• Furniture

It is important to note that all waste should be placed securely within the skip, ensuring that it does not overflow or spill out of the skip. Overloaded or poorly loaded skips may not be collected by the skip hire company.

• Bricks
• Concrete
• Tiles

• Metal

Construction waste can be disposed of in our skips, but it is important to ensure that hazardous waste is not mixed in with the general construction waste (see below).

Inert waste

Inert waste is waste that will not decompose or break down over time. This includes items such as:
