3 Yard Skips

Skips from 4 Yards to 40 Yards with next day delivery availability

Here at R Collard, we are proud to offer a diverse range of skip sizes and styles to suit domestic and commercial properties across the UK. 3-yard skips are one of the most popular kinds of skips for relatively small amounts of waste, or to deal with domestic clear outs and spring cleaning. 3 yard skips, often called mini skips, are a popular size of skip for use in domestic and smaller commercial clearance.

3-yard skips can hold approximately 3 tonnes of waste. As such, they are perfect for smaller clearance projects and dealing with household waste. Thanks to their compact size, they are often positioned in properties where space or access for larger skips is a concern.

Here at R Collard, we can provide a full range of skip sizes and styles to suit your needs. 3-yard mini skips are a great way to deal with most kinds of household waste. They can also be used to deal with garden waste, including some types of aggregates. They are a great option for any small clear-out project, or where space is limited for your property. For example, if you can’t get permission to place your skip on public land, 3-yard skips can often be squeezed onto personal property.

How Large are 3 Yard Skips?

The dimensions of a 3 yard skip:

  • 6 Feet Long (1.82m).
  • 4 Feet Wide (1.22m).
  • 3 Feet High (0.91m).

 

3 yard skips can hold around 35 black bin bags. As such, they are ideal for dealing domestic and garden waste, or even small amounts of commercial waste.

In addition to 3 Yard Skip Hire, R Collard’s local team can also provide skip hire of all sizes, including:

What Kinds of Waste Can’t Go Into 3 Yard Skips?

There are several kinds of waste types and materials which can’t be disposed of in 3-yard skips. Thanks to their compact sizes, 3-yard skips can often be used to deal with certain aggregates without causing the waste container to become too heavy for safe lifting and disposal.

Some of the waste types which aren’t suitable for disposal in 3 yard skips include:

  • Waste Electrical Equipment & Electronics (WEEE).
  • Hazardous Materials (Including Asbestos & Plasterboard).
  • Gas Cylinders.
  • Tyres.
  • Chemicals.

Do I Need a Permit to Hire a 3 Yard Skip?

As with any other kind of skip, you only need a permit if your skip will be placed on public land. If your skip isn’t blocking a public pathway or public access, you don’t need to apply for a permit or licence. In most cases, 3 yard skips are small enough to comfortably fit on your property, so permits are not required.

Even if, for whatever reason, you do require a permit, we are here for you. The R Collard team can work with you to apply for and get the licence / permit you need.
