Full Description
Our most compact skip for small jobs and tight spaces - the 4-yard skip handles 40-50 bin bags and fits almost anywhere. Perfect when you have limited space but still need proper waste removal.
Is This Right for Your Project?
Perfect if you're:
  • Doing a small bathroom or toilet refurbishment
  • Clearing out a small shed or understairs cupboard
  • Light garden tidy-up (20-30 wheelbarrow loads)
  • Small office clearance or shop refit
  • DIY projects with limited waste
Too small if you're:
  • Renovating an entire bathroom with lots of tiles (try 6-yard)
  • Clearing out a garage or loft (try 6-yard or 8-yard)
  • Any kitchen work (definitely need 8-yard minimum)
Most people underestimate their waste. If you're unsure between 4-yard and 6-yard, the 6-yard is safer and only slightly more.
What Actually Fits? Think 40-50 black bin bags or:
  • Small bathroom: Toilet, sink, small cabinet, some tiles, flooring
  • Garden tidy-up: 2 tonnes of soil, small hedge trimmings, old plants
  • Shed clearance: Garden tools, broken furniture, boxes, general junk
  • Small DIY: Old flooring and wood
  • Flat clearance: Unwanted flat-pack and wooden furniture, boxes, wardrobes, old tools, junk (upholstered chairs and mattresses need declaring), boxes, household items
Dimensions: Length: 1.83 m, Width: 1.22 m, Height: 0.91 m - our smallest skip
Weight limit: Up to 4 tonnes
Best for: Tight driveways, narrow access, small projects

Why Not Just Use Bin Bags? 4-yard skip: Delivered tomorrow, fill over 14 days, we collect 40+ bin bags to the tip: £20-40 fuel + multiple trips + heavy lifting Council collection: Limited to 3-4 items, 1-2 week wait, restricted items
The skip saves time and your back. Even for "small" jobs with 40+ bags.
4-Yard vs 6-Yard - Which Size?
Choose 4-yard if: Very small job, tight space, definitely under 50 bin bags Choose 6-yard if: Full bathroom, shed clearance, or any uncertainty about amount
Honest advice: Most people underestimate their waste by 30-40%. The 6-yard skip is only slightly more and you won't risk needing a second skip.

Compact skip hire for Glasgow driveways and small clear-outs

It holds around 40-50 bin bags, which suits a single small job.

Ideal uses for a 4 yard skip in Glasgow

  • Small DIY jobs: Offcuts, old flooring and packaging from one room. Several rooms? Go up a size.
  • Bathroom or toilet strip-out: A suite, basin and a few tiles from a cloakroom or downstairs toilet. A full family bathroom needs a bigger skip. See our bathroom refit guide.
  • Shed and cupboard clear-outs: Tools, broken wooden furniture and boxes from a shed or store room.
  • Light garden tidy: Hedge trimmings, plants and a little soil. Keep heavy soil to a minimum, as it fills the weight limit fast. See our garden clearance guide.

Choosing the right size

4-yard or 6-yard? Pick the 4-yard if the job is one small space and you're sure you're under 50 bin bags. Pick the 6-yard for a full bathroom, a shed with a lot in it, or any doubt about the amount. If you're torn between a 4-yard and a 6-yard, the 6-yard gives you more room. An overfilled skip can be refused and charged, so spare space is safer.

Placement and permits

Road and pavement placement needs a permit from Glasgow City Council, which you must arrange yourself. For a driveway or private land, just tell us the spot when you book. If access is tight, say so when you book. A delivery that cannot go ahead can incur a wasted journey charge. Skips on driveways, grass or pavements are placed at your own risk: we accept no liability for surface damage, and a waiver may be required.

Weight

Weight limit: up to 4 tonnes. The size is 4 yards of space, and the 4 tonnes is how much weight it can carry. They are two different numbers. Do not load above the top rim.
