Clean green waste £200; mixed/general £320. No soil or hardcore. All prices exclude VAT and assume an approved load and safe placement. Confirm the current total and delivery arrangements.

Is an 8-yard skip right for your job?
An 8-yard skip, often called a builder's skip, holds roughly 70 to 80 bin bags. It's the one for big renovations, whole-house clearances and building projects with lots of light, bulky waste. Heavy soil and rubble aren't allowed in this size. Mixed waste is £320 + VAT and green waste is £200 + VAT, and it needs the most space, so check the drive or road position first.
Jobs this size is typically considered for
Bulky house clearance material, renovation packaging and sizeable approved green waste loads.
Rather than estimating from the room alone, list the material type, approximate number of bags or bulky objects, and whether the load contains masonry. Volume and weight are separate limits, so a large light load and a small dense load may need different sizes.
What should not go in it?
Do not fill with heavy earth, rubble or hardcore. Keep material level with the top.
Electrical items, batteries, chemicals, asbestos and some upholstered furniture require separate checks. Consult our skip waste guide and ask us if anything is uncertain. Never assume a low weight allows an otherwise restricted item.
Fitting the skip and arranging delivery
The term “8 yards” describes volume, not exact external length or width. Gates, overhanging branches, parked cars and the vehicle’s approach can all affect safe delivery. Send a photograph and postcode to check access. On-road positioning may require a highway licence.
Check an 8-yard against multiple smaller skips if your load contains heavy or mixed material. Use our size comparison to review alternatives.
Real jobs that fit an 8-yard skip
The 8-yard skip is often called a builder's skip, and it is the largest size we offer. It takes roughly 70 to 80 bin bags of mixed waste, which makes it the choice for full renovations, big house clearances and large garden projects.
Trades use it for strip-outs where a lot of light but bulky waste builds up, like old kitchens, flooring, timber and packaging. Householders choose it when they are clearing a whole property and want to do it in one go.
Like the 6-yard skip, it is not for soil or hardcore, because a full load of heavy material would be unsafe to lift. It also needs a decent amount of space and a firm surface, so check your drive or plan for a road permit before booking.
Frequently asked questions
Can I put soil or rubble in a 8-yard skip?
Heavy soil and rubble are restricted to appropriate 2- or 4-yard loads, not 6- or 8-yard skips. Confirm material and weight limits when booking.
Are outside dimensions the same for every skip?
No. Dimensions vary between containers and suppliers. Request the precise container measurements if fitting into a tight space is essential.
