An 8-yard skip from Horrocks Waste Management is ideal for medium to large projects that generate more waste than a smaller skip can handle. It holds around 60-80 refuse sacks, making it perfect for larger household clearances, bigger garden clearances, or larger DIY jobs. The extra space is also great for home renovations like a loft conversion or a full kitchen or bathroom re-fit.
If you’re tackling a construction or demolition project, an 8-yard skip can handle heavier, bulkier items like bricks, rubble, and large pieces of furniture. It’s also suitable for larger garden waste such as bigger branches, soil, and even patio slabs. Whether you’re a homeowner using our residential skip hire for a big job or a tradesperson booking commercial skip hire for a larger re-fit, an 8-yard skip gives you the space you need without the extra cost of excess capacity. And if you have your own transport, our third party tipping service offers a flexible way to dispose of waste directly at our facility.
