The 6-yard is the workhorse of UK skip hire and easily the size we deliver most. It is big enough to handle a full kitchen rip-out or a medium house renovation in one go, and it still sits comfortably on most driveways. Mixed builders waste, broken tiles, plasterboard, garden clearance: it takes the lot.
Aim for level filling rather than mounding, because drivers cannot take anything that sticks above the rim. Heavy materials like soil or rubble can push the skip to its 4-tonne weight limit well before it looks full, so if you are throwing a lot of concrete or bricks, step up to the 8-yard. As with every size: no fridges, mattresses, paint, asbestos or hazardous waste.
