Five different sizes of skips and their uses

Let’s take a look at different skip sizes and their particularities. This way you can choose the proper size depending on your requirements. 

Mini skips (2-3 cubic yards)

First on our list is mini skip. They are ideal for small domestic jobs like garden clean-ups or even minor home renovations. They are capable of accommodating 20-30 bin bags on an average. They are perfect if you have a little more rubbish than what local council’s bin services can occupy. 

Midi skips (4-5 cubic yards)

Midi skips are an excellent choice for slightly larger domestic projects. They are extremely useful for a full room clearing outs or even a medium sized garden clearance project. Midi skips have the capacity to hold about 30-40 bin bags of waste. They are a bit more spacious than mini skips. 

Builders’ skips (6-8 cubic yards)

The builders’ skip is suitable for both domestic and commercial purposes. They are suitable for construction and renovation projects. They are also capable of handling bulky items like concrete, rubble, and large household items. These skips are adequately spacious to accommodate 50-80 bin bags of waste.

Maxi skips (10-12 cubic yards)

For large scale projects that are capable of generating substantial amounts of waste, the maxi skip can work wonders. These skips are commonly used for large home renovations and commercial construction projects. They are capable of holding 100-120 bin bags. It can also handle a wide variety of waste types including metal, wood and plastics. 

Jumbo skips (12-14 cubic yards)

These are the biggest of the traditional skips. These huge skips are known to handle 120 bin bags full of rubbish. These are for extra large-scale projects. These skips are most suitable for larger commercial removals. They can also work well with complete building removal and constructions.

When you are looking for a skip, you need to carefully consider the volume of the waste. It is also a good idea to consider the space available for placing the skips. Overloading a skip is a rather unsafe thing to do. So, if you have any questions regarding skip sizes, get in touch with Surrey Recycling Services.
