Tell us what you’re clearing.

General waste skips are useful for a mix of ordinary household, garden and building waste. The exact contents must be agreed when you book.

Heavy materials such as soil, brick, concrete and rubble can reach a skip’s weight limit before it looks full. Don’t choose a larger skip on volume alone for a heavy load.

These need a separate conversation.

Do not put them in your general waste skip without prior agreement.

Plasterboard

Keep plasterboard separate from the rest of your waste. Tell us how much you have so we can explain the collection options.

Mattresses and carpets

Let us know about mattresses, carpet and upholstered furniture. They may need different handling and extra charges.

Electrical items

Fridges, freezers, TVs, computers and other electrical items need a separate disposal arrangement. Ask before booking.

Asbestos and hazardous waste

Never put asbestos, suspected asbestos, chemicals, liquids or medical waste in a general skip. Keep it separate and arrange specialist advice.

Keep it level.
Keep access clear.

Load waste no higher than the rim. Nothing should stick out of the sides or prevent safe lifting.

Keep the space around the skip clear for collection. If you find something you didn’t expect while clearing, call before adding it.
