What You Cannot Put in a Skip

Electrical Equipment and Appliances

Electrical equipment is prohibited because it contains hazardous components and requires specialist treatment under WEEE regulations. These items often feature heavy metals like lead or mercury which pose an environmental risk if not handled correctly. You should take appliances to a designated local recycling centre to ensure proper waste disposal.

Large Batteries

Large batteries are restricted from standard skip hire services due to the risk of chemical leaks and potential fires. These items contain corrosive acids and heavy metals that damage the environment. Disposal is possible through dedicated battery recycling points or automotive shops.

Gas Cylinders

Gas cylinders are strictly forbidden because they present a significant explosion hazard during the waste disposal process. These containers remain pressurised even when they appear empty. You can return cylinders to the original supplier or take them to a specialist hazardous waste facility.

Medical Waste

Medical waste is a safety hazard that requires controlled disposal to prevent the spread of infections or injury from sharps. This category includes needles, dressings, and expired pharmaceuticals. Contact your local healthcare provider or Buckinghamshire Council to arrange a clinical waste collection.

Asbestos

Asbestos is a highly dangerous material that is illegal to place in a standard container. The fibres cause severe respiratory diseases if they become airborne during transport or sorting. Specialist contractors are required to handle, wrap, and transport asbestos to licensed disposal sites.

Tyres

Tyres are not accepted because they are difficult to compact and create safety hazards at landfill sites. Environmental regulations require tyres to be processed separately to recover rubber and wire. Most local garages or tyre retailers accept old tyres for a small fee.

Fuel, Solvents, and Paints

Fuel, solvents, and paints are prohibited because they are flammable and toxic to the environment. These liquids contaminate other recyclable waste and pose a fire risk to the delivery vehicle. You should dispose of these chemicals at a civic amenity site equipped for hazardous liquids.

Skip Hire vs Rubbish Removal - Which Do You Need?

B&K offers both skip hire and rubbish removal in Amersham. The right choice depends on your project, how much space you have and how quickly you need the waste gone.

Choose Skip Hire when...

  • You have a large or multi-day project, such as a renovation or building work.
  • You want to load waste at your own pace, over up to 14 days.
  • You have space for a skip - a driveway, or a public road where we can arrange a permit.
  • You are clearing heavier waste such as soil, rubble or construction materials.

Choose Rubbish Removal when...

  • Access is limited - no driveway, a skip lorry can't fit, or parking is an issue on a busy street.
  • You need a one-off, same-day clearance rather than an ongoing skip.
  • Our cage van handles it: 1 tonne loading capacity, or up to 5 tonnes with the large cage.
  • It is a wait-and-load service - your waste is loaded within a standard 30-minute window, so please have it ready and accessible.

Not sure which is right for you? Get in touch and we will point you to the most cost-effective option.

How to Book a Skip in Amersham

You can book skip hire in Amersham using our website, mobile app, email or phone. The booking process is designed to be straightforward and provide fast results for all customers. First, select the right skip size based on your project requirements. Second, provide your delivery address and preferred date. If the skip is to be placed on a public road, B&K can arrange the necessary permit from the local authorities to ensure legal and smooth delivery.

If you prefer not to wait for a permit, the wait and load service is a convenient alternative. With this option, the driver waits while you load the waste and then collects the container immediately afterwards. This method is ideal for busy streets where space is limited.

About Amersham

Amersham is a historic market town in Buckinghamshire, recognised for its distinct division between Old Amersham and the modern Amersham-on-the-Hill. The local economy is supported by a mix of boutique retail, professional services, and a thriving commuter population linked to the Metropolitan Line. This blend of heritage properties and modern developments creates diverse waste management needs across the town. Local businesses and builders frequently require reliable skip hire in Amersham to maintain the town's picturesque character during renovations on any domestic or commercial property.

Skip Hire Amersham FAQ

Skip hire prices in Amersham start from £337.50 + VAT (£405.00 inc. VAT) for an 8-yard skip. A 12-yard skip starts from £417.50 + VAT (£501.00 inc. VAT) and a 16-yard skip from £467.50 + VAT (£561.00 inc. VAT). Every price includes delivery, collection and disposal. The final cost depends on the skip size, hire duration and whether you need a permit from Buckinghamshire Council. See our price list or contact us for a bespoke quote.
It depends on the volume of waste. An 8-yard skip holds around 6 m³ (60-70 bin bags) and suits bathroom strip-outs and household clear-outs. A 12-yard skip holds around 9 m³ (80-100 bags), ideal for kitchen refurbishments and bulky items. A 16-yard skip holds around 12 m³ (120-130 bags) and is best for shop fittings, office clearances and large-scale projects. If you are unsure, call us and we will recommend the right size.
The standard skip hire period is 14 days. You can fill the skip at your own pace within that time. If you need it for longer, let us know - rental fees of £50 per skip (or £70 per roll-on roll-off container) may apply after the standard period.
Yes. If the skip is placed on a public road rather than on private land such as a driveway, a permit from Buckinghamshire Council is required by law. B&K arranges the permit and paperwork for you. The council permit fee is charged separately, as it is set by the council.
Yes. If you don't have a driveway, the skip can be placed on the public road with a council permit, which we arrange for you. If there is no space for a skip at all, or a skip lorry can't access the site, our wait and load cage van service is a practical alternative.
Yes, we offer same and next-day delivery. For same-day delivery, please order before 12pm, subject to availability. Early-afternoon enquiries are welcome and we will always do our best to help.
You can put most general domestic and commercial waste in a skip, including bricks, wood, metal, soil, hardcore, garden debris and old furniture. Certain materials are not allowed for safety and legal reasons - see the next question for what can't go in a skip.
The following can't go in a skip and need specialist disposal: electrical appliances (WEEE), large batteries, gas cylinders, medical waste, asbestos, tyres, and fuel, solvents or paints. Most of these can be taken to a local recycling centre or civic amenity site. For asbestos, a licensed contractor is required.
Yes, but soil, rubble and hardcore are classed as heavy waste and are subject to the skip's weight limit. For heavy waste we usually recommend an 8-yard skip, which takes up to 8 tonnes. Please tell us in advance if you are disposing of heavy waste so we can advise on the best skip.
Our 8-yard skip takes up to 8 tonnes, while our 12-yard and 16-yard skips each take up to 7 tonnes. Larger skips are designed for bulky, lighter waste, whereas the 8-yard skip is well suited to heavier materials such as soil and rubble.
After collection, your waste is taken to our own waste transfer station, where it is sorted and processed. Around 98% of everything we receive is recycled, diverting it from landfill in line with our environmental responsibilities as a registered waste carrier.
Our headline prices are shown excluding VAT, with VAT added at the standard rate. For example, an 8-yard skip in Amersham starts from £337.50 + VAT, which is £405.00 including VAT. Delivery, collection and disposal are included in the price.
Hiring a skip provides a central location for waste, keeping your working environment safe and organised and minimising the risk of accidents or hazards on site. It is also more cost-effective than making multiple trips to a local tip, saving you time and fuel. Furthermore, we ensure the waste collected is sorted and processed at licensed facilities, with 98% recycled to protect the local environment. If you need a skip, B&K is ready to assist with your requirements.
