Skips are sized in an old-fashioned way and are usually referred to in cubic yards.
These skips also have names, making it difficult to know precisely what you are getting. For example, some companies call a 6-yard skip, a ‘Builders Skip’, whilst others call an 8-yard skip a ‘Builders Skip’.
The smallest skips are usually 2 cubic yards in size and are called a ‘Mini Skip’. There is 4 yard ‘Midi Skips’ as well.
Going up from this is the ‘Builders’ skips which are 6 - 8 cubic yards. After this, there are the ‘Maxi’ and ‘Extra-Large’ skips which range from 10 to 16 yards.
