4 or 6 yard skip

Hi
Trying to decide between a 4 or 6 yard skip - I've seen plenty of 6 yard skips around, not many 4 yarders
I've around 20 bags of rubble, a bed, some carpet/rugs and plant pots and some soil/debris from the garden
Would a 4 yarder do the job? I don't want to overfill, but then again a 6 yarder is reasonably big and not sure if I've enough to fill
Thanks

I seem always able to find some more rubbish to fill a skip , go for the bigger one.0

neither are cheap go for the 6 yard (builders size skip) & maybe ask a neighbour if they have any rubbish to get rid of & you may be able to go half's on the costI'm only here while I wait for Corrie to start.
You get no BS from me & if I think you are wrong I WILL tell you.0 -
6yd, fills up soon enough. Ask about a 'cash price'0

As others say go for a 6
The advice I give on here is based on my many years in the preservation industry. I choose to remain anonymous, I have no desire to get work from anyone. No one can give 100% accurate advice on a forum if I get it wrong you'll get a sincere apology and that's all:D
Don't like what I have to say? Call me on 0800 KMA;)0 -
The cost difference between the 2 is probably only £50. If you get a 4 yarder but need another 2 yards, another 2 yard skip will cost you £100. It's false economy to go with the smaller skip.Eat vegetables and fear no creditors, rather than eat duck and hide.0

LOL Does no one else go for a smaller size and meticulously 'pack' it!0

give the bed, plant pots and carpets away on freecycle, and get a small one.Non me fac calcitrare tuum culi0
