Full Description
Heavy-duty skip for large construction and commercial projects - the 14-yard skip handles 130-140 bin bags and is built for serious jobs. Perfect for builders, contractors, and major renovations.
Is This Right for Your Project?
Perfect if you're:
  • Major construction project (extension, loft conversion, new build)
  • Large commercial clearance or shop fit-out
  • Demolition work with significant debris
  • Full house renovation (gutting multiple rooms)
  • Industrial or trade waste disposal
Choose 12-yard instead if:
  • Domestic house clearance with mainly light waste
  • Single-floor renovation
  • You have limited site access (12-yard is more manageable)
Contractor or builder? This size is designed for you - handles the volume from serious building projects while staying manageable on most sites.
What Actually Fits? Think 140-160 black bin bags or:
  • Major construction: Full loft conversion waste and extension debris
  • Commercial fit-out: Restaurant refit, shop renovation, office strip-out
  • House renovation: Gutting 2+ rooms, full-floor refurbishment with heavy materials
  • Demolition work: Taking down walls, removing fixtures, heavy building waste
  • Trade waste: Builder's waste from large projects, packaging, offcuts
Dimensions: Length: 4.2 m, Width 1.75 m, Height 1.8 m - substantial footprint
Weight limit: Up to 8 tonnes
Critical for heavy waste: If you're disposing primarily of soil, concrete, rubble, or bricks, DO NOT fill this skip to the top. Heavy materials should fill max 40-50% of skip capacity to stay within weight limits. Consider multiple smaller skips for pure heavy waste.
Why Choose easySkip?
  • Next-day delivery available (order before 2pm)
  • All-inclusive pricing - delivery, 7-day hire, collection included
  • Book online in 60 seconds - no phone calls needed
  • We aim to recycle 90%+ of your waste - environmentally responsible
Need a Permit?
  • On your site/property: No permit needed - but ensure 14ft × 6ft clear space
  • On the road: We arrange the permit for you - common for construction sites
  • Site managers: Plan delivery location carefully. Once positioned, moving a full 14-yard skip is difficult and expensive.
Compare Your Options for Large Projects:
  • 14-yard skip: One delivery, 14 days on site, handles major project waste
  • Multiple 8-yard skips: 2× 8-yard = 160 bags capacity but multiple deliveries = hassle
  • Grab lorry hire: £250-400 for 2-3 hours but you must load while they wait
  • Skip + return trips: First skip fills fast, second delivery means project delay
For continuous building work, one 14-yard skip keeps your site clear throughout the project.
Price comparison: The 14-yard is slightly more than 12-yard, but saves you from needing multiple deliveries mid-project. For builders and contractors, time is money.
Site Access & Weight Management Access Requirements:
  • Space needed: Minimum 14ft (length) × 6ft (width) clear area
  • Delivery vehicle: Lorry needs 3-4 meters width to maneuver
  • Overhead clearance: 15ft minimum (watch for cables, scaffolding, trees)
  • Ground surface: Firm ground required - not suitable for soft soil or newly laid surfaces
Weight Management (Critical):
Light materials (wood, packaging, furniture): Fill to top, no problem Mixed waste (building renovation - mix of materials): Fill to 75-80% capacity Heavy materials (soil, rubble, concrete, bricks): MAX 40-50% capacity only Overweight charges: If skip exceeds 8 tonnes, additional fees apply per tonne)
Builder's tip: Load heavy items first (bottom), then lighter materials on top. This maximises capacity while managing weight distribution.

14-yard skip hire in Glasgow for major projects

For most houses a 12-yard is enough. The 14-yard is for bigger renovations and trade jobs.

Ideal uses for a 14 yard skip in Glasgow

  • School and institutional refurbs: Wooden furniture, fittings and flooring cleared during a refurb. Electrical goods are prohibited items.
  • Loft conversions and extensions: A full conversion generates a lot of timber and packaging. Plasterboard is a prohibited item, so keep it out. See our loft conversion guide.
  • Clearances across several units: Several units cleared with one large skip. Mattresses, sofas and chairs are prohibited.
  • Shop and restaurant fit-outs: Fixtures, fittings and flooring from a larger unit. Book dates ahead of the trades. See our commercial fit-out guide.

Choosing the right size

If you're a homeowner, the 12-yard is usually enough. The 14-yard suits sites with real volume and the space for the skip. 14-yard or 12-yard? Take the 12-yard for houses and domestic jobs. Take the 14-yard where the volume is real and the site has the space. 14-yard or 16-yard? The 16-yard is for continuous waste on large sites and commercial developments.

Weight

Weight limit: up to 8 tonnes. Fill heavy waste such as concrete, soil and bricks to only part of the skip to stay inside the limit. Keep the load level with the top rim, never above it.

Placement and permits

This is a large skip, so site access matters. Check the length on the product details panel, the width of your gateway and the room for the lorry to reach the spot. Planning to put it on the road or pavement? You must get the permit from Glasgow City Council yourself. If it is going on your own land, tell us where 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.
