Is there anything I can’t put in a skip bin?

Yes. Some things cannot safely be placed in skip bins. This is usually because they pose a health hazard or are a fire risk—or sometimes because they need specialist treatment.

Asbestos, insulation, food, wet paint, empty chemical containers and oils of any kind cannot be placed in skip bins. You may need special permission to place mattresses or televisions in skip bins. If you’re in doubt, always check first to avoid extra costs.

If you have asbestos to dispose of, do not attempt to remove it yourself. Please contact your local asbestos specialists.
