      How big is an 8-yard skip?

      Discover everything you need to know about an 8-yard skip and how the experts at GSH can efficiently manage your waste disposal.

      An 8 cubic yard skip is usually equivalent to around 12 feet long and 5 to 6 feet wide. In height, you can expect your skip to measure up to around 4 to 4.5 feet tall.

      For scale, an 8-yard skip is capable of holding approximately 60 to 80 bin bags of waste, or 8 standard-size washing machines.

      When should I use an 8-yard skip?

      These skips are hugely versatile, making them suitable for a comprehensive range of projects, such as decluttering, construction, or major renovation work. Whether you’re undergoing a domestic or commercial refurbishment, an 8-yard skip is suitable for large-scale needs due to its considerable size and weight capabilities (often carrying up to 8 tonnes of waste).

      With your 8-yard skip, you can dispose of general, building, and garden waste. To find out more about what you can and can’t store in your skip hire, check out our blog.

      Choosing the right skip size

      If it’s your first time hiring a skip, it can seem complicated as to where to start. Nevertheless, some easy tips for deciding on the best skip size for your requirements include:

      • Considering space: If you’re limited as to where you can put your skip, this might be something worth considering.
      • Project type: A small household clear-out will, of course, generate less waste than a larger project. An assessment of this can ensure a streamlined process when you hire your skip.

      Waste type and amount: Similarly to considering your project type, evaluating your waste requirements accordingly can help ensure that you’re choosing the most appropriate way to dispose of them.

      If 8 yards doesn’t sound like the right skip for you, our comprehensive services also include a 4, 12, and 16-yard skip hire. So, whatever your needs, we’ll have a solution for you.
