What types of waste can't be placed in skips?

While skips are designed to handle a wide variety of domestic, commercial, construction and demolition waste, there are certain types of waste materials that should not be placed inside a skip due to safety, legal, or environmental reasons. When you do order a skip in Edinburgh please remember the following waste types aren't permissable in skips:

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, contact us for a hazardous waste disposal quote in the Edinburgh area.

Waste Electrical (WEEE) Equipment: E-waste items like TVs, computers, monitors, and other electronic devices should not be disposed of in skips. These items often contain hazardous components and should be recycled separately to prevent environmental contamination. If you do need e-waste collected in Edinburgh please click the link to our WEEE Waste page for more information.

Refrigerators and Freezers: Appliances containing refrigerants should not be placed in skips due to environmental regulations. These items require proper disposal to prevent the release of harmful substances into the atmosphere, click the link and arrange an appliance uplift in the Edinburgh area.
