6 Yard Skip Hire in Essex
If you are dealing with a larger amount of waste and need more space than a mini or midi skip can offer, our 6 yard skip hire is a great all-round option. At EA Waste, we provide 6 yard skips for customers taking on bigger home improvements, property clear-outs, and renovation work where waste can build up quickly.
This is a popular size for jobs that create a mix of bulky and heavy waste. If you are ripping out an old kitchen, refitting bathrooms, replacing flooring, clearing a garage, or carrying out general renovation work, a 6 yard skip gives you the capacity to keep the job moving without needing to step up to a much larger size.
Why choose our 6 yard skip hire?
At EA Waste, we know that when you book a skip, you want the process to be straightforward. You want the right size, reliable delivery, helpful support, and prompt collection once the job is done.
That is what we aim to provide.
We offer a dependable local service, competitive pricing, and fast turnaround across the areas we cover. Whether you are clearing out part of your home, working through a renovation, or managing waste from a larger household project, we make it easy to get the skip you need.
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 6 yard skip hold?
A 6 yard skip typically holds around 60 to 70 bin bags of waste. That makes it a strong option for bigger domestic jobs and light trade work where you need a skip that can cope with a heavier volume of material.
It gives you enough room for a substantial amount of waste while still being a manageable size for many driveways and properties.

What is a 6 yard skip suitable for?
Our 6 yard skip hire is ideal for medium to larger projects where a smaller skip is likely to fill too quickly. It is commonly used for:
- kitchen rip-outs
- bathroom refits
- garage clearances
- loft clear-outs
- room refurbishments
- larger garden projects
- renovation and building waste
- mixed household and DIY waste
If your project is producing a steady amount of waste and you need something practical and versatile, a 6 yard skip is often the right choice.
What can go in a 6 yard skip?
Our 6 yard skips can be used for a wide range of waste, including:
- general household rubbish
- wood
- metal
- garden waste
- soil
- hardcore
- bricks and rubble
- tiles and ceramics
- renovation and DIY waste
This makes them a practical choice for projects where there is a mixture of materials to get rid of.
If you are dealing with especially heavy waste, speak to us before booking and we will help make sure you choose the right skip for the job.
Items to check with us before loading
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, freezers, mattresses, sofas, chairs, and other upholstered furniture.
Hazardous materials such as asbestos, gas bottles, paint, batteries, and other harmful substances cannot be placed in a standard skip.
If you are unsure about any item, contact our team before booking and we will advise you.

Do I need a permit for a 6 yard skip?
