Easy Rules for Ordering Skip Bins

To ensure safe and efficient waste disposal, please follow these 10 simple rules:

Waste must not exceed the rim to ensure safe transport and compliance with regulations.

Strictly prohibited for health and safety reasons. If unsure, seek professional advice before disposal.

This includes paint, oil, fuels, solvents, and other hazardous materials that require special disposal.

Wet paint is classified as liquid waste and is not permitted.

Skips must remain in their original placement to avoid damage or safety risks.

Ensure the skip bin door is securely closed before collection to prevent spillage.

These items can cause health hazards, contamination, and unpleasant odours.

Small polystyrene or foam beads can be difficult to contain and harmful to the environment.

All waste is inspected before disposal, and hidden prohibited items may result in fines or additional charges.

Following these rules helps ensure safe, responsible, and eco-friendly waste management while keeping our service efficient for all customers.
