What is a skip?

At Skip Hire Oxfordshire, we offer a range of skips to suit your needs, including mini skips, midi skips, builders' skips, and large skips. Our skips are suitable for all kinds of waste, including household waste, garden waste, construction waste, and commercial waste.

What can you put in a skip?

You can put a wide range of items in a skip, including:

• Household waste, such as furniture, toys, clothes, and kitchen items
• Garden waste, such as soil, trees, plants, and grass clippings
• Construction waste, such as bricks, tiles, concrete, and wood
• Commercial waste, such as paper, cardboard, plastic, and metal

However, it is important to note that there are some items that cannot be put in a skip, including:

1. Asbestos - Asbestos is a hazardous material and must be disposed of by a licensed asbestos removal company. If you suspect that you have asbestos in your home or workplace, contact a professional to dispose of it safely.

2. Batteries - Batteries contain toxic chemicals that can be harmful to the environment if they are not disposed of correctly. Most local councils have special collection points for batteries.

5. Medical waste - Medical waste such as needles, syringes, and medicines cannot be disposed of in a skip. These items must be disposed of in accordance with local guidelines.

6. Paint - Paint contains chemicals that can be harmful to the environment if they are not disposed of correctly. You can take leftover paint to your local household waste recycling centre.

7. Plasterboard - Plasterboard contains gypsum, which can release dangerous gases if it is not disposed of correctly. Most local councils have special collection points for plasterboard.
