We understand that many people are confused about what they can and cannot put in a skip. In this landing page, we will guide you through everything you need to know about what you can put in a skip you hire from us. So, whether youre doing a house clearance or a construction project, weve got you covered.

Skips

We have a variety of skip sizes available, ranging from 2-yard mini skips to 12-yard maxi skips. The size of the skip you will need depends on the volume of waste you need to dispose of. We also offer roll-on roll-off containers for larger projects.

Waste

You can put almost any non-hazardous waste in our skips. This includes:

• General household and garden waste: green waste, paper, cardboard, plastic, wood, furniture, appliances, metal, textiles, toys, etc.
• Construction and demolition waste: soil, bricks, concrete, rubble, tiles, plasterboard, etc.
• Commercial and industrial waste: office waste, packaging waste, production waste, etc.

However, there are some items that cannot be disposed of in a skip. These include:

Items that cannot be disposed of in skips

If you have any of these materials to dispose of, you should contact your local council or a specialist waste management company for advice on how to dispose of them.

How to put your skip to good use

1. Sort your waste

Before you start filling your skip, separate your waste into different categories. This makes it easier for you to recycle and reuse as much waste as possible.

2. Pack your waste efficiently

When filling the skip, pack your waste as efficiently as possible. Start with large heavy items and fill gaps with smaller lighter items. This will help you get more waste into the skip and prevent any space being left unused.

3. Dont overload the skip

Do not overload your skip as this can make it difficult to remove and pose a risk to the public. Overloading the skip also means that we may not be able to take it away, and this can result in additional charges.

4. Hire the right size skip

Hiring the right size skip is essential. If you hire a skip that is too small, you may have to pay for additional collections. But, if you hire a skip that is too large, then you will be paying for space that you do not need.

At Skip Hire Harrow, we will help you choose the right skip for your needs to save you time and money in the long run.
