What is a Mini Skip Bin?

A mini skip bin is a smaller skip bin, used for disposing of rubbish and other general waste. It’s the smallest type of skip that you can hire and is perfect for smaller clearouts. They vary in size, anywhere from 2 metres to 4 metres and can hold anywhere from 8 to 12 wheelie bins’ worth of waste.

When do I need a Mini Skip Bin?

Skip bins are very handy when you’re looking to clear out a lot of rubbish and they’re often used during renovations, big cleaning efforts or garden maintenance. When regular wheelie bins are just too small to handle the amount of waste you’ve accumulated, a mini skip bin is a great option. It saves you from taking lots of trips to the tip and doesn’t take up too much space or cost too much.


A mini skip bin is a smaller version of a regular skip bin, but it works in the same way. You can use it to hold a lot of rubbish and waste, allowing you to have a single point of refuse collection during a big clear-out. When you’re done, the filled mini skip bin is collected and taken away, so you don’t have to worry about transporting the waste elsewhere.

Scenarios where a mini skip bin helps

There are a few scenarios where a mini skip bin is the best option to go for. It offers the same utility as other skip bins but without the bulk, so if it’s a smaller job or on a smaller property, it’s an excellent choice. Below are a few scenarios where a mini skip bin is the way to go:

Spring cleaning

If you’re ready to tackle some spring cleaning, a mini skip bin is a great way to focus your rubbish removal in one place. Mini skip bins can handle all forms of general waste, including paper, recyclable items, clothing, old dishes and even furniture. So if you’re looking to have a clearout of your house during a spring cleaning session, a mini skip bin is a great idea.


Using a mini skip bin for spring cleaning is particularly useful because you can focus your efforts on clearing out your home, rather than transporting your waste to a tip. All you have to do is fill the mini skip bin with your waste and when you’re done, it’s collected by a professional team of waste removal specialists.

Landscaping or home renovations

If you’re looking to revamp your home with some renovations or landscaping, a mini skip bin is also very handy. If your renovations aren’t extensive, a mini skip bin can comfortably handle most of the waste you intend to get rid of. If you have any debris from the renovation, like rubble or timber, that can go straight into the skip.


Similarly, if you’re renovating your garden area, a mini skip bin is a great way to get rid of garden waste like grass clippings, dirt or branches. If you have old tree stumps or fencing, you can also throw that into the skip. Just be careful – anything flammable or toxic has to be carefully disposed of and shouldn’t go in the skip.


So if you’re looking to clear out your home or garden, consider a mini skip bin. They do the same thing as a regular skip without taking up too much space. This makes it perfect for any at-home renovations or clearances.
