Whether you’re finishing up your housing
projects for 2019, or you’re taking “New Year, new me” to another height with a
new look home in 2020, a good clear out can be very therapeutic. Obviously, the
cheapest method is to do the manual labour yourself, but you’re still going to
need a place to put all your rubbish.
For the times where a bi-weekly collected wheelie bin just won’t cut it, a cheap skip hire is the go-to route. But did you know that your location can affect the price of a skip? We’ve taken a look at the some of the cheapest skip prices for a number of regions around the UK.
Let’s look at how much will a skip cost you

Of course, the size of the container you
need will impact the cost regardless of where you live. It’s important to pick
the right sized skip to suit your needs not only in terms of pricing, but in
terms of the job.
<h2 Which skip do I need?
<h3 4 Yard Skip
A four-yard ‘mini’ skip is a most compact
waste container. It is ideal for the smaller domestic refurbishments, DIY
projects, and small garden clearances.
It might be a mini skip, but did you know
it can hold around two and a half car boots full of waste? So, you can be sure
this small, compact and easy to load skip can handle most domestic
refurbishments.
<h3 6 Yard Skip
A six-yard ‘small’ builder’s skip offers
the ideal way to store waste when carrying out a medium-sized domestic project.
It’s the perfect option when you are tackling domestic refurbishments, home
clear-outs, or even small construction works.
Although it’s known as a small builder’s
skip, it can hold as much waste as a VW Cadi Maxi
Van! Plus, it’s easy to fit on most driveways and greater for the bulkier
items.
<h3 8 Yard Skip
The traditional builder’s skip is the most
popular skip size and is the largest size available for soils and rubble due to
weight limits.
The eight-yarder is ideal for most if not
all projects, including general construction works and large domestic
clearances. It can hold as much as a Ford Transit Van full of waste, so you can
be sure it can handle all your bulkier waste items!
<h3 12 Yard Skip
The 12-yard skip is one of the largest skip
sizes you’ll be able to get. It is a huge skip that’s suitable for the bulky
items of waste that are still light in weight.
Although it’s not suitable for soils and
heavy rubble, it’s an ideal option for major constructions works and those
large clear-outs. It can hold the same capacity of waste as the average garden
shed — impressive right?
With the right skip size and budget in
mind, you’re set to blast through whatever project you have in mind!
