Skip Hire Options – At Wigan Skip Hire, we’re proud to provide a practical solution to waste disposal for a variety of projects. Whether it’s a simple clear-out, home improvements, or more heavy-duty construction, we can offer a suitable skip to make the job easier for you.
In this blog we’ll explain which skip sizes are available and what you can expect from our services when you hire our skips. Read on to find out what Wigan Skip Hire can do for you, and why you should choose us for skip hire in Wigan or skip hire in Bolton.
2 yard skips
These mini skips are the smallest size available, ideal for domestic jobs that produce too much waste for regular bin collections but not enough to fill a large skip. They tend to be around 4ft by 5ft and 3ft high, allowing them to fit on most driveways easily.
With a capacity of 2 cubic yards, these surprisingly spacious skips can hold the equivalent of up to 4 wheelie bins or 20-30 bin bags of rubbish. For gardening projects, that’s about 9 wheelbarrows’ worth of garden waste.
4 yard skips
Midi skips are the next size up, perfect for kitchen or bathroom renovations or medium home clearances. They can accommodate larger and bulkier furniture than a mini skip, as they’re twice the size with a capacity of 4 cubic yards.
These skips are usually about 5ft by 7ft and 3ft high, able to fit in larger front yards or driveways. They can hold up to 8 wheelie bins, 40-50 bin bags, or 18 wheelbarrows of waste. It’s best to size up to this one if you aren’t sure whether a 2 yard skip will be big enough.
8 yard skips
Maxi skips are sometimes called builder’s skips, because this size is popular for construction projects. An 8 yard skip is the largest size available for domestic projects, and also the largest size which can safely be filled with soil or rubble and legally placed on a public highway.
They’re usually around 6-7ft by 11-12ft and 4-5ft high. With a capacity of 8 cubic yards, they’re double the size of midi skips, able to contain up to 16 wheelie bins or 80-90 bin bags of waste. That’s the equivalent of up to 36 wheelbarrows of debris.

Permits for skip hire in Bolton
Should you need to place your skip on the public road outside your property, you must get a permit from the local council. Whether you’re booking skip hire in Wigan or skip hire in Bolton, we can sort out the permit application on your behalf, so you don’t need to worry about it.
When securing a permit is necessary before we can deliver the skip, we do require at least 48 hours’ notice to make these arrangements. Skip permits also incur an added fee, which we’ll include in the total cost of your skip hire when you notify us at the time of booking.
Eco-friendly waste disposal
We have many years of experience in professional waste disposal, so you can trust that Wigan Skip Hire always takes care of the contents of your skip responsibly. If you have any concerns about the environmental impact of this method of waste disposal, you can rest assured that we aim to sort and transfer waste as sustainably as possible.
Most of the waste from clearances and DIY jobs is recyclable, such as wood, metal, soil, rubble, and certain plastics. We commit to recycling at least 90% of the waste from every skip after we collect them, reducing the amount of rubbish that ends up in landfill.
