Make the 2 yard skip work harder
Choose this size when you can see the full pile before booking. If the waste is still growing, moving up to a 4 yard skip is usually cheaper than ordering twice.
Mini skips work well for dense waste because the smaller volume helps keep soil, bricks and concrete within safe transport limits.
Road or drive?
A 2 yard skip on private land normally needs no road permit. On a public road, pavement or parking bay, the local council must approve the placement first.
