What NOT to put in our skips

Although there is an extensive list of materials and waste items you can put in a skip, there's a small number of waste items you can't put in a skip as they need to be disposed of in a certain way. For instance you cannot put hazardous or harmful items into a skip and these include but are not limited to the following:

• Fluorescent tubes
• Asbestos
• Tyres
• Fridges or freezers
• Batteries (including car batteries)
• Paint tins (containing paint)
• Clinical waste
• Gas bottles
• Liquid waste (including oil & paint)
• Uncooked meat products
• TVs & monitors
• Corrosives or irritants

Please Note: In the event of us discovering any of the above items when we collect the skip, we will unfortunately have to return the item(s) to you for which a charge will be made.
