Bathroom renovation skip bin
Written by the Local Skip Bin Hire team · Updated 12 July 2026
What waste does a bathroom renovation produce?
A bathroom strip-out is mixed waste — tiles, plasterboard, timber, cabinetry and fixtures. Tiles are heavy, so keep the load within the bin's weight; a general or mixed-waste bin suits most bathroom jobs.
What goes in the skip
- Old tiles and small amounts of rubble
- Vanity, cabinetry and fixtures
- Plasterboard and timber
- Shower screen, bath and toilet (non-gas)
- Packaging and general strip-out waste
What size skip do you need?
Most bathroom renovations suit a 3m³–4m³ skip. A larger main bathroom or combined ensuite job may need a 4m³–5m³ bin. See the skip sizes guide or the 3m³ skip page for details.
Important — what's never accepted
Bathrooms in older homes may contain asbestos in wall sheeting or flooring — this must be assessed and removed by a licensed asbestos remover and is never accepted in a skip. Hazardous items such as asbestos, chemicals, paints, gas bottles and batteries are never accepted in any skip bin — if prohibited items are found after collection, contamination and disposal fees will be charged and the load may be rejected. See the waste categories guide.
