Full Description
Perfect for small renovations and quick clearances - the 6-yard skip handles 40-60 bin bags and is our most compact option that still packs serious capacity. Fits easily on most driveways and side roads.
Is This Right for Your Project?
Perfect if you're:
Renovating a single bathroom or small bedroom
Clearing out a shed, small garage, or loft
Tidying up a small garden (30-40 wheelbarrow loads)
Doing an office or shop clearance
Small building jobs or repairs
Too small if you're:
- Renovating a kitchen (try our 8-yard skip)
- Clearing out a full garage or multiple rooms
- Major landscaping with heavy soil/rubble
Not sure? Most people doing bathroom renovations or garden tidy-ups choose this size.
What Actually Fits?
Think 40-60 black bin bags or:
- Bathroom renovation: Old bathroom suite, tiles, cabinet, flooring, packaging
- Small clearance: Shed contents, boxes, small flat-pack and wooden furniture, boxes, wardrobes, old tools, junk (upholstered chairs and mattresses need declaring), household junk
- Garden tidy-up: 2-3 tonnes of soil, hedge trimmings, old fence panels, turf
- Office clear-out: Desks, chairs, files, carpets, general office waste
- DIY project: timber offcuts, old flooring, tiles
Dimensions: Length: 2.6m Width: 1.5m Height: 1.25m - our most compact skip size
Weight limit: Up to 6 tonnes

Need a Permit?
On your property (driveway/garden): No permit needed
On the road: We arrange the permit for you.
Why Not Just Use Your Car?
6-yard skip: One delivery, fill over 14 days, we handle everything
Multiple car/van trips: £40-80 in fuel + 4-6 hours + lifting heavy items yourself
Council bulky waste: £25+ per item + 1-2 week wait + limited items
Skip = smart choice. Especially when you've got 40+ bin bags worth of waste.
6-Yard vs 8-Yard - Which One?
Choose 6-yard if: Small bathroom, garden tidy-up, or office clearance
Choose 8-yard if: Kitchen renovation, full garage, or bigger building project
Still unsure? Go with the 8-yard - it's only slightly more and you won't risk running out of space.

Do you need a permit for a 6-yard skip in Edinburgh?
A 6-yard skip follows the same permit rules as every other size.
On a driveway or private land? The Edinburgh application form is for skips on a road. A skip on private land is placed at your own risk, so pick a spot that can take the weight.
On an Edinburgh road? You need a permit. The City of Edinburgh Council issues it as roads authority. Tell us when you book so the permit can be sorted before delivery.
Edinburgh permit rules
- The council asks for at least 5 working days' notice once it has everything it needs, and longer if a site meeting is needed.
- It cannot give a general approval time, so the skip waits for the formal approval.
- Fixed penalty notices can be issued for breaching permit conditions, and the council can withdraw a permit at any time. Permit fees are non-refundable.
Where a skip cannot go
- On Greenways, Clearways or double yellow lines
- On streets on the tram route restriction list
- In a parking bay without a suspension, which is charged
The council does not allow roll-on roll-off skips, and the maximum size is 5 metres by 2 metres.
Before you book
- Tell us the exact street and spot when you book.
- Keep the load level with the top rim and boards off.
