In this article, we will take you through everything you need to know about how to hire a skip, from how to book it, how to choose the right size and what can and can’t go inside.

Decide what you need the skip for

Before you choose your skip, have a think about what you need it for. Are you doing a garden makeover, tackling a kitchen renovation or moving home? The type of waste that you’ll be creating will help you to decide on the most suitable skip size.

For example:

• Home clear-outs: Our midi skip is usually enough for general household rubbish, old furniture, and small appliances.

• Building projects: A larger builders or maxi skip is ideal for heavy materials like bricks, concrete, and rubble.

• Garden waste: Our builders skip work well for soil, branches, and green waste.

At Hurleys, we’re always happy to advise you on the best option. Just tell us what kind of job you’re doing, and we’ll recommend the most cost-effective size for your project. 

Choosing the right skip size

Skip sizes are measured in cubic yards, and choosing the right one is key to keeping costs down and avoiding the hassle of ordering a second skip later.

Here’s a quick guide to our most popular skip sizes:

Midi Skip: 4 Yards and holds up to 40 to 45 bin bags.

Builders Skip: 7 Yards and holds up to 60 to 65 bin bags.

Maxi Skip: 12 Yards and holds up to 120 bin bags.

If you’re unsure, it’s often better to go one size up. It’s more cost-effective than having to order an extra skip halfway through your project.

Get a quote and book your skip

After you have decided what size is best for your project, the next step is to get a quote. You can get an instant quote online by putting in your postcode on our website and seeing the available skips in your area. 

Then simply select the skip and enter in the duration you need it for and whether or not you need a permit. At this point, you will see a clear price with no hidden fees. If your skip needs to be placed on a public road, we can also help you arrange a skip hire permit through your local council, saving you time and stress.
