With a plethora of skip sizes to choose from, for all waste types and sizes. We thought you’d like to know exactly what you could fit into a medium sized skip. Our 12-yard skip is the perfect antidote to medium to large waste requirements. Take a look at our small list of what you could use a 12-yard skip in Darlington for.
- Full-Sized Bouncy Castle
Imagine a colourful inflatable bouncy castle squeezed into a skip! When deflated, it fits perfectly but would expand like crazy when released. - Vintage Volkswagen Beetle
The iconic Beetle, though compact for a car, would just about fill the entire skip. Imagine the surprise of seeing one tucked away in there! - Giant Teddy Bear
Those massive plush teddy bears from carnivals or toy stores could fill a skip entirely, especially if you pushed all the fluff in snugly. - Lifeboat
Rescue boats vary in size, but some could fill the skip space, especially an older model or one designed for a smaller crew. - Mini Submarine
Picture a mini submarine built for personal use – a bizarre yet plausible skip-filler for the eccentric. - Industrial-Sized Bathtub
A gigantic clawfoot or jacuzzi tub from a spa renovation could easily dominate the space. - 20-Person Dining Table
An extremely long and ornate dining table could stretch the full length of the skip, making it a posh (if impractical) waste item!
Ok, this might not be a realistic start, so let’s give you some idea’s on what smaller items could easily be accommodated by a medium sized skip, such as the 12-yarder.
- Two Surfboards
A standard longboard surfboard is about 6 feet long, and two of these could fit nicely in the skip, ready for disposal after a long life of catching waves. - Two 3-Seater Sofa
Many 3-seater couches are around 6 feet in length, making them a perfect candidate for filling half of a skip during a living room renovation. - Two Pool Tables
While some pool tables are larger, a standard home model can be close to 6 feet, making it a bulky but feasible item to dispose of in a skip. - Two Wooden Fence Panels
Garden fence panels often come in 6-foot sections, and two of these could snugly fit in the skip, especially during a garden makeover or repair job. - Two Grandfather Clocks
These old-fashioned, standing clocks are typically around 6 feet tall, making them a quirky yet fitting contribution to a skip. - Two Christmas Tree
A 6-foot artificial or real Christmas tree (especially a retired fake one) could be a festive filler for the skip during post-holiday cleanups. - Two Double Bed Mattresses
Most double mattresses are close to 6 feet in length, so two mattresses would comfortably fill the space in the skip. - Two Canoes
Many recreational kayaks or canoes are around 6 feet, making them ideal for a skip after a few too many river adventures!
How Many Old Dining Chairs Would Fill a 12-Yard Skip?
Dining chairs are often overlooked as bulky items, but they can quickly stack up. Assuming the average dining chair is about 3-feet tall and 1.5-feet wide, you could get creative with the answer.
Here’s the breakdown:
Chair Size
On average, a standard wooden dining chair takes up about 3 cubic feet of space (factoring in the legs, seat, and backrest).
Skip Volume
A 12-yard skip holds approximately 12 cubic yards or 324 cubic feet of space.
The Result
With some clever stacking and Tetris-like positioning, you could fit around 100-110 dining chairs into a 12-yard skip! That’s enough to furnish multiple dining rooms or seat an enormous (and slightly wobbly) dinner party.
