An 8 yard skip is typically about 12 feet (3.66-3.7 meters) long, 5.5 to 5.6 feet (1.67-1.7 meters) wide, and 4 to 4.1 feet (1.22-1.25 meters) high. It has a capacity of approximately 8 cubic yards or around 6.1 cubic meters. This skip size can hold roughly 60 to 80 bin bags and is suitable for large renovation jobs, garden landscaping, and bulky waste removal. It is also the largest skip size recommended for heavy materials like soil and rubble due to weight restrictions.
