What size skip do I need for a kitchen?
For most kitchen refits, an 8 yard skip is ideal. It’s large enough to hold old cabinets, worktops, flooring, and general renovation waste. If you’re doing a full kitchen refit, the 8 yard skip will provide enough space without taking up too much space in your driveway.
What can you not put in an 8 yard skip?
You cannot put the following items in your 8 yard skip:
- WEE items like fridges, freezers, or electrical appliances
- Tyres and gas cylinders
- Paints, oils, solvents, and hazardous chemicals
- Mattresses (unless pre-approved while booking your skip)

How do I calculate what size skip I need?
To choose the right skip size, think about:
- The type of waste – Are you removing smaller, heavy waste like bricks or soil, or bulky waste like furniture? 8 yard skips are perfect for lighter waste that takes up more waste but weighs less overall.
- Volume of waste – Try to estimate how many bin bags or wheelie bins’ worth of waste you’ll be removing. 1 yard = around 10 bin bags.
