A kitchen, a garage or a small build? The 8 yard in Edinburgh

3.66 m long, 1.68 m wide and 1.22 m high, which is around 70 to 90 bin bags.

Ideal uses for an 8 yard skip in Edinburgh

  • Refitting a kitchen: Cupboards, worktops, tiles and flooring. Cookers and fridges are prohibited. See our kitchen renovation guide.
  • A small renovation: Timber, offcuts and packaging from a modest extension or conversion. See our house extension guide.
  • The garage: Boxes, wooden furniture and tools. Mattresses and sofas are prohibited.
  • Tidying the whole garden: Decking, fence panels and hedge cuttings. See our garden clearance guide.

Choosing the right size

This is the size where one room stops being enough and a whole house is still too much. If you can name two or three jobs, it fits. If you are emptying a house or doing structural work, look at the 12 yard.

Weight

The limit is up to 8 tonnes. Fill to the top rim, never above it.

Placement and permits

The skip is about 3.7 m long, so check your drive. City of Edinburgh Council issues permits for the road or pavement, and you apply. A skip on a driveway, grass or pavement is at your own risk, we accept no liability for surface damage, and a waiver may be required.
