Before collection

How to load your skip

Level loads only — keep all waste at or below the top edge of the skip.

Illustrative loading examples

✓ Correct: level loaded

Distribute waste evenly. Keep everything within the sides, with nothing protruding above the rim.

✕ Incorrect: overloaded

Do not pile waste above the rim or use boards to increase the sides. Excess waste must be removed before safe collection; additional charges may apply.

Heavy waste such as bricks, soil and rubble is only suitable for an agreed 6 or 8 yard skip. Larger skips are for light, bulky waste. If unsure, send a photo before collection.

Skip hire terms & customer acceptance

Read the prohibited-materials list, access and level-loading requirements, the £120 + VAT failed collection charge, and separate charges for plasterboard, artificial grass, carpets and roofing felt before booking.

Heavy waste should go only in suitable smaller skips, normally 6 or 8 yards. The 12, 14 and 16 yard sizes are for lighter bulky waste. Skips must remain level-loaded.

POPs and skip hire: upholstered furniture

POPs (Persistent Organic Pollutants) are harmful chemicals that remain in the environment for a long time. Some were used as flame retardants in furniture, particularly in foam and fabric.

Do not put sofas, sofa beds, armchairs, upholstered dining chairs or footstools that may contain POPs into a mixed-waste skip. Tell SKIPMAN about these items before booking so that separate collection, handling and disposal can be agreed.

In England, seating waste containing POPs must be kept separate from other waste and sent to an authorised facility for incineration to destroy the POPs. It must not go to landfill or ordinary recycling.

Separate handling and treatment can mean additional disposal costs. Any arrangements and charges for these items must be confirmed before you book your skip.
