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.

Skip Hire Balham FAQ

Skip hire prices in Balham 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. See our price list or contact our office 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 house clearances and kitchen renovations. A 12-yard skip holds around 9 m³ (80-100 bags), ideal for bulky items and shop fittings. A 16-yard skip holds around 12 m³ (120-130 bags) and is best for construction sites 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 Wandsworth 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. On narrow residential roads where a skip won't fit or a permit is not possible, 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 dispose of a wide variety of non-hazardous waste in a skip, including soil, rubble, wood, metal, old furniture and garden waste such as branches and grass cuttings. 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 Balham starts from £337.50 + VAT, which is £405.00 including VAT. Delivery, collection and disposal are included in the price.
Skip hire offers several advantages for modern waste management:
  • Convenience: It provides an easy way to dispose of more waste in one go.
  • Time-saving: Using a skip avoids the need for multiple trips to a waste disposal site.
  • Eco-Friendly: We recycle 98% of the waste we collect.
  • Cost-Effective: For large projects, an affordable skip is often cheaper than alternative waste clearance methods.
  • Safety: Keeping building waste in a designated container reduces trip hazards on your property.
