Everyday materials such as wood, plastics, metals, paper, cardboard, furniture, clothing, bricks, and recyclable plastics can be confidently disposed of in a skip. Rubble, concrete, uncontaminated soil, and garden waste are also usually permitted. Restrictions relate to hazardous waste such as chemicals, asbestos, paint, oils, electronic waste and batteries. Specific regulations may differ, so consulting your local skip provider or relevant authorities is advisable to ensure compliance.

But on the whole, hazardous materials cannot be put in a skip, due to safety and environmental concerns. This includes asbestos, chemicals, paint, solvents, and batteries, as well as WEEE waste items and electrical appliances like refrigerators, and freezers.
