this size skip is the right choice for you, even though your use will not likely be as uniform as that.
10-Yard Skip Weight Restrictions
Whilst the 8-yard skip can be used for heavy materials like earth and concrete, the 10-yard skip is the first where the restrictions of what you should put inside it change. The first of the larger skips, each skip that is 10-yards or higher should not contain any heavy materials like these, but instead, they should be used for lightweight, bulky items.
There are weight restrictions on 10-yard skips as for any of these bigger skips, the overall weight should not go above a total of 8 tonnes.

What a 10-Yard Skip is Used For
A 10-yard skip is best placed on projects where you need to remove big, bulky items, including old furniture, any plumbing fixtures, and so on. A combination of the weight restrictions, coupled with just how big the 10-yard skip is, this means that it is simply not practical for other applications such as removing garden waste. Therefore, the 10-yard skip is best used for large, bulky items that are relatively light in weight when compared to such heavy materials.
