The Skip VS The Tip

Why Large Skip Hire Beats the Tip

Clearing out bulky household waste, garden rubbish or renovation debris can be time-consuming and messy. While some opt for repeated trips to the local tip, large skip hire offers a much more convenient and efficient way to manage your waste—especially when there’s a lot of it.

At SkipHire UK, we supply a wide range of skip sizes to suit every job, including our most popular options: the 6 yard skip and the 8 yard skip. These are ideal for both domestic and trade customers tackling larger volumes of waste.

Less Hassle, More Convenience

Hiring a large skip means your waste solution is delivered directly to your property. Instead of making several time-consuming journeys to the tip, you can dispose of your waste as you go. Whether it’s a garden overhaul or a kitchen refit, having a skip right outside your door makes the whole process much easier.

Ideal for Bigger Projects

If you’re generating more than one car-load of waste, tipping becomes a chore. A 6 yard skip is perfect for bulky household rubbish and garden waste, while an 8 yard skip is best for heavier materials like bricks, soil or rubble. Both options are large enough to handle the demands of most home improvement projects.

No Damage to Your Vehicle

Dirty, dusty or sharp waste can ruin your car’s interior. From bad smells to torn upholstery and scratched paintwork, multiple trips to the tip can cost more than just your time. With a skip, everything stays outside—simple and stress-free.

Skip Hire Means Less Sorting

Tips often require you to separate waste into different streams. With a skip, there’s no need to worry. Once your skip is collected, our waste partners will sort and process the contents—saving you the effort.

Flexible Delivery and Placement

Whether you’ve got space on your driveway or need a permit to place the skip on the road, we can arrange everything. Our drivers are experienced in delivering skips across all kinds of properties, including narrow streets in cities like Liverpool.

Choosing the Right Skip for Your Waste

  • 6 yard skip – Best for bulky items, general household clear-outs, and garden projects.

  • 8 yard skip – Suitable for heavy waste like hardcore, concrete, and soil from renovation or building works.
