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

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.

6 yard skip hire in London for a room or a garden

The 6 yard is 2.6 m long, 1.5 m wide and 1.25 m high, with room for 40 to 60 bin bags.

Ideal uses for a 6 yard skip in London

  • Bathroom strip-out: Bath, toilet, basin, tiles and floor covering. See our bathroom refit guide.
  • Fitted wardrobes and bedroom units: Doors, panels and rails from a bedroom. Mattresses are prohibited.
  • Garden fence and shrubs: Panels, posts and cut branches. See our garden clearance guide.
  • Patio or path: Slabs and edging. Keep an eye on the weight as you load. See our driveway and patio removal guide.

Choosing the right size

A job that fits in one room, or one patch of garden, fits in 6 yards. A kitchen, a garage or a second room takes you to the 8 yard.

Weight

Up to 6 tonnes. Slabs and soil reach that early, so go by weight with those. Load level with the top rim.

Placement and permits

At 2.6 m it needs more space than the 4 yard, so measure before you book. For the road or pavement, the permit comes from your borough council and you must apply for it. If access is restricted, tell us when you book, because a delivery that cannot go ahead can be charged as a wasted journey.
