How much will a 4 yard skip hold?
1. What does a 4 yard skip size hold? – 
If you think of skips in terms of cars, the 4 yarder holds the same amount of waste that you could fit inside a Mini. They have the capacity for the equivalent of 4 tonnes of waste which is 30-40 bin bags or around 12 wheelie bins. The number of tonnes that a skip can hold highly depends on the materials that will go into your skip and how they are fitted in.
How much weight can you put in a skip?
Conclusion – Consider your options carefully before choosing a skip. When it is empty, is the weight of a skip suitable for the job? Consider carefully what you want to toss in your skip and estimate the weight of the waste before selecting the right size.
The weight of an empty skip varies depending on the size of the skip and the material it is made from. Generally, a small skip can weigh up to 250kg, while a large skip can weigh up to 1,000kg. The weight of a full skip depends on the type and amount of waste it contains, but it is usually expected to be between 2-3 times heavier than the empty skip.
Available sizes of skip can range from 2 to 40 yards, with smaller sizes holding up to 1 tonne of waste and larger sizes capable of holding up to 10 tonnes. It is vital to ensure that the size and weight of the skip are chosen appropriately for the job, as overloading can lead to safety and legal issues.
