Wakefield Skip Hire

What size skip do I need?

Pick the right size and you save money and hassle. Too small and you'll need a second skip; too large and you're paying for space you won't use. Here's how to get it spot on.

Common questions

What's the most popular skip size in Wakefield?+
The 8-yard Maxi Skip is our most popular choice. It holds around 100 bin bags and is ideal for home renovations, large garden clearances and construction projects across WF1 to WF17. It's the best all-rounder for most domestic jobs.
Can I mix different types of waste in one skip?+
Yes, you can mix most types of general waste in a single skip. The main exception is the 16-yard Jumbo Skip, which is for light waste only — no rubble, bricks, soil or concrete. If you have heavy materials, the 8-yard Maxi Skip is the better option.
What if I order the wrong size?+
Don't worry — just give us a ring on 01924 63 73 30 and we'll arrange a swap or an extra skip. As a rule of thumb, it's worth going slightly larger than you think you'll need, because skips fill up faster than most people expect.
