What can I put in a skip?

You can put most types of waste in a skip, including:

• General waste such as household and garden waste, paper and cardboard, wood, metal and plastics, and small electrical items.
• Builders waste such as bricks, rubble, concrete, tarmac, and plasterboard.
• Heavy waste such as soil, sand, gravel and stones.
• Hazardous waste such as asbestos, batteries, chemicals, tyres, and fridges.

It's important to note that some types of waste require special handling and additional permits, such as asbestos, electrical and electronic waste, and clinical waste. You should contact us beforehand if you are unsure about what type of waste you have and what permit you need.

Do I need a permit to hire a skip in Herefordshire?

If you want to place a skip on public land, such as a roadside or a pavement, you will need a skip permit from Herefordshire Council. This is to ensure that the skip does not obstruct traffic or pose a safety hazard. We can help you obtain a skip permit on your behalf, but you will need to pay additional fees to the council. If you want to place a skip on private land, such as your driveway or garden, you don't need a permit.

What are the best practices for waste disposal?

To ensure that your waste is disposed of properly and safely, we recommend following these best practices:

• Sort your waste into different bags or piles to make it easier to recycle and reduce contamination.
• Never overfill your skip, as it can pose a safety hazard and incur additional charges. Fill it to the waterline to ensure safe transportation and emptying.
• Don't put any hazardous waste in the skip unless it's properly contained and labelled. Hazardous waste should be disposed of separately at a licensed facility.
• Don't burn any waste in the skip, as it's illegal and can cause pollution and health issues.
• Don't throw any prohibited items in the skip, such as asbestos, tyres, or gas cylinders. They require special handling and additional permits.
• If you're not sure about what type of waste you have, consult our experts or the waste classification guide on our website.
