2m³ mini skip
Small cleanups, garden waste, garage clear-outs and light residential waste.
From R950
A practical option when access is tighter or the waste volume is small. Best for construction rubble, soil, bricks and concrete.
Skip sizes
Choose from 2m³, 3m³, 6m³, 8m³ and 11m³ skips
Final pricing depends on area, waste type, hire period, access, weight and whether you need a drop, collection or swap.
3m³ mini skip
Garden waste, household declutters, garage clear-outs, office cleanouts, shop cleanups and bulky light waste.
From R1,200
Best for light bulky waste. A small controlled amount of rubble or other heavy material can be accepted, but keep it to roughly one-third of the skip and send a photo before booking.
6m³ skip
Home renovations, building rubble, medium cleanups and contractor jobs.
From R1,900
The all-rounder for most rubble and renovation jobs.
8m³ skip
Larger cleanups, bulky waste and contractor work where a 6m³ may be small.
From R2,100
Limited availability and subject to confirmation.
11m³ skip
Large construction, site waste, bulky commercial waste and bigger cleanups.
From R3,200
Best when volume is high and access allows for a larger skip.
Quick Skip Size Answer
Choose 2m³ for smaller controlled cleanups or compact heavy loads, 3m³ for garden waste and bulky light cleanups, 6m³ for many renovation and rubble jobs, 8m³ for larger jobs where available, and 11m³ for bigger bulky loads where access allows.
8m³ availability is limited and must be confirmed before booking.
2m³ mini skip
Best for small garden cleanups, garage waste, bathroom rubble and smaller controlled loads.
3m³ mini skip
Best for garden waste, household declutters, garage clear-outs, office cleanouts, shop cleanups and bulky light waste where you need more room than a 2m³ mini skip.
A small controlled amount of rubble or other heavy material can be accepted, but keep it to roughly one-third of the skip at most and send a photo before booking where the load includes rubble, bricks, concrete, soil, sand or mixed demolition waste.
6m³ skip
A practical all-rounder for renovation rubble, medium garden waste, small contractor jobs and household cleanups.
8m³ and 11m³ skips
Use these for larger bulky loads, commercial cleanouts and bigger site waste where access, weight and availability make sense.
Volume Is Not the Only Issue
Heavy rubble can make a smaller skip more practical even when a larger skip appears to have more room.
Garden waste and office cleanout waste may be lighter but bulky, so access and loading space still matter.
