What can you put into a skip?
We will also accept heavier construction materials such as:
Although you can put almost anything in a skip, there are exceptions, including some hazardous items. First and foremost, we have a duty of care to ensure the safety of our employees; hazardous waste needs to be removed in a safe and responsible way. It is our responsibility to ensure that any items that are disposed of can not affect the environment or people around it.
If you have an item that isn't listed and you want to know if it is ok to put it into your skip, please give us a call at 01245 466646.
How much can I put into my skip?
We ask that the waste put into the skips is a level load, meaning the waste doesn't pile up high over the skip. Adding boards to make the sides of the skip higher is not allowed. If one of our drivers arrives to collect the skip and it is overloaded we will not be able to remove the skip from the property or site. This is to ensure the safety of our skip drivers and other drivers on the road.
