20 cubic yard skip size
The skips we offer range in size from 2 cubic yard options for small projects, all the way up to large 40-yard roll on roll offs. For reference, a standard “builder’s skip” – used for large building projects or small commercial construction – is 7 or 8 cubic yards.
For domestic projects, we recommend skips ranging from 2 cubic yards, for a small amount of construction waste (it’s about waist height), to 8 cubic yard skips for bigger projects.
For commercial use, meanwhile, our options range from 12 cubic yards to our biggest 40 cubic yard skip – a vast, 20ft length skip for very large amounts of waste.
If you’re unsure what size skip is best for your project, take a look at our options, or get in touch and we’ll help guide you.
