If you live in the centre of town, 4 yard skip hire is convenient as it takes up less space than the larger and more common builders skip. That means that parking it in the street or in a driveway is likely to be a lot easier. Although remember that skips arrive on a lorry and, no matter how small the skip, the lorry will always require space to unload it and manoeuvre properly.

In terms of cost, small skip hire prices are obviously cheaper than larger skips, but beware of false economies. Hiring two 4 yard skips because you miscalculated exactly how much space you required, will cost you a lot more than hiring a 6 or even 8 yard skip at the beginning.Check out our skip size guide for a handy comparison of all the skips we offer.
