When it comes to spring cleaning or home projects, one of the biggest things customers underestimate is just how much waste they will generate. At Bloomfield Resources, we often speak to customers who initially book a smaller skip, only to realise halfway through their project that they needed something bigger.
That’s why an 8 yard is one of the most popular choices for customers doing larger clear outs, renovations or bulky waste removal.

An 8 yard skip is a great option when you have more than just a few bags of rubbish. It’s ideal for projects where waste builds up quickly and you want to avoid multiple collections.
