Hi everyone,

Having never has a skip before, can someone give me their opinion on what size skip i will need based on looking at the pictures below?

On this image, it is piles of soil (1 pile is 1 full wheelbarrow) across the whole border of the back garden.

I am thinking a 4 yard skip? - your thoughts?

Cheers

For that amount, I'd but a load of rubble bags and do a few runs to the local tip.
Skips are $$$

Amazes me the people who get a skip for stuff that could, in some cases just go in a few wheelie bins, and the boot of a car.

It amazes me at what lengths people go to, to avoid hiring a skip.

Yo, Marky, that should all fit in a mini skip with perhaps room to spare. I'd pop into the loft and have a clear out. Make sure the missus isn't in or she'll be putting it all back.

Ask the neighbours if they want to share the cost of a skip and they can fill it too.

Or get a hippo bag.

Ive ordered a 6 yard mini builders skip. I have a fair bit to get rid of in the loft aswel as the shed. £150 all in not too bad!

Fair play to ya bud.

Some folk would spend hours fannying about cluttering the local tip up, all day. Ok for doddering pensioners though I guess.

I'm not sure that this is a Building Regs/Planning matter

The problem with the big bags is that they are fine to fill up when in the boot of the car, it's getting them out again that's the problem
