Who is responsible for the skip's waste?
You are legally responsible for the contents of the skip you hire. You need to ensure that the waste disposed in the hired skip is suitable for general disposal and that the skip is not overloaded. If you are sharing a skip with a neighbour, you will also need to ensure that their waste is suitable.
What if I put hazardous waste in the skip?
An extra disposal fee may be charged if unsuitable waste is found in a skip, unless you have notified us prior to ordering. This is because our skips are normally hired for general waste, and hazardous wastes requires alternative disposal methods. Waste not suitable for general waste skip hire includes: -
- Plasterboard
- Asbestos,
- Fridges, Freezers and Air-conditioning units,
- Tyres,
- Electrical appliances,
- Batteries,
- Fluorescent light tubes,
- Paints (including residues inside paint cans)
- Solvents,
- Aerosols and gas cannisters,
- Liquids,
- Oil, fuel and other automotive fluids.
What happens if I overload the skip?
An overfilled skip is a hazard. The skip hire lorry may struggle to lift the skip, and your overfilled waste can be dangerous to other people as the skip is being transported. The contents of a skip should not exceed the height of the skip's walls.
If your skip is overloaded, the skip lorry driver reserves the right to either remove the excess waste from the skip, or refuse to remove the skip altogether. The latter will incur a wasted journey charge.

- Never set fire to the waste in your skip. This may sound like common-sense, but it does happen occasionally!
