Best Skips For Domestic and commercial Use
Choosing the correct skip size is crucial to ensure your project is completed efficiently and cost-effectively. Most Kent household projects opt for a 6 yard skip or 8-yard skip for mixed waste and light renovation debris.
Tip: If you’re disposing of heavy waste like soil or rubble, choose a smaller size and follow loading limits to avoid overweight issues.

Yes, if your skip needs to be placed on a public road or pavement, a permit from your local council is required. Don’t worry, we can organise this for you during the booking process.
Overloading a skip is a safety risk, and we may not be able to collect it if waste is piled above the fill line. You might also be charged extra. To avoid this, make sure everything stays within the sides of the skip. Not sure what size you need? We can help, just give us a call!
