The 8YD builders skip is perfect for the removal of large quantities of bulky waste such as soil, rubble etc. or if you are having a large house clear-out. If filled with soil, they are designed to hold up to 8 tonnes in weight. They can also come with a drop door option to help for easier loading. To request a drop door version, please email or call our office as the default version is the standard 8yd skip without a drop door.
This size of skip is the most common and popular size of skip we supply. As result, we always have plenty of these in stock to help meet demand. They are roughly the size of a family car (measurements below) and are therefore ideal for sitting in a designated parking space or driveway (with permission from the owner).
Please note any furniture’s with fabric or foam i.e. sofa’s, armchairs, mattress’ etc… will come at an additional disposal cost.
