Our 8-yard skip can be called a medium size when you compare it to all of the other sizes that we have available.  However, this is not much of a description when you are trying to discern which one is right for you.  We will give a description that may help you understand more fully how big is an 8 yard skip, and what it is capable of holding, by discussing what kinds of rubbish and waste removal jobs it is often uses for, and which of our customers usually hire the 8 yard skip size.

8 Yard Skip Size

Our 8 yard skip measurements are exactly 79 x 67 x 48 inches, and the biggest skip hire available for hardcore and soil removal.  This is because any larger amounts of soil and hardcore would be dangerous and too heavy for our trucks to carry back to the waste disposal and local reclamation centres.  Therefore, if you have a large renovation project that requires the removal of large amounts of soil and hardcore, then the 8 yard skip is the right choice for you, but you may need to arrange several drop offs and pick-ups to get the job you need, completed.

The 8 yard size is capable of carrying a total of 90 – 100 large black bin bags full of rubbish.  So rather than making many trips to the local waste centre and tip if you have a lot of refuse to remove, this makes clearing out a lot easier.  It also means you can take your time organising and deciding what need throwing away, and what items are for keeping.  Simply contact us when you are sure you are ready for the skip hire to be removed and we will be with you as soon as possible to take the 8 yard skip away.

Skip Hire

This size is a great choice for big clear outs, whether it be for a domestic premises when having a garage declutter or for garden items, or commercial stock and waste removal.  For example, if you have a broken-down, damaged shed at your home that is no longer usable, and therefore cannot be passed on to another household and owner, or old broken fence panels, ornaments, bricks and large cutting from perhaps bushes and trees in your garden, then this may be the ideal size for your needs.  Equally, if you have lots of boxes, damaged stock and other refuse at work, then the 8 yard skip hire is a great choice for these larger jobs.  

Due to the ideal size and shape, and the popularity with both domestic customers for clear outs and private renovations, and its perfect size for commercial use, this is one of our most common skips for hire.  This is not just because of what it can hold, but because it is probably the best choice for fitting on a driveway, or outside a shop without hindering access to your premises.  Our drivers are highly skilled, and can place each 8 yards skip exactly where you need it to be.
