3 Yard Mini Skip Hire

Sometimes a 2 yard skip feels a little too small, while moving straight up to a midi skip gives you more capacity than the job really needs. Our 3 cubic yard mini skip fills that gap nicely, providing a compact option for household, garden and DIY projects where space and waste volumes are both relatively modest.

It's particularly useful if you want a proper skip on-site without giving up a large section of the driveway. From decluttering a room to clearing garden rubbish or dealing with waste from a small refurbishment, three cubic yards can go considerably further than the name might suggest.

3 Yard Skip at a Glance

Full dimensions are shown in the specification details on this page. Our lorry needs more room than the skip itself, so please ask us if access is tight.

That's noticeably more room than our 2 cubic yard skip without the footprint of a larger skip. The bin-bag figure is only an estimate - broken-down timber, garden waste, rubble and bulky household items all fill a skip in different ways.

What Is a 3 Yard Skip Good For?

Think of this as a practical small-project skip rather than a container for a major renovation. Jobs that suit three cubic yards include:

• Decluttering a bedroom or spare room
• Small loft clear-outs
• Garden tidy-ups
• Clearing a small shed
• Minor DIY projects
• Decorating and refurbishment waste
• Small bathroom projects
• Garage decluttering
• General household rubbish

If you think 30 to 35 bags will disappear quickly, moving up a size before the project begins may save you needing another skip later. Our guide to choosing the right skip can help you compare options.

Will a 3 Yard Skip Fit on a Standard Driveway?

At approximately 6 feet long and 4 feet wide, the skip itself fits comfortably on many ordinary driveways and private parking spaces, which makes it one of the easiest skips in our range to accommodate at home. Think about delivery access too, as our lorry needs room to approach, manoeuvre and position the skip safely. Check:

• Driveway and entrance width
• Gateposts and boundary walls
• Parked vehicles
• Overhead cables and low branches
• Turning and manoeuvring space for the lorry

Our skip delivery preparation guide explains what to look for.

Can I Put Soil and Rubble in a 3 Yard Skip?

Yes - its compact size makes a 3 yard skip useful for modest quantities of heavier waste such as soil, rubble, bricks and small amounts of hardcore, depending on the waste type agreed when you book. Dense waste gets heavy quickly, so tell us what your project is producing when you order and we'll make sure the skip and service suit the load.

3 Yard Skip or Rubbish Removal?

A compact skip works particularly well if you want to clear waste gradually over several days, working through a loft, garden, garage or room at your own pace. If everything is already piled up and you'd rather have somebody collect it, our rubbish removal service may be more convenient.

Sitting between our 2 yard skip and our 4 yard midi skip, the 3 yard skip is a handy middle ground for jobs that have outgrown a few trips to the tip. For a whole-house clear-out or a lot of heavy building waste, a 6 yard builder's skip is worth considering instead, and you can compare our full range of mini skips.
