A great way to categorise the size of a skip you need is, to think about it in accordance to how many bin bags it holds.

E.g. a 4 yard skip can take roughly about 30 to 40 bin bags

It is essential to get the right sized skip which can save you money, also you wouldn’t want to order a skip too small for the job as you will most likely have to order another to finish the job.
