8 cubic yard builders skip hire
When you’re working on a commercial construction project, you’re going to need a skip that can handle the load. Our big commercial skips are equipped to handle the refuse you’ll generate in a large-scale building project, from standard “builder’s skips” all the way up to our massive 40-yard skip – and we can offer lockable skips too.

8 cubic yard builders 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 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.

Do skip hire companies recycle?
We can’t speak for every skip hire company, but we’re dedicated to helping both our customers and environment become a healthier and greener place to live.
When you book a skip with us, we’ll recycle as much of its contents as possible. We have a 17-acre on-site facility to help separate and recycle materials, so whenever we collect a skip or waste from a customer, it’s processed through our innovative picking facility to separate recyclable materials.
