What can't I put in my skip?

Certain materials, such as asbestos, oil, printing inks, solvents, chemicals, clinical waste, electrical or electronic equipment (WEEE) have been classified as hazardous waste, requiring specialised removal and disposal routes.

The list of hazardous waste materials is constantly being revised with the introduction of new legislation.

Examples of waste products that need specialist removal:

(Please contact us for more information about hazardous waste)

Plasterboard
Asbestos (Removal can be arranged)
Batteries
Car engines or tyres
Creosote; or the cans or containers that have contained any of these products
Fluorescent tubes
Fridges or Freezers
Gas Bottles
Liquid waste of any nature
Oil, Petrol, Diesel, Grease or Lead-based Paints; or the cans or containers that have contained any of these products
Solvents; or the cans or containers that have contained any of these products

Ace Skip Hire and Solent Waste Services can help you to dispose of any of the above. We will be more that happy to arrange for special collection and disposal.

Do I need a permit for a skip?

If your skip is to be placed on the public highway you will need a permit (with four working days notice). Grass verges outside your property count as on-road deliveries. Driveways do not. Remember that skips on the road will require lights and cones - we can supply and advise on numbers and layout. If you are in any doubt we will visit the site to advise.

How much will it cost to hire a skip?

This is dependant on size and waste type. We will be very happy to give you advice and a quote right away! Telephone: (023) 92 501600 or Fax: 023 92 604 669
