Photograph the pile. We tell you which skip.

Photos of the waste

Up to 3 photos. Step back so the whole pile is in the frame, ideally with a door, a bin or a car next to it for scale. Trees and bushes still standing count too.

How high is the pile?

Photos are analysed and discarded. We keep only the size suggestion.

How it works

1

Shoot the pile

From two or three metres away, whole pile in frame, daylight if you can.

2

Say how high it is

Knee, waist or chest. That one detail fixes the scale of the photo.

You see the suggested skip, the volume range and why. One tap takes you to the booking form with the size already selected.

Photos that give a better answer

  • Something of known size next to the pile: a door, a wheelie bin, a car, a person.
  • The whole pile, not a close-up. Two angles if it is long or L-shaped.
  • Daylight and no flash. Dark or blurry photos lower the confidence.
  • If the waste is still inside, spread out on the floor of a room, photograph it from the doorway.
  • Rubble, tiles and soil: mention it by taking a close-up as the second photo. Weight decides the size for heavy loads.
  • Trees, bushes or a hedge still standing? Photograph them whole. We count the branches as they will be after cutting.

What a photo can and cannot tell

A photo has no ruler in it, so the volume is an estimate, usually within a third either way. That is enough to choose between 6, 9 and 12 m³, which is all you need. When the estimate lands between two sizes we always suggest the bigger one, because a skip that is too small means a second delivery.

Prefer to choose yourself?

The size guide shows what fits in each skip, with real examples.
