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 Nottingham?
A 12-yard skip on a Nottingham street needs the same permission as every other size. Private land is different.
On a drive or private land? Nottingham City Council's permit is about the public road. A skip on private land is placed at your own risk, so pick a spot that can take the weight.
On a public road? You need a permit. Nottingham City Council's own skip hire page says a skip on a public road needs one. Tell us when you book so the permit can be sorted before delivery.

Nottingham permits

  • The council's fee schedule says applications must be made in advance, so book early.
  • Skips are not part of Nottingham's road works permit scheme, which has its own arrangements.
  • The council charges a fee, and permit fees are non-refundable.

Before you book

  • Give us the exact spot and any access restrictions when you book.
  • Fill the skip level with the rim, with no boards.

Think in tonnes: the 12 yard skip in Nottingham

The limit is up to 8 tonnes. The space is 3.7 m by 1.78 m and 1.68 m high, about 110 to 130 bin bags.

Ideal uses for a 12 yard skip in Nottingham

  • Rear extension: Timber, packaging and offcuts. Plasterboard is prohibited. See our house extension guide.
  • Whole-house contents: Furniture and boxes. Mattresses, sofas and chairs are prohibited. See our house clearance guide.
  • Shop strip-out: Fixtures and flooring. See our commercial fit-out guide.
  • Multi-room renovation: Flooring, boards and packaging from several rooms.

Choosing the right size

The 12 yard has the same 8 tonne limit as the smaller 8 yard, so heavy waste does not benefit from the extra space. It is for bulky mixed waste.

Weight

Up to 8 tonnes. Brick, concrete and soil will reach this long before the skip is full, so split them across skips.

Placement and permits

Check for overhead cables and where the lorry can stand. Nottingham City Council issues permits for the public road or pavement, and you apply. Tell us about restrictions at booking.
