Prohibited Items in Skip Hire

Electrical Equipment and Appliances

Electrical equipment and appliances are not allowed in general skip hire because they contain environmentally harmful materials that require specialist recycling. They must instead be taken to a registered specialist recycling centre or local recycling centre for proper disposal.

Large Batteries

Large batteries are restricted due to the presence of harmful chemicals that pose a fire and explosion risk during handling and transport. They require separate recycling through designated collection boxes, or a warehouse or scrap dealer for vehicle batteries.

Gas Cylinders

Gas cylinders, even when empty, contain residual chemicals that make them dangerous and potentially combustible during transit. They should be returned to the supplier for refilling or reuse.

Medical Waste

Medical waste, such as surgical needles or biological waste, is considered hazardous due to the risk of spreading disease and contamination. Specialist disposal must be arranged with licensed medical waste disposal companies.

Asbestos

Asbestos is a highly hazardous material that is carcinogenic. Government rules mandate that you hire specialists for its removal. It cannot be disposed of using standard skip hire services.

Tyres

Tyres are difficult to recycle and pose environmental risks, requiring specific processing. You need to contact a Tyre Recovery Organisation or tyre retailer to find a collector who will recycle or repurpose the tyres.

Fuel, Solvents, and Paints

Fuel, solvents, and paints contain dangerous chemicals and are often combustible. These materials must be taken to a licensed disposal centre via your local authority.

Skip Hire vs Rubbish Removal - Which Do You Need?

B&K offers both skip hire and rubbish removal in Battersea. 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 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 Battersea FAQ

How much does skip hire in Battersea cost?

Skip hire prices in Battersea 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 us for a bespoke quote.

What size skip do I need?

It depends on the volume of waste. An 8-yard skip holds around 6 m³ (60-70 bin bags) and suits most domestic projects and small business jobs. A 12-yard skip holds around 9 m³ (80-100 bags), ideal for medium-to-large projects and shop fitters. A 16-yard skip holds around 12 m³ (120-130 bags) and is best for major construction and business clear-outs. If you are unsure, call us and we will recommend the right size.

How long can I keep the skip?

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.

Do I need a permit for a skip on the road?

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.

Can you hire a skip without a driveway?

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 a permit is not possible or space is limited, our wait and load cage van service is a practical alternative.

Do you offer same-day skip delivery?

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.

What can you put in a skip?

You can put a wide range of waste in a skip, including builders' waste, general household rubbish, garden waste, soil, rubble, wood and metal. Certain materials are not allowed for safety and legal reasons - see the next question for what can't go in a skip.

What can't you put 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.

Can I put soil and rubble in a skip?

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.

What is the weight limit for a 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.

What happens to the waste after collection?

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.

Do your prices include VAT?

Our headline prices are shown excluding VAT, with VAT added at the standard rate. For example, an 8-yard skip in Battersea starts from £337.50 + VAT, which is £405.00 including VAT. Delivery, collection and disposal are included in the price.

What are the benefits of skip hire?

Hiring a skip offers unbeatable convenience and efficiency for disposing of large volumes of waste. Rather than making multiple trips to a disposal site, a skip acts as a single, central collection point for all unwanted materials, making the process more time-efficient and cost-effective for large-scale removal such as refurbishments or construction projects. It is also environmentally responsible: we sort and recycle 98% of the waste we collect, minimising landfill.
