Kitchen and bathroom renovations
A useful starting point for planning your load. Break the job down into materials and check whether any large items need extra room.

Start with what you’re clearing
Does 6 yards
fit your plans?
Think about the material, the bulky items and the space available. A little detail now makes for a better choice.
Heavy materials? Check first.
Soil, rubble and concrete can reach weight limits before the skip looks full. Agree the waste type before selecting a size.
Leave room for the awkward bits.
Furniture and bulky waste do not pack like loose material. Tell us about anything unusually long, wide or difficult to break down.
A good fit goes beyond volume
Measure the space.
Check the access.
The “6 yard” size describes nominal capacity. The actual outside dimensions and delivery clearance need to be confirmed with the supplying operator.
The skip itself
Approx. 3.0 × 1.5 × 1.2 metres (length × width × height). Confirm the supplied dimensions and leave room for safe loading.
The delivery lorry
Check the route, gate width, turning space and overhead obstacles. A compact skip still needs vehicle access.
The position
Choose a suitable surface and get permission for private land. Public-road placement needs council approval.
Guide dimensions are approximate. Ask for the supplied container’s measurements; no single footprint fits every 6-yard skip.
Load it right
Know what goes in.
Before you begin.
Tell us what you’re clearing. The waste type matters just as much as the skip size, and acceptance must be agreed before booking.
Everyday project waste
Usually suitable when agreed:
- Non-hazardous household clutter
- Wood and timber
- Garden cuttings
- Light renovation waste
Let’s check first
May need a separate waste route:
- Soil, rubble and concrete
- Plasterboard
- Mattresses and carpets
- Upholstered seating and electricals
Keep these out
Excluded from standard skip hire:
- Asbestos or suspected asbestos
- Paint, liquids and chemicals
- Gas bottles and batteries
- Fuel, oil and clinical waste
Keep loads level with the rim. Heavy waste has weight limits; upholstered seating and electricals must not go into a standard mixed load without an agreed authorised route.
