The 2 yard skip, often referred to as the mini skip, is the smallest size available in our extensive skip range.
They’re small enough to be positioned around a property without causing obstruction to any access areas like driveways, gateways, or paths, and aren’t considered as much an eyesore as some of the larger Skip size variants.

While there are no limits on the size of items that can be included, naturally the 2 yard skip favours smaller items.
Remember, all skips must be level loaded, so if you think you’ll have too much waste for a 2 yard skip, we’d advise ordering a larger skip in the first instance, otherwise you could incur excess weight charges or need to order a second skip.
