You can usually dispose of any non-hazardous materials in a skip, like metal, wood, tiles and ceramics, empty tins, cardboard and bricks. Non-electrical fixtures and fittings, garden and domestic waste, tables, chairs and carpets are also allowed. Check with your skip hire supplier to ask about their specific guidelines and regulations. Or for advice on skip hire Blackpool customers can speak to our team.

Some items and materials are not allowed in skips, because of safety and environmental concerns. These include:

• Hazardous Waste: Chemicals, asbestos, batteries, and electronic waste. Specialised disposal methods are required for these materials.

• Tyres: These can be challenging to dispose of and are often prohibited.

• Fridges and Freezers: These appliances contain refrigerants that need proper handling.

• Plasterboard: Plasterboard disposal is restricted in some areas because it can release harmful gases.

• Gas Cylinders: Propane or other gas cylinders can be dangerous if not handled correctly.

• Flammable Liquids: Materials like paint thinners or other flammable liquids are generally not allowed due to the fire risk.

You cannot place a skip on a public road without asking for permission from the local council first. A permit will only be provided once they check that your skip will not impact traffic, public safety, and the environment. Unlicensed skips can be removed without warning and you face a fine of up to £1000. Contact Blackpool Council or the skip hire company for guidance.

UK regulation states that you can only fill a skip up to the marked level below the rim. Overstuffing a skip can mean that transporting it safely can be put at risk and effective disposal of your waste cannot be guaranteed. If you're unsure about how high you can fill your skip, or have questions about skip hire Blackpool, our team can help guide you.

If you intend to hire a skip and put it on a public road, requesting a permit from Blackpool Council is essential. If you plan to place it on your private driveway or in your garden, and it doesn't pose any obstruction, safety risk or environmental issues you can typically bypass the council notification. It's wise to verify this however because neglecting the permit requirement could result in the skip's confiscation and a potential fine of up to £1000.

Choosing the right skip size depends on what type of waste you need it for and how much you need to dispose of. A 2-yard or 3-yard skip is good for small-scale tasks like clearing a room or garden debris. Extensive projects like a kitchen or bathroom renovation may need a 4-yard or 6-yard skip. An 8-yard skip is suited to larger projects, like garage cleanouts or disposing of bulky items. When tackling construction work or sizable renovations, a 10-yard or 12-yard skip is usually needed. For substantial quantities of bulky waste or major construction projects, a 14-yard or 16-yard skip may be most suitable. We recommend slightly overestimating your skip size to prevent overfilling and getting charged.
