B&K Commercial And Domestic Rubbish Collection Amersham
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.
