2 Yard Skip Hire — Mini skip
The smallest skip we supply. Ideal where space is tight or the job is small — a bathroom strip-out, a garden tidy-up or a single-room clear-out.
Dimensions & capacity
| Size | 2 Yard Skip |

| Also known as | Mini skip |
| Approx. dimensions | 1.5m × 1.2m × 0.9m |

Because it is compact, a mini skip is the easiest size to fit on a short driveway without a permit.

What a 2 yard skip is ideal for
- Small garden clearances
- Bathroom strip-outs
- Single-room clear-outs
- Soil and rubble in small volumes
What you can't put in it
The same rules apply to every skip size: no fridges, electricals, tyres, plasterboard, asbestos, chemicals, batteries, mattresses or upholstered furniture. See our full guide to what can and can't go in a skip before you load up.
Do you need a permit?
If the skip sits on your driveway or private land, no permit is needed. On a public road you need one from the council — we arrange it as part of the booking, so you don't have to deal with the paperwork.
