What Is a 12 Yard Skip Best For?
The 12 yard skip is our largest standard skip hire option — designed for jobs where anything smaller would leave you stranded halfway through. If you are clearing a whole house, managing a large-scale renovation, or dealing with waste from a multi-room project, the 12 yard handles it in a single hire and typically works out cheaper than multiple smaller skips.
At 1.78m wide, 1.68m tall, and 4.10m long, this is a large skip. You will need 4m of clearance in width and height for delivery. If your access is limited, call us on 02381 290 835 — we can assess your site and suggest alternatives including grab hire or RoRo containers if needed.
- Full house clearances — furniture, appliances, carpets, general waste
- Large renovation projects — gutting multiple rooms simultaneously
- Estate clearances — clearing properties for sale or probate
- Commercial refurbishments — large office or retail fit-outs
- Construction site waste — mixed debris from major building works
- End-of-tenancy clearances — large rental properties or HMOs

Visualise Your Load
One hundred and twenty black bin bags is the equivalent of clearing every room in a 3-bedroom house — furniture, carpets, curtains, appliances, and general household waste — in a single skip hire.
If you think your project is going to exceed this, we can discuss RoRo containers starting from £630 that hold 150–400 bags. For most Southampton house clearances, the 12 yard will handle the job.

12 Yard Skip FAQs
How big is a 12 yard skip?
A 12 yard skip measures 1.78m wide × 1.68m tall × 4.10m long and holds approximately 120 black bin bags of waste. It is our largest standard skip and requires 4m clearance in both width and height for delivery. It is roughly equivalent to clearing every room in a 3-bedroom house in a single hire.
How much does a 12 yard skip cost in Southampton?
Our 12 yard skip hire in Southampton starts from £420 ex. VAT (£504 inc. VAT). The price includes delivery, collection, and disposal at our Nursling recycling facility where 95%+ of all waste is diverted from landfill. Council permit costs are additional if the skip needs to go on the public road — we arrange permits on your behalf.
Is a 12 yard skip the right size for a full house clearance?
Yes — a 12 yard skip is the correct size for most full house clearances in Southampton. A typical 3-bedroom house generates 100–130 bags of general household waste, which a 12 yard skip handles in a single hire. For larger properties or estate clearances generating significantly more, we recommend calling 02381 290 835 to discuss whether a RoRo skip or multiple hires would be more cost-effective.
Can I put garden waste and building rubble in the same 12 yard skip?
Yes — our 12 yard skips accept mixed waste including garden waste, household items, light building materials, timber, and dry debris. Prohibited items regardless of skip size include: asbestos, tyres, paint, solvents, gas bottles, electrical appliances, batteries, and plasterboard. If in doubt about a specific material, call us on 02381 290 835.
