1. Waste Types & Load Limits

• Skips containing light household materials may be filled up to one foot above the rim.

• Skips used for builder’s rubble (including soil, clay, bricks, stone, or blocks), and business skips (14 cubic yards or larger) must be filled level only – not above the rim.

  • Paper products, cardboard, ceramics, household waste, mixed metals, mixed recyclables, pottery, and wood.

  • Limited amounts of soil, construction, and demolition waste (depending on the skip type).

• Hazardous waste of any kind (e.g., toxic waste, liquids, asbestos, chemicals, oils, paints).

• Large electrical items (e.g., fridges, freezers, TVs).

• Gas bottles, batteries, fluorescent tubes, tyres, or medical waste.
