FAQs
6 yard skip questions.
Is a 6 yard skip too big for a driveway?
Usually not. It’s roughly the length of a family car, just a little taller.
Can I put rubble in it?
Yes. The 6 yard takes up to 4 tonnes, which makes it a good fit for mixed renovation waste.
How quickly can you deliver?
Often next day, and same day in many areas if you book before midday.
Do I need to be in for delivery?
Not if we have clear instructions on where to place the skip.
What happens to the waste?
It goes to a licensed transfer station where over 90% is sorted and recycled.
