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 Wakefield for a single room or garden

2.6 m long, 1.5 m wide and 1.25 m high, holding about 40 to 60 bin bags.

Ideal uses for a 6 yard skip in Wakefield

  • Bathroom clear-out: Bath, toilet, basin, tiles and the old floor. See our bathroom refit guide.
  • Garden fence replacement: Old panels, posts and cut hedging. See our garden clearance guide.
  • Breaking up a drive or patio: Slabs, edging and hardcore. These are heavy, so watch the weight. See our driveway and patio removal guide.
  • Loft and landing storage: Boxes, boards and old wooden furniture. Plasterboard and mattresses are prohibited.

Choosing the right size

One room or one outdoor job: 6 yards. Two rooms, or a kitchen: 8 yards. An overfilled skip can be refused, so do not squeeze the load in.

Weight

Up to 6 tonnes. Slabs and soil use that up fast. Keep the load level with the top rim.

Placement and permits

A 6 yard skip is 2.6 m long, so check the drive. On a public road or pavement, Wakefield Council issues the permit and you must obtain it. Mention any site restrictions when you book, because a delivery that cannot go ahead can incur a wasted journey charge.

How to book a 6 yard skip in Wakefield

Start with your Wakefield postcode, then choose your dates and send the hire request. You see the price before you pay. The booking is confirmed by email and delivery dates are estimates.
