Room to work: 8-yard skip hire in Birmingham

For a kitchen, a garage or a few rooms at once, the 8-yard is a sensible size.

Ideal uses for an 8 yard skip in Birmingham

  • Garage and loft clear-outs: Stored wooden furniture, boxes and tools. Mattresses, sofas and chairs are prohibited items.
  • Multi-room refurbs: Timber, flooring and fittings from two or three rooms. Plasterboard is prohibited.
  • Garden landscaping: Fence panels, decking, hedge trimmings and turf from a full garden project. Keep soil and rubble below the weight limit. See our garden clearance guide.
  • Kitchen renovations: Units, worktops, tiles and flooring from a full kitchen. Appliances are electrical goods, which are prohibited. See our kitchen renovation guide.

Choosing the right size

If your project covers more than one room, start with this size, not a smaller one. 8-yard or 6-yard? Choose the 6-yard for one room. Choose the 8-yard for a kitchen, a garage, or anything that spans more than one room. 8-yard or 12-yard? Go to the 12-yard for a whole-house clearance or a big structural job.

Weight

Weight limit: up to 8 tonnes. Load to the top rim only, never above it.

Placement and permits

An 8-yard skip is about 3.7 m long, so check you have the space on your driveway. Road and pavement placement needs a permit from Birmingham City Council, which you must arrange yourself. For a driveway or private land, just tell us the spot when you book. Mention any site or access restrictions when you book, because a delivery that cannot go ahead can incur a wasted journey charge. If the skip sits on a driveway, grass or pavement, that is at your own risk. Surface damage is not our liability, and a waiver may be required.
