The capacity of a skip or skip bags depends on the amount of waste it can hold. The maximum size for a skip is 16 yards, making it capable of holding a larger amount of waste compared to the largest skip bag size of 4.5 yards.

In general, if you have a considerable amount of waste to dispose of, it is preferable to hire a skip rather than opting for skip bags.

When comparing prices, skip bags offer a more affordable option than traditional skips. For instance, a 1.5 yard skip bag is generally cheaper than a 2 yard skip. Therefore, if cost-saving is a priority, choosing skip bags can serve as a viable alternative to skip hire.

Nevertheless, if you have a substantial amount of waste to dispose of, opting for a large skip hire may be more economically advantageous.
