Garages and lofts are where unwanted things go to be forgotten — until the day comes to finally clear them out. It's a job most people put off because the waste feels unmanageable. A skip from United Junk makes it straightforward: book, load, and it's gone.

Why a skip is the best option for a garage or loft clear
The mix of items in a typical garage or loft — old appliances, broken furniture, sports equipment, tools, boxes — doesn't fit neatly into bin bags. A skip gives you the flexibility to load items of all shapes and sizes, work at your own pace, and have everything removed in a single collection.

Choosing the right skip for a garage or loft clear-out

• 2 Yard Skip (25–35 bin bags, £125) — The ideal starting point for a single garage or a modest loft with a manageable amount of clutter

• 3 Yard Skip (35–45 bin bags, £144) — Better if your garage doubles as a workshop, or your loft is well-stocked

• 3.5 Yard Skip (35–45 bin bags, £168) — A comfortable middle ground when you're not quite sure of the volume

• 4 Yard Skip (45–55 bin bags, £192) — Worth considering if you're clearing a double garage or a loft in a larger home

The 8 yard is rarely needed for a single garage or loft alone, but if you're clearing multiple spaces in one go it's worth the upgrade.

Making the most of your skip
Break down large items, bag loose smaller waste, and load flat items along the base. Keep the skip level at the top edge — overfilling means it can't be safely collected.
