What types of waste can't be placed in a 6 yard builders skip?

While builders skips are designed to handle a wide variety of domestic, commercial, construction and demolition waste, there are certain types of materials that should not be placed in them due to safety, legal, or environmental reasons. Here are some common examples:

Hazardous Waste: This includes materials such as asbestos, chemicals, solvents, oils, paints, batteries, and fluorescent tubes. These substances can pose serious health and environmental risks if not handled and disposed of properly.

If you need hazardous waste disposal, collection and recycling in the UK please visit: https://www.hazwastedisposal.co.uk/​

Waste Electrical (WEEE) Equipment Recycling: Items like TVs, computers, monitors, and other electronic devices should not be disposed of in builders skips. These items often contain hazardous components and should be recycled separately to prevent environmental contamination.

If you need WEEE electrical waste disposal, collection and recycling in the UK please visit: https://www.weeecollection.co.uk/

Refrigerators and Freezers: Appliances containing refrigerants should not be placed in builders skips due to environmental regulations. These items require proper disposal to prevent the release of harmful substances into the atmosphere.

Furniture: Upholstered furniture can now no longer be put into skips due to the risk of contamination with other waste. Whenever possible, consider recycling furniture instead of disposing of it in a skip. We can help dispose off unwanted furniture with our man with a van waste collection service.

Tyres: Tyres are not suitable for disposal in builders skips as they are difficult to compact and can cause damage to landfill sites. Many local authorities have specific recycling programs for tyres.

Plasterboard: Some builders skips may not accept plasterboard due to its high gypsum content, which can produce toxic hydrogen sulfide gas when mixed with certain types of waste. It's best to hire a seperate skip for plasterboard waste disposal.

Medical Waste: This includes items such as syringes, needles, medical equipment, and pharmaceuticals. Medical waste must be disposed of through specialised channels to prevent contamination and ensure public safety, click here to arrange medical waste collection.

Asbestos: Asbestos-containing materials should never be placed in builders skips due to the serious health risks associated with asbestos exposure. Specialized removal and disposal procedures are required for asbestos-containing materials.
​
Gas Cylinders: Propane tanks, gas cylinders, and other pressurized containers should not be disposed of in builders skips due to the risk of explosion or leakage. These items should be returned to the supplier or taken to a designated recycling facility.

It's important to familiarise yourself with local regulations and guidelines regarding waste disposal to ensure compliance and prevent environmental harm. If you're unsure whether a particular item can be placed in a builders skip, it's best to consult with us so we can arrange safe collection of any hazardous, asbestos, electrical waste materials, click here and book electrical or hazardous waste collection.
