At The DP Group we want to make the process of hiring a skip online as easy and hassle-free as possible for our customers. If you plan to place your skip on your driveway or in your garden, you will not need a permit. However, if you intend to place your skip on a public road, you will need to obtain a permit from the relevant council body. As part of our skip hire service, we take care of this process for you, ensuring that your skip is delivered with the necessary safety lights and cones – safety first!

- Stoke on Trent Council: £90 – 3 working days notice

Choosing the right size is pretty important to avoid unnecessary costs and delays if you’re planning to hire a skip for your waste disposal needs. At The DP Group, we offer a range of skip sizes to cater to your needs, whether you’re in Stoke-on-Trent, Staffordshire, or Cheshire.
Various options, from mini skips (like our 2-Yard Skip or our 4-Yard Skip) to 40-yard roll-on-roll-off skips, are available to suit your requirements for any kind of home improvement, general tidy up or work in the garden – Choosing the right size skip depends on how much waste you dispose of, and that can be hard to calculate.
A mini skip might be sufficient for small projects, such as garden clearance or DIY jobs, whereas more extensive projects, such as home refurbishments or construction sites, may require a larger skip. If your in doubt, our team of skip-hire experts can advise you on the best skip size for your project based on the type and amount of waste you have. By choosing the right size skip, you can save time and money by avoiding the need for multiple trips to the tip!

Description
Our 3 yard skip is the ideal step up from the mini — more capacity without taking up significantly more space on your driveway. A popular choice across Stoke-on-Trent, Staffordshire and Cheshire for medium-sized domestic projects where a 2 yard would be a squeeze but a 4 yard feels too large.
What is a 3 yard skip used for?
The 3 yard skip is best suited to:
- Bathroom refits — tiles, sanitary ware, old flooring and timber
- Small kitchen strip-outs — cupboards, worktops and general kitchen waste
- Garden clearances — soil, turf, branches and green waste
- Bedroom or living room clear-outs — furniture, carpets and accumulated household items
- Modest DIY projects generating more waste than a mini skip can handle
It holds the equivalent of 35–45 black bin bags — a meaningful step up from the 2 yard without requiring significantly more driveway space. Dimensions: 2’6″ high × 5’8″ long × 4’0″ wide.
Is a 3 yard skip the right size for your project?
Choosing the right skip size saves you money and avoids the frustration of running out of room mid-project. As a rough guide:
- Small garden tidy-up or single room clear-out → 2 yard mini skip
- Bathroom refit, kitchen strip-out or garden clearance → 3 yard skip (you’re in the right place)
- Full kitchen renovation or garage conversion → 4 yard midi skip with drop door
- Building work, rubble and construction waste → 8 yard builders skip
If you are not sure, our team is happy to advise — call us on 01782 551 222 or use the booking tool above to check sizing and availability.
How to book your 3 yard skip online
Booking takes just a few minutes. Choose your delivery and collection dates, enter your postcode and confirm your drop-off location — on your driveway or on the road. If the skip needs to go on the public highway, a permit is required; we arrange this on your behalf as part of the booking process.
Klarna is available at checkout alongside debit and credit card, PayPal, Apple Pay and Google Pay. Next-day delivery is available across Stoke-on-Trent, Staffordshire and Cheshire subject to slot availability.
