8 Yard Skip Hire
Stanbridge, Leighton Buzzard, Bedfordshire

Do you need 8 Yard Skip Hire for building or clearance in Stanbridge, Leighton Buzzard or Bedfordshire? We offer quality skip hire for construction sites or domestic building work.

What is an 8-yard skip used for?

The most popular skip size in the UK is the 8-yard. It lends itself to various commercial, industrial and domestic projects or scenarios for many types of waste, bulky and lightweight.

It's ideal for bulky waste that is much heavier and often used better on construction sites to collect masses of rubble, soil or slabs of concrete that wouldn't fit into a smaller cubic yard skip; perfect for clearing out the whole house during large clearances for bigger homes and major renovation work.

8-yard skips may accommodate approximately 60-80 bin bags depending on the kind of waste you intend to dispose of.

For much more extensive projects, the 8-yarder is far more convenient and offers high-quality and optimum value for any building or clearance project you're working on.

8-yard Skip Dimensions & Capacity

The standard dimensions for an 8-yard skip are as follows; the volume is 6.1m3, the height is 1.22m, the width is 1.68m, and the overall length is 3.66m. These measurements make them perfect for heavier, bulky waste materials for various building projects.

The capacity at which a skip can hold measures in cubic yards. The best and easiest way to figure out how much your skip can withstand is by looking at the cubic yard. The rule of thumb advises that each cubic yard can hold a tonne of weight- roughly 340 standard house bricks.

For an 8 cubic yard skip, this translates into a weight capacity of 8 tonnes. If you intend on filling the skip with rubble or soil, please note that you should not hire anything more significant than an 8-yard skip, as the lorry may not be able to lift such a heavy load.

Why choose an 8-yard Skip?

There are various reasons why one might choose an 8-yard skip over a 4-yard skip or 6-yard skip. Whilst most skips can appear the same; some are more suitable for other purposes and functions.

The 8-yard skip is ideal for all kinds of projects and locations, both domestic and commercial. Companies may hire them out for office clearances or big building projects, and homeowners may hire them for house clearances and refurbishments. The 8-yard is the most popular skip on the market, likely due to its versatility and great size.

It is the largest skip available for soils and rubble making it fantastic for garden clearance projects and building projects or demolition.
