The 14 yard skip explained

The 14 yard maxi skip is for the really big clear-out. With capacity for roughly 130 to 150 bin bags, it is well suited to large house clearances, office moves and commercial refurbishments where bulky, lightweight waste piles up fast. If a 12 yard skip feels like it might be just short, the 14 yard gives you that extra headroom.

As with all maxi skips, it is built for volume and not weight. Soil, rubble and concrete are off the menu and belong in a 6 yard builder's skip; the 14 yard comes into its own with furniture, packaging, plastics and general light waste. Give us your postcode and details, and we will match you with providers who stock the larger maxi sizes.

FAQs

14 yard skip hire FAQs

Common questions about hiring a 14 yard skip in the West Midlands.

What are the dimensions of a 14 yard skip?
A 14 yard maxi skip is typically around 4.04 m long, 1.83 m wide and 1.98 m high (roughly 13 ft 3 in by 6 ft by 6 ft 6 in). Exact dimensions vary by provider.
How much can I fit in a 14 yard skip?
Around 130 to 150 bin bags, or about 14 cubic yards of bulky, lightweight waste. It is one of the largest maxi skips available.
Can I put rubble in a 14 yard skip?
No. Like all maxi skips, the 14 yard is for light, bulky waste only. Heavy soil, concrete and rubble must go in a small builder's skip to keep the load safe to lift.
When should I choose a 14 yard over a 12 yard skip?
Choose the 14 yard when you have a particularly large clearance of light waste and want extra capacity. For most big clearances a 12 yard is enough, so a provider can help you decide.
Do I need space for a 14 yard skip?
Yes, it needs a fair amount of room and good access for the delivery lorry. Mention any access constraints on the form so providers can advise.
What size skip do I need?
As a rough guide: a 4-yard mini skip suits small home or garden clear-outs, a 6-yard builder's skip is the most popular choice for renovations and heavy waste like soil and rubble, an 8-yard skip handles larger building jobs, and a 12-yard maxi skip is best for bulky but lighter waste. If you're unsure, select 'Not sure' on the form and a provider will recommend the right size.
How much does skip hire cost in the West Midlands?
Prices depend on the skip size, the type of waste, your location and how long you keep the skip, plus a council permit fee if it sits on a public road. Rather than quoting a single figure, we pass your details to local providers so you can compare quotes and choose the best value for your job.
Can I put a skip on the road?
Yes, but a skip placed on a public road or pavement needs a permit from your local council, and it must usually carry lights and markings. If the skip sits entirely on your own driveway or land, you typically don't need a permit. The provider you're matched with can arrange any permit for you.
Do I need a permit?
Only if the skip goes on a public highway. Permit costs and rules vary by council across the West Midlands. When you book through a local provider they'll tell you whether a permit is needed and sort it out as part of the hire.
What can't go in a skip?
Items that can't be mixed into a general skip include fridges and freezers, TVs and monitors, fluorescent tubes, batteries, paint and liquids, tyres, asbestos, plasterboard (which usually needs separating) and hazardous chemicals. Tell your provider about any of these and they'll advise on safe disposal.
How quickly can I get a skip delivered?
Many local providers offer next-day delivery, and same-day is often possible if you book early in the day. Choose when you need it on the form (Today, Tomorrow, This week and so on) and we'll prioritise providers who can meet your timeframe.
Do you cover commercial skip hire?
Yes. As well as household and garden waste, our partners handle trade and commercial waste, including larger 12-yard skips and roll-on roll-off (RoRo) skips for sites with high volumes. Select 'Commercial waste' on the form to be matched with the right providers.
