Here are the most common questions people ask before booking a 6 cubic metre mobile skip bin.

  • It holds up to six cubic metres of waste and roughly 1.5 tonnes max.
  • It fits easily in most driveways, carports and apartment garages.
  • It is driveway safe because it sits on tyres, not steel edges.
  • Seven days hire is included as standard.

  • No council permit is needed because it is a registered trailer skip.

How much can a 6 cubic metre skip bin hold?

A 6 cubic metre skip bin provides over six cubic metres of volume once length, width and height are combined. In real-world terms this equals roughly four to five standard box trailers or approximately twenty-four to thirty 240-litre wheelie bins, depending on how well the load is packed.

Because mobile skip bins operate under strict road safety limits, the maximum permitted payload for this size is 1500 kilograms. This means the 6m³ skip is intended mainly for bulky, lighter materials rather than dense building debris such as concrete or soil. For current 6 cubic metre skip pricing, see our skip bin hire pricing page.

What is a 6 cubic metre skip bin best for?

A 6 cubic metre mobile skip bin is perfect for large household clear-outs where the volume of material is bulky rather than heavy. This includes deceased estates, major move-outs, full garage and shed clean-outs, large furniture removals, full household declutters and heavy green waste removal.

It is also commonly used for large business and office clean-ups. This includes furniture removals such as desks and chairs, storage clean-outs, packaging waste disposal, old display removal, e-waste loads and equipment disposals.

Typical jobs suited to this bin include spring cleans on large properties, deceased estates, relocation leftovers, full end-of-lease clean-outs, major storage purges and medium-scale rubbish removal projects where volume is the biggest challenge.

How to load a 6 cubic metre mobile skip bin.

To keep your load safe and compliant, place heavier items over the trailer axles and spread weight evenly across the bin. Keep all materials below the rim so the load can be safely secured and transported. Pack smaller loose items first and stack larger but lighter items on top to maximise usable volume. Avoid loading dense materials like bricks, tiles, concrete or soil into this bin, as they exceed permitted weight limits for this size.

The maximum load allowed for a 6m³ trailer skip is 1500 kilograms. More guidance is available on our mobile skip bin loading information page.

Did you know you can maximise space above the rim!

At Monsta Mobile Skips we let you get better value by loading bulky lounges, couches and similar light but awkward items above the rim, as long as they can be strapped and secured safely. Big furniture pieces take up a lot of internal volume, so stacking them carefully above the sides leaves more room inside the skip for boxes, smaller junk and mixed rubbish. The key is to keep the overall weight balanced and secure everything so it travels safely.

If you are unsure whether the 6 cubic metre skip bin is the right size for your job, compare it with our 4 cubic metre and 5 cubic metre skip options using our skip size guide. Each page shows exact measurements and example use cases to help you choose the right bin confidently.

Street Parking Without Permits

All bins are registered trailers. That means they can be legally parked on the street without council skip bin permits, saving you approval delays, paperwork and additional fees.

Driveway and Surface Safe

Trailer skips sit on tyres, not sharp steel edges. This protects concrete, pavers, grass and asphalt from scratching or cracking during drop-off and pick-up.
