What rubbish can be placed in a skip?
Most rubbish items can be put in a skip, but there are some things that have to be disposed of separately.
Most household items and building materials can be placed in a skip but there are several types of items that cannot because of legislation on how they must be disposed of in the UK.
When you contact a local Sheffield Company for Skip Hire it is worth asking if you can dispose of any items such as the following:
Fridges and fridge freezers, computer monitors and display screens, batteries, chemicals, oil, and paints, building materials containing asbestos, light tubes, vehicle tyres.
All of these items (and several more) can be disposed of locally by contacting your local authority / council refuse collection department for further information.
Do I need a permit to use a skip?
If you want to site your skip on a public highway you may need a permit from the Sheffield council. In most instances you will find your local skip hire company will cover this - but it is worth checking before you arrange the delivery of any size of rubbish skip.
Many of the busy roads in and around Sheffield are unsuitable for the placement of a skip - this is because it could cause an obstruction especially to road and pedestrian traffic. Where appropriate your local skip hire company can advise you on this providing prior notice is given.
