Different waste types are handled and recycled in different ways, so it helps to know what you need to clear before booking your skip. Whether it’s household waste, garden waste, soil, rubble, wood, metal or general building waste, choosing the right skip for the job can make the process easier and more cost-effective.

Keeping certain waste types separate can often save you money compared to filling a skip with mixed waste. It also helps us dispose of your waste responsibly and recycle as much as possible.
