What Can Go in a Builders Skip?
Our construction skips accept all standard non-hazardous building waste, including:
- Bricks, concrete blocks, and rubble
- Hardcore and excavation material (soil, sand, gravel) - note: heavy loads may require a smaller skip to stay within weight limits
- Timber, wood, and site hoarding
- Scrap metal - steel, aluminium, and mixed metals
- Plastics - piping, sheeting, and packaging
- General builders rubbish and mixed site waste
The following items are prohibited from general construction skips by UK law and cannot be accepted: asbestos, plasterboard, hazardous chemicals, solvents, paints and oils, gas cylinders and pressurised containers, electrical items and WEEE, tyres, medical waste, and upholstered furniture (subject to POPs regulations). If your project involves any of these materials, contact our team - we offer specialist hazardous waste disposal, asbestos removal, and tailored solutions for all restricted waste streams.
