What waste can’t I put in a skip?

Skip hire ensures convenience and ease when getting rid of a wide selection of items, however there are certain items that cannot go in a skip. Flammable substances, batteries, compressed gas, tyres, electrical items or electronic devices, and chemicals should never be disposed of in a domestic or commercial skip.

Asbestos is another prohibited item, which should be removed and disposed of by a licensed asbestos removal company, particularly in the case of commercial properties. The company must be an approved HSE contractor and must register the removal of asbestos and asbestos based materials with the Environment Agency. By law, you can dismantle asbestos yourself in residential dwellings, however various precautions must be followed to protect the health of those in your household and that of your neighbors.
