Choosing the Right Skip Size for Taunton
Picking the right size skip saves you money and avoids the cost of a second delivery. Here’s a plain-English guide to each size we offer in Taunton, with bin-bag equivalents to help you estimate.
4 Yard Skip — From £306
Our smallest skip available in Taunton. Holds approximately 30–40 black bin bags of waste. Ideal for small garden clearances, a single bathroom strip-out, decluttering a garage, or DIY projects creating a modest amount of rubble. Note: we don’t supply 2-yard mini skips in the Taunton area — the 4-yard is our compact option.
6 Yard Skip — From £360
Holds around 50–60 bin bags. Often called a “builder’s skip” because it’s the most popular choice with Taunton tradespeople. Suitable for kitchen refits, medium home renovations, and small extension waste. A good all-rounder when you’re not sure which size you need.
8 Yard Skip — From £420
Holds approximately 60–80 bin bags. The standard choice for full house clearances, large renovations, and bigger trade jobs. Most domestic projects in Taunton fit comfortably in an 8 yard. Suitable for both heavy waste (rubble, soil) and bulky household waste.
12 Yard Skip — From £582
Our largest enclosed skip, holding approximately 100–120 bin bags. Best for major renovations, light bulky waste like furniture and packaging, or full property clearances. Important: 12 yard skips are not suitable for heavy materials such as soil, rubble or concrete — please choose an 8 yard for heavy waste, or contact us about RoRo hire for very large jobs.

What Can Go in Your Skip in Taunton?
Most household and trade waste can go in a standard general waste skip, including:
- Yes: Wood, metal, plastics, garden waste, soil, rubble, furniture, kitchen and bathroom fittings, packaging, general household waste
- No: Asbestos, fridges and freezers, TVs and electrical items (WEEE), tyres, paint tins, gas bottles, batteries, plasterboard (must go in a separate plasterboard bag), hazardous chemicals, medical waste
If you have items on the “no” list, don’t worry — we can usually arrange separate disposal. Just mention them when booking. For more detail, see our guide to what can and can’t go in a skip.
Do I Need a Permit for a Skip in Taunton?
A skip permit is only needed if your skip will be placed on a public road or pavement. If you can put the skip on your own driveway, garden or private land, you do not need a permit.
For public-road placement in Taunton, permits are issued by Somerset Council (which now covers the former Somerset West and Taunton District). We can arrange the permit on your behalf when you book — the cost will be added to your quote. Permit processing typically takes 3–5 working days, so book early if your skip needs to go on the road.
Hire Period and Extra Charges
All skips are hired for 14 days as standard, with collection arranged at the end of the hire period. If you need to keep the skip longer, an extension is £30 per week. Skips must be filled to a level load — overfilled skips cannot be safely transported and may be refused.
