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 the sizes we arrange in Taunton, with bin-bag equivalents to help you estimate.

4 Yard Skip

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.

6 Yard Skip

Holds around 50–60 bin bags. Often called a “builder’s skip” because it’s the most popular choice with tradespeople. Suitable for kitchen refits, medium home renovations, and small extension waste.

8 Yard Skip

Holds approximately 60–80 bin bags. The standard choice for full house clearances, large renovations, and bigger trade jobs. Suitable for both heavy waste (rubble, soil) and bulky household waste.

Need Something Bigger? Roll-on Roll-off Skips

For commercial sites, large construction projects or major clearances around Taunton, we also arrange 20 and 40 yard Roll-on Roll-off (RoRo) containers. These are priced individually based on waste type and tonnage. Call 0800 652 0160 for a RoRo quote.

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. Permit processing typically takes 3–5 working days, so book early if your skip needs to go on the road.

Hire Period

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, call us before it ends. Skips must be filled to a level load — overfilled skips cannot be safely transported and may be refused.
