When hiring a skip you can be sure that hiring the right size skip for your waste will be easy. Hiring a skip the wrong size can result in not having enough room in the skip half way through filling it, or in having hired a skip that is too big and thus costly to fill.
Mini Skip (2 to 3 Cubic Yards)
The smallest of our skips, the Mini is approximately 2-3 cubic yards in size, equivalent to about 25-35 bin bags. Perfect for a garden clear, a small bathroom clear or even a single room clear. Ideal for driveways, with plenty of room to park your car.
Midi Skip (4 to 5 Cubic Yards)

You can fill it with all household waste like furniture, carpets, general waste, old curtains, old bathroom fitments etc. Also Ideal for a garden clear out or for a skip on a small building site where the rubbish is not going to fill a large skip.
Builder’s Skip (6 to 8 Cubic Yards)
A builder’s skip is the most commonly hired skip size. These can be used to throw away rubble, timber, plasterboard and other types of waste generated by renovation projects. These are often used for large amounts of household and building waste for long duration projects.
Large and Roll-On Roll-Off Skips (10 to 40 Cubic Yards) If you want Swansea Skip Hire, [https:https://pendragonskiphire.co.uk/swansea-skip-hire/](//pendragonskiphire.co.uk/swansea-skip-hire) is a good place to start.

This type of skip is used for large skip hire projects such as those undertaken in Swansea and can be sourced from Pendragon Skip Hire.
Two Sizing Mistakes to Avoid
However most people make one of two mistakes when it comes to ordering the correct skip size. Firstly most people underestimate the amount of waste produced during a renovation and therefore end up having to order a larger number of skips than anticipated. A lot of renovation waste is bulky and as a result it can fill up a large number of skips quickly. Secondly some people order skips that are too large for their needs. This is particularly true for a house clearance where the amount of waste produced is usually small and as a result a midi skip is almost always sufficient and will work out to be cheaper than a large number of small skips.
Remember to check out how you can manage and dispose of your waste when hiring a skip to ensure it is done in the best and most cost effective way to you. Also check that the type of waste you have is allowed in a standard skip.
Selecting the best skip size at the start of your project helps avoid having a second skip delivered, which can be costly and inconvenient.
