Mini skip hire in Leeds: 2 and 3 yard skips
A mini skip is the smallest skip most firms hire, usually 2 or 3 cubic yards. It suits a garden tidy, a small bathroom refit or a clear out. Here is what fits, what mini skip hire in Leeds costs and whether you need a permit.
What fits in a mini skip
A 2 to 3 yard mini skip typically holds around 20 to 30 bin bags of waste. It is ideal for garden waste, a small bathroom or a single room clear out. It is small enough for many drives, which can avoid a road permit.
How much does a mini skip cost?
Checkatrade's 2026 guide puts a 2 to 3 yard skip in the north of England at about £65 to £110 a week, and the UK average at £125. MyBuilder gives £95 to £145 for mini skips. See our skip hire cost guide for Leeds.
Do you need a permit?
Not if the skip goes on your drive or private land. On a road or pavement in Leeds, a registered skip company must apply to Leeds City Council for a licence, and a fee applies.
