Choose with confidence
Skip sizes for Birmingham projects.
Use the guide as a starting point. The best choice depends on the material, the amount of waste and the space available for delivery.
A simple guide
Match the container to the project, not just the pile.
Exact availability and dimensions should be confirmed before booking. If you are between sizes, call and describe the work.
Three checks
Before you choose a size.
- What is the waste?Light household waste takes up space differently from rubble, timber or bulky fixtures.
- How much will there be?Consider the full project, not just what has already been removed.
- Where will it sit?Access and placement can determine which option is practical.
Still unsure?
Call before you order.
Talk through the material, access and project size so the next step is clear.

Read the mini-skip guide for small DIY loads, midi-skip guide for room refurbishments or builders-skip guide for trade waste. These are planning categories, not a confirmed inventory or promise of exact cubic-yard sizes.
Capacity is not the only limit
Heavy waste can reach a loading limit before filling the container. Confirm dimensions, load restrictions and the waste list before ordering. Do not pile waste above the agreed loading level. Read the waste-types guide and ask about your project’s size and access.
Quick answers
Before you make an enquiry.
Which skip size should I choose?
The right size depends on the material, the amount of waste and the available placement space. Start with the skip-size guide, then call the team so the choice can be checked against your project.
How long can I hire a skip for?
The hire period has not been published. Agree the delivery date, collection date and any extension conditions before booking. For roadside placement, also check the permit period; it is not automatically the same as the hire period.
