When it comes to managing waste efficiently, choosing the right skip size is essential. Whether you’re clearing out your home, tackling a renovation, or managing construction waste, United Junk Skip Hire Ltd makes it simple with a complete range of skips from 2 yards to 8 yards, plus convenient 1-ton waste bags for smaller jobs.

Here’s a practical guide to help you decide which skip is best for your next project.

1 Ton Waste Bags – Small but Mighty

Perfect for small garden jobs or household waste, United Junk’s 1-ton waste bags offer a compact and affordable option for lighter loads. They’re ideal if you’re short on space but still need a tidy, manageable waste solution.

Price: £45.50 including VAT + £10 delivery

2 Yard Skip – The Compact Choice

The 2 yard skip is great for small domestic clear-outs, minor DIY projects, or garden waste. It holds roughly 20 to 25 bin bags, making it ideal for tidying up without overcommitting to a larger skip.

Price: From £125 including VAT (Outer Stockport / Manchester areas)

3 Yard Skip – For Small Home Projects

Stepping up in size, the 3 yard skip handles around 30 to 35 bin bags of waste. It’s a popular option for kitchen or bathroom refits, garden tidy-ups, and general household jobs.

Price: From £144 including VAT (All areas)

3.5 Yard Skip – A Little Extra Room

The 3.5 yard skip offers just enough extra space for those projects that don’t quite fit in a 3 yard skip. It holds about 40 bin bags, giving you flexibility for slightly larger domestic or light commercial jobs.

Price: From £168 including VAT (All areas)

4 Yard Skip – The All-Round Favourite

For most mid-sized projects, the 4 yard skip is the go-to option. It holds approximately 45 to 55 bin bags and is ideal for home renovations, garden clear-outs, and garage decluttering.

Price: From £192 including VAT (All areas)

8 Yard Skip – The Builder’s Choice

When you need serious waste capacity, the 8 yard skip delivers. Commonly known as a builder’s skip, it holds around 80 to 100 bin bags, making it perfect for construction, commercial waste, or large house renovations.

Price: From £288 including VAT (All areas)

Additional Information and Permits

All skip prices include VAT, and hire is for up to 7 days unless otherwise agreed. For skips placed on public roads or pavements, United Junk will arrange a council permit for just £42 including VAT.

It’s important to fill your skip level to the top for safe transport — overfilled skips may incur extra charges. Payment is due before or on delivery (by card or cash), with invoices sent weekly by email.
