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 Choose easySkip?

  • All-inclusive pricing - delivery, 14-day hire, collection included

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.

FAQ

Do you need a permit for a 4-yard skip in Milton Keynes?
Small skip, same rules: a 4-yard on a Milton Keynes street is treated like any other size.
On a drive or private land? Milton Keynes City Council's licence applies to the adopted highway. A skip on private land is placed at your own risk, so pick a spot that can take the weight.
On an adopted road? You need a licence. The council checks this on its mapping tool: if any part of the work area is shaded as adopted highway, a licence is needed. Tell us when you book so the permit can be sorted before delivery.

Milton Keynes licence rules

  • A skip on highway licence covers 7 days, and an extension adds another 7.
  • Working without the right licence can mean a penalty fee on top of the licence fee. Permit fees are non-refundable.

Where a skip can sit

  • At least 10 metres from any junction, bend or corner, unless the licence says otherwise
  • At least 20 metres from a bus stop
  • Not on a footway or verge unless the licence allows it
The skip has to be removed within 24 hours of notification that it is full.

Before you book

  • Give us the exact spot and any access restrictions when you book.
  • Keep the load level with the top rim and boards off.

What goes in a 4 yard skip in Milton Keynes, material by material

The skip is 1.83 m by 1.22 m, takes about 40 to 50 bin bags and carries up to 4 tonnes.

Ideal uses for a 4 yard skip in Milton Keynes

  • Tiles and ceramics: A cloakroom's toilet, basin and wall tiles. See our bathroom refit guide.
  • Timber: Shed shelving, old boards and short lengths of batten.
  • Garden waste: Hedge clippings and dead plants, with a little soil. See our garden clearance guide.
  • Floor coverings: Carpet, underlay and gripper rods from one room.

Choosing the right size

Heavy materials such as tiles and soil reach the weight limit first. Light materials such as timber and carpet fill the space first. If you are near 40 bags, take the 6 yard.

Placement and permits

A skip on a public road or pavement needs a permit from Milton Keynes City Council, which you obtain. The fee is not refunded. On your own land, tell us the spot when you book.

Weight

Up to 4 tonnes. Keep the load level with the top rim.
