Small skip, handy for loads of jobs
Mini skips are made for the jobs that are too much for the car but not big enough for a proper skip. Clearing a shed, a garden tidy-up, the rubbish from a bit of decorating, that sort of thing.
It's small enough to go on nearly any drive, even the tight ones on terraced streets, and it's low so you can lift stuff straight in without a ladder.
Just don't underestimate how quick they fill up. If you're ripping anything out of the house, have a look at the midi as well before you book.
Good for
- Garden tidies
- Shed and loft clear-outs
- Clearing one room
- Small DIY and decorating jobs
- General household rubbish
- Green waste (leaves, grass, small branches)
- Light building waste (tiles, plaster, small bricks)
- Old furniture and household items
Who usually books it
- Homeowners
- Tenants
- Landlords
- DIYers
- Gardeners and landscapers doing light work
- Small trades
Not the right one if...
Anything involving a full kitchen or bathroom, or lots of bulky furniture. You'll fill it before you're halfway through. Go for the 4 yard midi skip instead.
Will a mini fit on my drive?
Easily. At 5ft by 4ft it's about a third of the length of a family car, so it'll go on pretty much any drive, even the narrow ones.
Keep the way in clear for the wagon. It needs roughly 3 metres width to get in close, and nothing low overhead like branches or phone lines where the arms lift.
No drive? It can go on the road outside with a permit. We sort that for you.
Drawn to scale from above.
What actually fits in a mini
Bin bags are a rubbish way to measure a job, so here's what one usually takes in practice. Every job's different though, so treat these as a rough guide.
A shed clear-out
The old mower, tools, bits of wood and years of junk you've been meaning to get rid of.
A garden tidy
Hedge cuttings, turf, a few bags of weeds and an old fence panel or two.
One room
The contents of a spare room, broken down, maybe a small chair or two.

What jobs are 2 yard skips suitable for?
Despite being small, it's sturdy enough for mixed waste from light home improvements, garden clearances and general household junk. Here are the most common uses for our 2 yard skips in Liverpool:
- Household clear-outs: perfect for old toys, clothes, boxes of junk from the loft or broken small furniture. Rather than overfilling your wheelie bins, you can clear 20 to 30 bags of household rubbish in one go.
- Garden waste and small landscaping jobs: a mini takes lawn clippings, leaves, branches, soil and other green waste. Lots of gardeners book one for spring and autumn trimmings, and the green waste gets recycled.
- Minor home renovations: doing up a small bathroom? A mini can usually take the old fixtures, tiles and plasterboard (bagged separately). Plenty of people book one to get rid of old carpets or cabinets.
How big is a 2 yard skip?
While it's the smallest skip we offer, a 2 yard skip holds a surprising amount. You can fit around 20 to 30 bin bags, or roughly six household wheelie bins' worth of rubbish.
A typical 2 yard skip measures about 1.5 metres long, 1.2 metres wide and 0.9 metres high, which is roughly 5ft by 4ft by 3ft. It's compact enough for most drives, which is why it's popular for garden projects and small renovations.
How long can I keep the 2 yard skip?
Our 2 yard skips are hired for up to 7 days in Liverpool, with quick deliveries and pick-ups.
If your project runs over, you can extend the hire, so you can get rid of everything in one go.
Is a 2 yard skip the same as a 2 tonne skip?
People use both names for the same skip. Yards is the size, about 1.5 cubic metres of space. The tonnes bit is the most it's allowed to weigh, which is up to 2 tonnes for a mini.
Can I put soil and rubble in a mini?
Yes, small amounts are fine. Soil and rubble are heavy though, so you might hit the weight limit before it looks full. Ring us if it's mostly soil.
Can I fill it right to the top?
Up to the top edge, yes. Nothing above it though. If it's overloaded the driver can't legally take it, so he'll have to take some off first.
How quickly can you drop one off?
Next day most of the time. Same day if we've got one free, so ring early if it's urgent. Road skips depend on the council getting the permit through.
