2 Yard Skip Hire in Essex

At EA Waste, we keep skip hire straightforward. We know our customers want a reliable service, clear pricing, and a skip that arrives when it is supposed to. That is exactly what we aim to provide.

We offer fast local delivery, helpful advice, and a dependable collection service across Essex and the surrounding areas. Whether you are booking a skip for a domestic clear-out or a small project at your property, we work hard to make the process simple from start to finish.

We are also committed to responsible waste disposal and aim to recycle as much of the waste we collect as possible.

How much can a 2 yard skip hold?

A 2 yard skip typically holds around 20 to 30 bin bags of waste. While it is one of our smaller skips, it can still take a surprising amount, especially for heavier materials from smaller jobs such as soil, rubble, bricks, or general DIY waste.

If you are not sure whether a 2 yard skip is the right size for your job, we are always happy to help you choose the best option.

What is a 2 yard skip suitable for?

Our 2 yard skip hire is ideal for smaller jobs around the home and garden. It is a popular choice for shed and garage clear-outs, garden waste, minor renovation work, and general household rubbish. If you are carrying out a small bathroom rip-out, replacing flooring in one room, or clearing unwanted waste from outside, this size skip is often more than enough.

Because it is compact, it is also a good option if you want to keep the skip on your driveway without losing too much space.

What can go in a 2 yard skip?

Our 2 yard skips are suitable for a wide range of general waste, including garden waste, wood, metal, soil, hardcore, bricks, rubble, and general household rubbish. They are a great choice for small clear-outs and light building or renovation waste.

If you are planning to dispose of heavier materials, it is always worth checking with us first so we can make sure you have the right skip for the job.

What cannot go in the skip?

There are some items that cannot be placed in a standard skip, and others that may carry an additional charge. Items such as plasterboard, carpets, mattresses, tyres, fridges, freezers, sofas, chairs, and other upholstered furniture should always be checked with us before booking.

Hazardous items such as asbestos, gas bottles, and paint cannot be placed in the skip.

If you are unsure about anything, just speak to our team and we will advise you before you book.

Do I need a permit for a 2 yard skip?

If your skip is being placed on private land, such as a driveway, you will not usually need a permit. If it needs to go on a public road or pavement, a permit is normally required.


Please note, we don’t currently arrange permits, however the team can provide guidance if you need any help. Don’t want the hassle of organising a permit? Check out our Wait and Load service.
