B&K Commercial And Domestic Rubbish Collection Balham
List of Items Strictly Banned from Skip Hire
Electrical Equipment and Appliances
Disposal of electrical equipment and appliances is prohibited in skips due to the presence of heavy metals and hazardous components. Examples include refrigerators, televisions, and microwaves. These items must be processed at registered specialist recycling centres to minimise their environmental footprint.
Large Batteries
Large batteries are strictly disallowed, because they contain reactive chemicals like lead and acid. These substances can cause fires or chemical burns during transportation. You should use collection boxes available at local supermarkets for small batteries or contact specialist collectors for vehicle batteries.
Gas Cylinders
Gas cylinders cannot be placed in a skip because residual pressurized gas makes them combustible. Sudden movements or physical impacts can lead to leaks or explosions. You should return cylinders to the original supplier for refilling or reuse.
Medical Waste
Medical waste is categorised as hazardous waste and is strictly prohibited in our waste removal containers. This includes surgical needles, bandages, and biological waste that can spread infections. You must hire licensed medical waste disposal companies for these materials.
Asbestos
Asbestos is a highly toxic material once common in construction that causes severe respiratory diseases. If you are dealing with building renovations, you must employ a certified asbestos removal contractor. Our skip hire service is not licensed to transport this material.
Tyres
Tyres require specific processing due to environmental regulations. They are difficult to recycle and represent a fire hazard if stockpiled. You should contact a Tyre Recovery Organisation to find a local collector who can repurpose the rubber.
Fuel, Solvents, and Paints
Chemical fluids like fuels, solvents, and paints are prohibited because they are flammable and toxic. Leakage within a skip can contaminate other recyclable materials. You should take these items to a licensed disposal centre via local council information.

Skip Hire vs Rubbish Removal - Which Do You Need?
B&K offers both skip hire and rubbish removal in Balham. 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 - narrow residential roads, no driveway, or a permit is not possible.
- 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.
