If you are considering skip hire, you may be wondering what items you can put in a skip. This guide will give you all the information you need so that you can confidently decide what to put in your skip and what not to.

What Is A Skip?

Skip is a large container that is typically used for the disposal of waste. A common usage of skip is domestic rubbish removal or construction waste disposal. The skips come in several sizes, so you can choose the right size skip for your needs. We offer mini skip, midi skip, builders skip, and roll-on roll-off skip sizes.

In general, skips are designed to take non-hazardous waste. Here's a list of items you can put in a skip:

• General household waste
• Garden waste (including soil)
• Furniture
• Wood
• Plasterboard
• Metal
• Bricks
• Cardboard
• Paper

What Waste Cannot You Put In A Skip?

There are some items that must not be placed in a skip. This is because they are hazardous or potentially dangerous, and also because they may cause damage to the skip or the environment. Skip Hire Manchester cannot accept any of the following:

• Asbestos
• Electrical appliances and equipment
• Fluorescent tubes and light bulbs
• Batteries
• Tyres
• Paint cans
• Solvents and chemicals
• Gas canisters
• Medical waste
• Animal waste
• Polystyrene

If you have any of these items to dispose of, please contact a specialist waste disposal company that can handle these materials safely.

How Should You Put Waste In A Skip?

To make sure that your waste is disposed of in the most efficient and safe way, you need to follow some basic rules when filling the skip.

Firstly, you should make sure that the waste you put in the skip is levelled and evenly distributed. This helps to maximise the amount of waste that can be placed in the skip and avoids wastage of the skip space.

Secondly, you should avoid overloading the skip. If the skip is overfilled, it could cause safety hazards or accidental spillages. So, make sure that you fill the skip up to the top line or as directed by the Skip Hire Manchester team.

Finally, you should avoid mixing different types of waste in the skip. For instance, it wouldn't be wise to mix hazardous and non-hazardous waste due to safety reasons. This is because of the different disposal methods that must be applied to each type of waste.

Conclusion

It's important to remember that there are certain items that are not acceptable to dispose of in a skip, so make sure you don't attempt to dispose of them in the skip.
