Are you planning a small home renovation or a garden clear-out but don’t have the space for a massive skip? At EA Waste, our 2-yard mini skip is the most popular choice for homeowners across Colchester, Clacton, and Tendring who need a compact, affordable, and reliable waste solution.
In this guide, we’ll break down why the “mini” skip is the smart choice for your next DIY project.
What are the dimensions of a 2-Yard Mini Skip?
One of the most common questions we get is, “Will it fit on my driveway?” The answer is almost always yes!
- Length: Approx. 5ft (1.5m)
- Width: Approx. 4ft (1.2m)
- Height: Approx. 3ft (0.9m)
Because it takes up about the same space as a small car or an armchair, it is perfect for properties with limited access or narrow driveways.
How much can a 2-Yard Mini Skip hold?
Don’t let the “mini” tag fool you. A 2-yard skip is surprisingly spacious, typically holding:
- 25–30 standard black bin bags
- 2 Ton’s of soil or hardcore
- Small bathroom suites (sinks and toilets)
It’s the ideal size for garden tidy-ups, shed decluttering, or small kitchen refreshes.
3 Reasons to Choose a Mini Skip from EA Waste
1. No Need for Costly Road Permits
If you hire a large skip and don’t have a driveway, you often have to pay the local council for a skip permit to place it on the road. Because our 2-yard skips are so compact, they can usually be placed on even the smallest private driveways, saving you the extra cost and paperwork.
2. Eco-Friendly Waste Management in Essex
We don’t just dump your waste. EA Waste is committed to a “Recycle First” policy. Once we collect your mini skip, it is taken to a local sorting facility where we aim to recycle over 90% of the contents. By hiring us, you’re helping keep Colchester & Tendring green.
3. Stress-Free “Wait and Load” Options
If you’re in a busy town centre like Clacton or Colchester and can’t leave a skip overnight, ask about our Wait and Load service. We drop the mini skip, you fill it, and we take it away immediately—no permit, no fuss!
What can I put in a 2-Yard Skip?
- Garden waste (soil, grass, wood)
- Household junk & furniture
- Bricks, blocks, and tiles
