A 4 yard midi skip is a great “in-between” option when a mini skip is too small but a builders skip is overkill.

It’s big enough for a room-by-room clear-out but still compact enough to sit comfortably on most driveways.

“Skip hire prices vary depending on several factors: Location, Rental Duration, Skip Size, Waste Type, Permits and Licenses, Delivery and Collection.”

What Is a 4 Yard Skip?

A 4 yard skip is a small, open-topped container used for mixed household, DIY and garden waste. It’s often called a midi skip and is popular for:

  • Bathroom and small kitchen rip-outs
  • End-of-tenancy clear-outs
  • Clearing one or two rooms at a time
  • Smaller garden and landscaping jobs

Because it’s shorter and lower than a builders skip, it’s easy to load by hand and works well where access or space is limited.

If you’re mainly getting rid of heavy building waste, you may be better off with an 8 yard builders skip.

Before You Book, Access & Placement

  • About overhead cables, low branches or arches
  • Exactly where you want the skip placed (left side of drive, in front of garage, etc.)
  • If the ground is soft or muddy after rain
  • Whether your driveway or access route has tight turns or width restrictions
  • What Can Go?
  • What Can’t Go?
  • Permits
  • Delivery Window

A 4 yard skip is ideal for:

  • General household junk like old boxes, toys, clothes, and light furniture
  • Light DIY waste like tiles and wood offcuts
  • Garden waste (branches, soil in sensible amounts, hedge trimmings, turf)

It’s a good size for bathroom rip-outs, small kitchen refreshes, end-of-tenancy clean-ups and clearing one room at a time.

Some items can’t legally go in a general skip:

  • Fridges / freezers
  • Gas bottles and cylinders
  • Tyres
  • Paint, chemicals, solvents
  • Asbestos or suspected asbestos
  • Batteries and electrical hazardous waste

Bulky items like mattresses or upholstered furniture may be allowed, but may carry an extra surcharge. Ask before loading so you’re not charged later.

If your skip is placed on your private drive, permit is not required.

If it needs to sit on a public road or pavement, your local council will normally require a skip permit. Permit costs and lead times vary by council, but they typically:

  • Add an extra fee to your booking. On average, the cost ranges from £30 to £50, while a 14-day permit costs around £95 or more.
  • Take a 3 to 5 working days to arrange
  • Set rules on lights, cones and how long the skip can remain on the road

Let us know where you plan to place the skip when you book. We’ll advise whether a permit is required in your Medway or Kent postcode and help make sure everything is legal and compliant.

We work with local depots to offer convenient delivery and collection:

  • Delivery: choose a day that suits you at checkout; same-day or next-day may be available in some Medway and Kent areas, especially when you book before 10:00 AM
  • Hire period: standard hire is up to 14 days for most postcodes
  • Collection: once you’re finished, request collection and the depot will remove the skip as soon as possible within the agreed timeframe

If you think you’ll need the skip for longer, ask our team about extending your hire; extra days are usually available for an additional charge.

The lady I booked through was so good, she advised me to book a medium skip which was perfect. Everything went well and the skip was delivered and picked up as expected.
