About Soil and Dirt Skip Bins
Soil bins are for clean, natural earth: soil, clay, sand and turf from digging, levelling or landscaping. They suit pool digs, new garden beds, slab preparation and lawn removal.
No weight limit
Soil bins have no weight limit, but they must be filled only level with the top. A full 2m³ of soil already weighs around three tonnes, which is why most people book small soil bins and swap them if needed.

- Clean soil and dirt only

- Sand (clean, no debris)
- Turf and lawn removed with soil

What Catches People Out
- Rubbish or rubble mixed in. Once the soil is not clean, it costs more to dispose of, and the supplier can charge for it. Keep other waste out.
- Heaping the bin. Soil is so heavy that a heaped bin may be too heavy to lift. Fill it level.
- Wet soil after rain. It weighs more and sticks to the bin. Cover the pile if rain is coming.
When Another Type Is Better
- Soil with bricks, concrete or rubbish. Book a Mixed Heavy bin.
- Only concrete and bricks. A Concrete and Bricks bin is the right fit.
