How full can I fill it?
Fill the skip level with the top. Overfilled skips can't travel safely on the road, so our driver may need to remove the excess before collecting.
How much fits in 2 m³?
About 10 to 15 wheelbarrow loads. That's enough for most garage clear-outs, garden makeovers and small bathroom or kitchen renovations.
Questions about waste
What can I put in the skip?
Household junk, garden refuse, building rubble, soil, cardboard and wood. No hazardous waste, chemicals, paint, oil, asbestos, batteries, tyres or liquids.
How full can I fill the skip?
Fill the skip level with the top. Overfilled skips can't be moved safely on the road, so we may need to remove the excess first.
Can I put soil and rubble in a mini skip?
Yes. Soil, sand, stone, bricks and concrete are fine, but they are heavy: fill the skip level with the top and no higher.
What happens if there is hazardous waste in the skip?
We can't take hazardous waste to the disposal site. If we find it, we will ask you to remove it before we collect the skip.
