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

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

4 Cubic Yard Skip

4 Yard vs 6 Yard Skip

Choose a 4 yard skip if:

  • You want the smallest practical skip for a driveway
  • You’re doing a small renovation or garden clear-up
  • You have some heavy waste but not huge volume

Choose a 6 yard skip if:

  • You’ll fill 4 yard too fast (kitchen rip-out / larger tidy-up)
  • You have more mixed waste volume
  • You want better value per cubic yard for most domestic jobs

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

  • Minimum access width: 3 metres clear space
  • Overhead clearance: allow room for the lorry arm
  • Tell us about: low trees, tight turns, controlled parking zones
  • What Can Go?
  • What Can’t Go?
  • Permits
  • Delivery Window

A 4 yard skip is ideal when you have compact waste that still adds up fast.

Common uses

  • Bathroom refit waste (tiles, packaging, old fixtures)
  • Small garden tidy-ups (green waste, trimmings, light soil/turf)
  • Light DIY waste (wood offcuts, broken furniture in smaller pieces)
  • Small amounts of rubble (bricks/tiles/concrete), best kept to sensible levels so it stays safe to lift and collect

If your job is mostly bulky items (wardrobes/sofas) or you’re clearing multiple rooms, you’ll normally be happier with a 6 yard or 8 yard skip.

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

Extra-fee items (common): mattresses, tyres, fridges/freezers (charged due to recycling rules). If you need to include these, you’ll see the surcharge rules during booking.

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:

  • Cost ranges from £55 to £90 for 7 to 14-days.
  • Takes 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 for your Medway or Kent postcode and help ensure 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.
