6 Yard New

An 8 yard skip is one of the most popular skip sizes for builders, tradespeople and larger home projects. It gives you strong capacity for renovation waste, house clearances, garden clearances, construction waste, bulky household items and mixed builders’ waste.

8 Yard Skip Capacity and Dimensions

  • Capacity: around 60–80 bin bags of waste
  • Dimensions (L × W × H): 3.66m long x 1.68m wide x 1.22m high
  • Volume: Approx. 6.12m³
  • Standard hire length: up to 14 days included and extensions available from £30 per extra day.

Do not fill the skip above the sides. Overfilled skips may be unsafe to collect and transport.

Skip Hire Terms and Delivery

Do You Need a Permit for a 8 Yard Skip?

Usually only needed if the skip sits on a public road, pavement, verge or council-controlled land. If a permit is required, we can check the council cost, confirm it with you and apply where required.

When Should You Choose an 8 Yard Skip?

Customers often choose this size for larger DIY jobs, building work, full room clearances, renovation projects and bulky waste that would fill a smaller skip too quickly.

It offers more space than a 6 yard skip, but you still need to be careful with heavy waste such as soil, rubble, bricks and concrete. An 8 yard skip works well for:

  • House clearances
  • Large garden clearances
  • Kitchen and bathroom renovation waste
  • Building and refurbishment projects
  • Bulky household waste
  • Wood, metal, cardboard and packaging
  • Mixed builders’ waste
  • Office or shop clearances
  • Landscaping waste
  • Garage, shed and loft clearances

Many customers choose an 8 yard skip because it gives them extra space without moving up to a larger skip that may not suit heavy materials.
