The mini skip will hold almost 2 cubic metres of waste. This equates to a total weight of 2 tonnes if the skip was to be filled with soil or heavy material. This skip will hold between 30-35 full black bin bags. It is most suitable for small DIY jobs or shed and room clearances or for garden tidy-ups, it is not suitable for furniture or other bulky items such as doors.
