1 Tonne Bag or Skip? How to Choose
If you only have a small to medium amount of waste, or nowhere to leave a full-size skip, a 1 tonne bag can be the simpler choice. For bigger jobs, or where you need to fill it over more than a day or two, a skip holds more and gives you longer to use it.
| 1 tonne bag | 2 yard skip | |
|---|---|---|
| Holds about | 10 to 12 bin bags, or up to 1 tonne in weight | 20 bin bags |
| Size | 1m x 1m x 1m | 3' wide x 2.6' high x 4' long |
| Starting price (Area 1 postcodes) | From £95 for soil or hardcore, £155 for general waste or plasterboard | From £215 |
| Space needed | Sits flat, good for tight driveways or narrow access | Needs a bit more room, and cannot go on a public road without a permit |
| Collection | We collect once it's full; no set hire period | Usually a 1 to 2 week hire period, collected when you're done or the period ends |
Prices shown are “from” prices for Area 1 postcodes, read from the live booking form on 6 November 2026; your price depends on your postcode and waste type. See our skip hire price guide for the full breakdown by area.
Don’t overfill your bag above the top rim: our crane needs a clear, level load to lift it safely, in the same way as described in the HSE’s manual handling guidance for heavy or awkward loads.
