Full Description
Our largest standard skip for major projects and full clearances - the 12-yard skip handles 110-130 bin bags and is perfect when you're tackling big jobs. If an 8-yard feels too small, this is your answer.
Is This Right for Your Project?
Perfect if you're:
- Clearing out an entire house or full flat
- Renovating multiple rooms or a whole floor
- Major building project or extension work
- Large garden landscaping (60+ wheelbarrow loads of light waste)
- Commercial clearance or shop refit
Too big if you're:
- Just doing a single room (try 8-yard)
- Small bathroom or bedroom (try 6-yard)
- Limited driveway space (this skip is 12ft long)
Upgrade from 8-yard? If you're unsure whether your project needs 8-yard or 12-yard, the 12-yard is only slightly more and removes the risk of running out of space mid-project.
What Actually Fits?
Think 110-130 black bin bags or:
- Full house clearance: Entire flat or 3-bedroom house contents
- Multi-room renovation: Kitchen + 2 bathrooms, or full floor refurbishment
- Large building project: Extension waste, timber, and packaging
- Commercial clearance: Office fit-out, shop refit, restaurant renovation
- Garden project: Light garden waste only (see weight warning below)
Dimensions: Length: 3.7 m, Width 1.78 m, Height 1.68 m - our largest standard skip
Weight limit: Up to 8 tonnes
Important for heavy waste: This skip takes up significant space. If you're disposing primarily of soil, rubble, or concrete, consider TWO 8-yard skips instead - easier to position and manage weight distribution.
Why Choose easySkip?
- Next-day delivery available (order before 2pm)
- All-inclusive pricing - delivery, 14-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 property (driveway/garden): No permit needed - but check you have 12ft of clear space
On the road: We arrange the permit for you
Why Choose a Skip Over Alternatives?
12-yard skip: One delivery, 14 days to fill at your pace, we handle everything
House clearance company: £400-800+ and you work to their schedule
Multiple 8-10 tip runs: £100-200 fuel + 2 full days + exhausting physical work
For major projects, the skip is the smart choice. You control the timeline, not the other way around.
12-Yard vs 8-Yard - Which Size?
Choose 12-yard if you're doing:
- Full house clearance (entire flat or 3+ bedroom house)
- Multi-room renovation (2+ rooms simultaneously)
- Major construction work (extension, loft conversion)
- Commercial project with significant waste
Choose 8-yard if you're doing:
- Single room renovation (kitchen, bathroom, bedroom)
- Single garage or loft clearance
- Small to medium building project
Price difference: The 12-yard is only slightly more than the 8-yard. If you're on the fence, go with the 12-yard - you won't regret having extra space, but you will regret running out halfway through.
Space & Weight Considerations
Space needed:
- Driveway: You need at least 12ft × 6ft of clear space
- Access: Delivery lorry needs 3 meters width to maneuver
- Height: Overhead clearance of 15ft (cables, branches, etc.)
Weight limits:
Light waste such as flat-pack and wooden furniture, boxes, wardrobes, old tools, junk (upholstered chairs and mattresses need declaring)
Heavy waste (soil, rubble, concrete): Max 8 tonnes - about 1/3 to 1/2 full
Mixed waste: Spread heavy items throughout, don't pile all in one spot
Pro tip: If your project is mainly heavy materials like soil or concrete, book TWO 8-yard skips instead. Easier to position, manage weight, and often works out similar cost.

Do you need a permit for a 12-yard skip in Newcastle?
A 12-yard skip on a Newcastle street needs the same permission as every other size. Private land is different.
On private property? No permit needed. Newcastle City Council says a permit is for skips on the public highway. A skip on private property is placed at your own risk, so pick a spot that can take the weight.
On a public road? You need a permit. The legal basis is Section 139 of the Highways Act 1980. Tell us when you book so the permit can be sorted before delivery.
Newcastle permit rules
- A permit lasts 28 days at most, and renewal is not automatic.
- The council charges a fee, and permit fees are non-refundable.
Where a Newcastle skip sits
- Not on the footway or verge
- Leaving at least 3.1 metres of carriageway clear
- A skip in a bay, such as pay and display, loading, disabled or taxi, needs a separate parking suspension
Before you book
- Tell us whether the spot is a parking bay when you book, along with the exact spot and any access issues.
- Keep the load level with the top rim and boards off.
