Skip bag sizes and prices
Skip bag hire from D J Recycling costs £70 + VAT for a 1 yard bag, £125 + VAT for 1.5 yards and £240 + VAT for 4.5 yards. Delivery and collection are included, and you fill the bag at your own pace.
| Bag size | Price, ex VAT | Roughly holds | Good for |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 yard | £70 | 10 to 15 bin bags | A one-room clear-out or a small DIY job |
| 1.5 yard | £125 | A small garden tidy or a few bulky items | Garden waste, old furniture, a shed clear-out |
| 4.5 yard | £240 | About the same as a small skip | Light, bulky waste where a skip will not fit |
Skip bag or skip: which is better value?
A skip bag suits a slow clear-out when space is tight and the waste is fairly light. It folds flat, so it fits on a narrow drive, a front garden or a courtyard where a steel skip would not.
Once you have more than a few bags of waste, a skip usually works out cheaper per bag. A 2 yard skip is £125 + VAT for mixed waste and holds 20 to 30 bin bags, and for heavy rubble a 2 yard hardcore skip at £100 + VAT is the better choice. Compare mini skip hire, see all skip sizes, or check our affordable skip hire guide for the lowest price for your job.
If you would rather not load anything yourself, our rubbish removal team can do the lifting for you.
What can go in a skip bag?
Heavy or awkward items
Rubble, soil and bricks, which should stay in the smaller bags, plus plasterboard and electrical items.
Hazardous waste
Asbestos, paint, chemicals, gas bottles, batteries, tyres and anything containing liquids.

Where can the bag go?
Put the bag somewhere our lorry can reach with its lifting arm, ideally on your drive or within a few metres of the road. Keep it clear of overhead cables, low branches and parked cars, and on firm, level ground.
A bag on your own land needs no permit. If it would sit on the road or pavement, it may need a licence like a skip. See the West Sussex County Council skip licence rules, or send us a photo of the spot and we will tell you.
Who skip bags suit best
Skip bags work well for flats with no drive, terraced streets in Worthing, Broadwater and Shoreham, and one-room clear-outs that would leave a 2 yard skip half empty.
They are also handy for gardeners and landlords who want to clear a little at a time, because there is no rush to fill the bag before a skip is due back.

CLEAR ANSWERS
Skip bag hire FAQs
Quick answers to what people ask us most.
How much does skip bag hire cost in Worthing?
Our skip bags cost £70 + VAT for 1 yard, £125 + VAT for 1.5 yards and £240 + VAT for 4.5 yards. Delivery and collection are included in the price.
How many bin bags fit in a skip bag?
A 1 yard bag takes roughly 10 to 15 bin bags of light waste. A 1.5 yard bag takes a small garden tidy or a few bulky items, and a 4.5 yard bag holds about the same as a small skip.
Can I put rubble or soil in a skip bag?
Keep heavy rubble and soil to the smaller bags so they stay safe to lift, and tell us about it when you book. If most of the load is rubble, a 2 yard hardcore skip at £100 + VAT is usually better value.
Do I need a permit for a skip bag?
Not if the bag sits on your drive, front garden or other private land. If it would sit on the road or pavement, it may need a licence from West Sussex County Council, just like a skip.
Where does the bag need to go for collection?
Somewhere our lorry can reach with its lifting arm, ideally on a drive or within a few metres of the road. Keep it clear of overhead cables, low branches and parked cars.
Is a skip bag cheaper than a skip?
For very small jobs, yes. Once you have more than a few bags of waste, a 2 yard skip from £125 + VAT for mixed waste usually works out better value, because it holds more.
Which areas do you deliver skip bags to?
We deliver skip bags across Worthing and West Sussex, including Lancing, Shoreham-by-Sea, Littlehampton, Rustington, Angmering, Arundel and the villages around them.
