What can go in a skip
General household, garden, construction and commercial waste, soil, rubble, wood, metal and furniture. Keep loads level with the top.
What cannot: asbestos, fridges/freezers, electricals, batteries, tyres, paint & liquids, gas bottles and hazardous waste — these need specialist disposal. Plasterboard must be separated.
Do you need a permit?
On your own driveway or land — no. On a public road, pavement or verge — yes, a council permit is needed, and we apply for it and add it to your quote.
Fees vary by council (roughly £15–£165) and some need lights or markings. We handle all of it.
