Local Mini Skips You Can Count On
Sometimes known as a ‘small skip’, mini skips are the smallest range of skips available. We offer 2 yard and 4 yard options, which are popular for domestic customers looking for a convenient alternative to taking multiple trips to the tip. Whether you’re clearing out the garage at home or redecorating, save your petrol and keep your boot tidy! Our mini skips are compact, cost effective, easy to deliver and ideal for:
- Home clear-outs and garden projects
- Small building or DIY jobs
- Office or shop refurbishments
- Trade jobs that need a quick and tidy waste solution
We’re a family-run business that’s small enough to care about every customer, but big enough to handle all your waste disposal needs. Whether you decide to book online or give the team a call, you can be sure we’ll go the extra mile.
Eco-Friendly Waste Management
At Maia Waste, we don’t just move rubbish. We make sure it’s dealt with properly. We’re proud to be Mission Zero accredited and we run a zero landfill operation, which means nothing you put in our skips ends up buried in the ground. Instead, we sort and recycle as much as possible, and what can’t be recycled is sent to local power stations where it’s turned into energy.
So when you hire a skip from us, you’re not only getting rid of waste the easy way; you’re also helping to keep Wakefield and the rest of West Yorkshire cleaner and greener. We also give simple, practical advice on separating waste, so whether you’re a business or a homeowner, you know your rubbish is being handled in the most eco-friendly way possible.

Frequently asked questions about Mini skip hire
A mini skip is a small, convenient skip that’s ideal for jobs where a full-size skip would be too big, but it’d take multiple trips to the tip. Think garden clearances, small DIY projects or getting rid of household clutter.
Our prices are honest and competitive, with no hidden extras. The cost depends on where you are, how long you need the skip for, and the type of waste being disposed of. For an exact price, get an instant quote through our online booking platform.
