Skip sizes in Derby

Mini skip hire in Derby (2–3 yards)

£70–£140. Sometimes sold as a 2-tonne skip. Fits on most driveways and takes roughly 20–35 bin bags — right for a small bathroom refit or garden tidy. Full details on this size.

4 yard skip hire in Derby (midi)

£100–£200. A domestic favourite; some Derby firms list it as a 4-tonne or midi skip. Takes about 30–40 bin bags — a bathroom, small kitchen or decluttering a couple of rooms. Full details on this size.

6–8 yard builder's skip hire in Derby

£150–£280. The standard builder's skip. Handles a full kitchen rip-out, a room renovation including some rubble, or serious garden landscaping. If in doubt between two sizes, take this one — a second skip costs far more than the next size up. Full details on this size.

10–12 yard skip hire in Derby (large)

£240–£400. For house clearances and bulky-but-light waste (furniture, wood, packaging). Most firms won't take heavy rubble or soil in a 12 yard skip — weight limits apply. Full details on this size.

14–40 yard RoRo skip hire in Derby

14, 16, 20 and 40 yard roll-on roll-off containers are for commercial sites and full strip-outs, priced per job. The larger firms listed above quote these on request — mention access and what's going in. Full RoRo guide.

Hiring a skip in Derby: what to know

Derby's skip firms cover the city and the villages around it — Allenton, Alvaston, Chaddesden, Littleover, Mickleover, Spondon and Chellaston — so a company on the edge of town will deliver in for the same price. Prices sit around the East Midlands average, and Derby's permit terms are more forgiving than most, which helps on longer jobs.

If the skip sits on the road, Derby City Council charges £60 for a permit lasting a generous 28 days (checked July 2026), with at least three working days' notice — the firm applies on your behalf. Because the permit runs four weeks rather than one, Derby is a cheaper place than most to keep a skip on the road for a longer renovation. On a private driveway no permit is needed.

Terraced streets around Normanton, Peartree and Rose Hill often have no off-road parking, so include the £60 permit in your budget there. Elsewhere, keeping the skip on a drive avoids the fee altogether.
