The 10-yard skip is ideal when you’ve got a lot of light, bulky waste to clear, like furniture, packaging, carpets and general household or commercial junk. It’s not for tons of bricks or soil, but it’s perfect when a builder’s skip just isn’t big enough.
As Upper Tier Waste Broker CBDU596771, our base in Rochester, Medway, we deliver 10 yard skips across Chatham, Gillingham, Rainham, Strood, Maidstone, wider Kent and the South East.
Not sure if your waste is too heavy for a 10-yard skip? Tell us what you’re throwing out when you get a quote, and we’ll recommend the ideal size before we deliver.
This size gives you a lot of volume, which is why it’s best for big clear-outs with lighter waste, not heavy hardcore.
Please Note: If you’re unsure, send us a quick photo of your driveway or entrance, and we’ll advise before delivery. If most of your waste is heavy (bricks, concrete, hardcore, soil), a 6 yard or 8-yard builders’ skip is usually safer and more cost-effective.
“Skip hire prices vary depending on several factors: Location, Rental Duration, Skip Size, Waste Type, Permits and Licenses, Delivery and Collection.”
A 10-yard skip has a large volume, but it still has a maximum safe lifting weight. To avoid problems:
It’s the right option when a standard builders skip isn’t big enough, but your waste is mostly light and bulky, not heavy hardcore.
Mattresses and upholstered furniture may be accepted, but they may incur a surcharge. Always check first.
Provide flexible delivery windows from 8:00 AM–11:00 AM, 11:00 AM–2:00 PM, and 2:00 PM–5:00 PM. We aim for next-business-day delivery when you order before 2 pm in most areas. For same-day delivery, place your order before 10 am or early morning
