Waste Materials That Skip Hire Will Accept
On the whole, there are some common waste materials that skip hire and waste disposal services will be able to handle and get rid of for you. However, it's important to remember that each skip hire service is different, so be sure to check with your provider before throwing waste in your skip. We’ve outlined the most common waste materials that can be thrown in a skip.
● Paper & Cardboard - Paper and cardboard can be some of the easiest materials to hoard. From newspapers to old books and magazines. If you're having a clear out, your paper and cardboard can definitely be thrown in your skip.
● Construction Waste - Ensure that you double check with your waste disposal service before putting construction waste in your skip, but on the whole they will accept materials such as insulation, plaster...etc.
● Metal - Scrap metal and other pieces of metal waste (aside from e-waste) can be thrown in your skip, and they will be recycled at the next waste transfer facility.
● Glass - Just like metal items, if not handled correctly, glass can be dangerous to simply throw in your general waste bin. When using a skip, your glass items can definitely be disposed of safely.
● Plastic - Many plastic items can be thrown in a skip, but be careful to avoid e-waste items, which may not be accepted.
● Garden Waste - Organic waste such as garden waste can definitely be thrown in your skip, and it will be taken to specialist facilities to be composted and used again.
Things To Avoid Putting In Your Skip
While skip hire services will take most of the materials listed above, and potentially other materials, some key things to avoid putting in your skip are:
● Hazardous Waste - Any kinds of hazardous materials that can cause harm or need to be handled with proper care should not go into your skip.
● E-Waste - Electrical appliances will need to be handled carefully, and should not go in a skip.
● Medical Waste - Medical waste can cause sanitary risks and should also not go into your skip.
