Garden projects create a surprising amount of waste, and it is often heavier than people expect. Soil, turf, branches, old decking and broken slabs add up fast. Choosing the right skip makes clearing it simple and keeps the cost down.
Light green waste
Grass cuttings, hedge trimmings, leaves and small branches are light and bulky. For a weekend tidy-up, a 2 yard mini skip is often plenty and sits neatly on a driveway.
Soil, turf and rubble
The moment you start digging out soil, lifting turf or removing an old patio, the weight climbs quickly. Heavy garden waste must go in a smaller, heavy-rated skip such as the 6 yard builders skip, which is built for exactly this.
Mixing waste types
Try not to mix heavy soil with light green waste in a large skip. Keep heavy material in the correct skip and use a larger one only for bulky, lightweight garden waste.
