3 Yard Skip Hire in Tendring
If you need a skip that gives you a little more room than a 2 yard skip without moving too far up in size, our 3 yard skip hire is a practical choice. At EA Waste, we provide 3 yard skips for customers who need something compact, convenient, and well suited to smaller projects where waste can build up quickly.
A 3 yard skip is a good option for general clear-outs, garden waste, and smaller renovation or DIY jobs. It gives you extra capacity while still being easy to place and easy to load, making it a popular choice for customers who want a skip that is manageable without being too small.
Prices start from £170
Why choose our 3 yard skip hire?
At EA Waste, we keep skip hire simple. We offer reliable local delivery, competitive pricing, licensed waste disposal, and a service that is easy to arrange from start to finish.
We know that when you book a skip, you want:
- the right size for the job
- clear advice
- prompt delivery
- reliable collection
That is exactly what we aim to provide.
What is a 3 yard skip suitable for?
Our 3 yard skip hire works well for a wide range of smaller jobs around the home or garden. It is ideal when you have more waste than a mini clear-out but do not need one of our larger skip sizes.
This size is often a good fit for:
- garden clearances
- shed and garage clear-outs
- small home improvement jobs
- bathroom or kitchen updates
- general household waste
- mixed DIY waste
If you are looking for a skip that gives you flexibility without taking up too much space, a 3 yard skip is often a strong option.

How does a 3 yard skip compare to our other sizes?
We offer 2, 3, 4, and 6 yard skips, so there is a good spread of sizes for different types of jobs.
A 3 yard skip is a good middle option if:
- a 2 yard skip feels too small
- a 4 yard skip feels more than you need
- you want something compact but with a bit more room for mixed waste
If you are not completely sure which size is right, we are always happy to help you choose the most practical option.
What can go in a 3 yard skip?
Our 3 yard skips are suitable for a wide range of general, non-hazardous waste.
Typical waste we can take includes:
- household rubbish
- garden waste
- wood and timber
- metal
- plastics
- soil and hardcore
- bricks and rubble
- tiles and ceramics
- DIY and renovation waste
If you are unsure about a particular waste type, contact us before booking and we will point you in the right direction.
Items to check with us first
Some items need to be discussed with us before they go into the skip, as they may need separate handling or may carry an additional disposal charge.
These can include:
- plasterboard
- carpets
- roofing felt
- tyres
- fridges and freezers
- mattresses
- sofas, chairs, and upholstered furniture
Hazardous materials cannot be placed in a standard skip. This includes items such as asbestos, batteries, gas bottles, paint, solvents, oils, and other harmful waste.
If you are unsure about anything, contact us before booking and we will advise you.

What if a skip permit cannot be arranged?
We do not arrange permits. If you cannot have a skip placed where you need it because a permit cannot be arranged, our Wait and Load service may be the best option.
This is a practical solution where:
- a skip cannot be left on the road
- permit issues make standard skip hire unsuitable
- waste needs to be loaded and removed in one go
We also offer 1 tonne skip bags if you need a flexible alternative for smaller amounts of waste.
