Why Choose an 8 Yard Skip?

Choosing the right skip size is essential to avoid unnecessary costs and ensure efficient waste disposal. Here’s why the 8 yard skip stands out:

  • Capacity: The 8 yard skip typically holds between 60 to 80 black bin bags of waste, making it ideal for medium sized renovation projects, garden clear outs, and bulky waste disposal. It offers a large volume of space without taking up excessive room on your property.
  • Versatility: This skip size is suitable for various types of waste, including general household waste, construction debris, and bulky materials like furniture and garden waste.
  • Cost effective: Hiring an 8 yard skip is often the most economical option for medium sized projects, as it offers a balance between capacity and price, ensuring you don’t overpay for unnecessary space.

Reviews

On behalf of the Men's Shed Cwm Gwendraeth, thanks for a brilliant job with the skip hire. Excellent service all round.

Annie Jones

I have hired a skip from McKenna on a number of occasions over the last 2 or 3 years and they have been first class every time. Local family run business, friendly and reliable and also very competitively priced. A hassle-free experience every time so look no further and call them today to see for yourself. Fully recommended.
