What Household Items Can Go In A Skip?

Every home gets to the point where a good clear out or renovation is needed to make a fresh start. And skip hire is the easy, affordable and reliable way to get rid of your rubbish – but what can you put in a skip? To help you understand what can and can’t go in a skip, we’ve made the SCS Waste interactive home to illustrate.

Simply click the hotspots in the different rooms to find out which items you can and can’t dispose of in a skip.

Where can my skip be placed?

When it comes to where you have your skip placed, we recommend putting it on your driveway or somewhere else on your property. This avoids the need for a skip permit when placing a skip on the road. But don’t worry if this is the only space available, as long as you notify us when booking your skip we can help arrange the permit for you.

We also require a certain amount of access space in order to deliver your skip, so don’t forget to check out our handy guide on preparing for your skip!

What happens if there are restricted items in my skip?

If there are restricted items in our skips, the driver may refuse to collect the skip until they are removed, or you may face an additional cost. Please consult with us before booking your skip if you are unsure about items you need to dispose of – we can advise you on what we accept or how to dispose of items if we don’t accept them.

How can I make the best use of my skip space?

Looking to make the most of your skip? If you’ve got a lot of waste to dispose of, we recommend first getting a large enough skip size so you’ve got plenty of room to work with.

However, there are ways of maximising your skip by strategically placing and layering your waste. Start with your flat items, creating layers, not piles, then tessellate your smaller items to fill as much space as possible. Next, load your bulky, heavier items on top to compress the lower layers before using any loose debris to fill the pockets of space that may have been created.
