Skip sizes available in Cannock
Cannock has a broad mix of housing — from post-war terraced streets in the town centre to newer detached estates in Heath Hayes and Huntington. Choosing the right skip size depends on your project and available space. Here is a guide:
2 Yard Mini Skip
The most compact skip in the range. Ideal for a garden tidy-up, loft clear-out or single room declutter. Fits on most standard driveways and is the right choice when space or budget is tight.
3 Yard Skip
A step up in capacity without taking up significantly more space. Well suited to bathroom refits, small kitchen strip-outs and modest garden clearances.
4 Yard Midi Skip with Drop Door
The most popular all-round skip size across the Cannock area. The drop-down access door makes loading bulky items straightforward — no lifting over the side. A great fit for kitchen and bathroom renovations, garage clear-outs and larger garden projects.
8 Yard Builders Skip
The right tool for heavier renovation and construction projects — bricks, rubble, soil and mixed construction waste. The drop door allows wheelbarrows to be loaded directly into the skip, saving significant time on larger jobs.
8 Yard Enclosed Skip
The lockable lid makes this the right choice for trade placements, landlord clearances and longer hire periods. Keeps waste secure, deters fly-tipping and protects contents from the weather. Popular with property managers across the Cannock Chase area.
16 Yard Large and Enclosed Skips
For large-scale house clearances, commercial strip-outs or significant renovation projects. The enclosed option comes with a lockable lid — ideal for longer hires or roadside placements.

At The DP Group, we really emphasise responsible skip-filling, it helps us, and our drivers to ensure safety and avoid additional costs when its time to . If a skip is overfilled and poses a transportation hazard, we cannot collect it.
To help you clearly see the fill level, each of our skips are clearly marked either inside or outside.
We strongly recommend a strategic (like a game) approach to filling your skip! Begin by placing flat items first, followed by large, heavy, or bulky items. For bin bags filled with rubbish, compress them to remove any air and crush larger items to maximise space without exceeding the skip’s capacity – it’s about getting the most out of your skip hire!
To assist you in selecting the appropriate skip size for your project, each skip page provides an estimate of the number of bin bags it can accommodate – with an illustration too. Keep in mind that the capacity may vary depending on the size and weight of the items. If you require guidance in choosing the right skip size, please don’t hesitate to contact us.
