What is the difference between a mini skip and a midi skip?

When it comes to choosing the right skip size, there are many different options available. Depending on the type of project you have planned for your home, a mini skip and a midi skip are both great options but both are different in terms of size and capacity. Knowing the differences between the both can help your plan better and understand what sized skip you may need.

Mini Skip:

A mini skip is the smallest option you would usually find at skip hire companies. These range between 2 to 3 yards and are perfect for clearing out small household waste. Due to their small size, these can easily fit onto your driveway or garden as they don’t tend to take up much space. If you’re looking to clear out a small room or even your garage, a mini skip is a great option to hire.

Midi Skip:

A midi skip is slightly larger in capacity and ranges between 4 to 5 yards. This skip size is good for medium sized projects such as household renovations, bathroom refits and even garden waste. This size can still be placed in a residential area; however, the skip hire will confirm if you need a permit or not depending on where you need to place it. A midi sized skip gives you more flexibility, especially if you over estimate your project and produce more waste than you originally anticipated. This can save you more hassle and money in the long run to avoid you having to hire another skip.
