Small clear-out?
Bigger project?

Compare 2m³, 3m³, 6m³ and 8m³ skip bins. Start with the loose waste volume, then confirm its contents, weight and access before you book.

The size line-up

Four nominal volumes.

A little measuring helps

Estimate the pile, not the room.

Measure a loose waste pile in metres. Multiply its length by its width and its average depth. For example, 2m × 1m × 1m is about 2m³.

An irregular pile, gaps between branches and large items make this an estimate. This does not measure the skip’s external dimensions or its permitted weight.

For dense materials such as concrete or soil, ask about loading limits even if the calculated volume looks small.

Mini skip hire: 2m³ or 3m³?

The 2m³ mini skip costs R850 all-in. The 3m³ skip costs R930. If you need a little more volume, the larger option adds 1m³ for R80. These smaller skip bins are worth comparing for compact clear-outs and staged projects.

A bathroom renovation does not always create the same amount or type of waste. Fixtures, tiles, packaging and rubble need an inventory rather than a promise that one room will always fit one skip.

6 cube and 8 cube skip bins.

A “6 cube skip” means 6 cubic metres of nominal capacity; Orange’s 6m³ price is R1,500. The 8m³ skip costs R2,000. Both work out to R250 per nominal cubic metre.

The larger volume is not a guarantee that every heavy load is suitable. Give a material description when you enquire, especially for bricks, concrete, sand or soil. Ask for the external dimensions and loading guidance if the available space is tight.

Compare every price or ask which size suits your load.

A few useful answers

Before you hire a skip

Is a cubic metre the same as a ton?

No. A cubic metre measures volume; a ton measures mass. Different materials have different densities, so a volume estimate cannot establish an allowed weight.

What are the length and width of each skip?

External dimensions are not supplied here. Ask for the actual measurements and truck access requirements before booking a position beside a wall, gate or parked car.

Should I choose a size using wheelbarrow counts?

Wheelbarrows differ in capacity and how full they are loaded. Measuring your loose pile is a clearer starting point; then describe the materials and confirm the loading limits.
