The 12yd skip is for what they call "Mixed municipal" waste. In other words no significant amount of brick, concrete, rubble, clay etc. Fill a 12yd skip with builders waste and they'd never lift it.
A builder years ago told me of how he was getting cheesed off when the skip company said he was overfilling. On one job he had a lot of clay to dig out so he filled up the skip (presumably an ordinary 6yd or 8yd) in layers and levelled it nicely with a whacker plate. Exactly full and not a bit over the top.
The driver had great difficulty lifting the skip on to the lorry (that's the short version of the story). Apparently when they emptied the skip the clay came out in a single skip-shaped lump.
