Prohibited Items for Skip Hire in Borehamwood
Electrical Equipment and Appliances
Items known as WEEE (Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment) cannot be placed in a skip. This includes appliances like fridges, freezers, televisions, computers, and microwaves. These items contain components like heavy metals and refrigerants that require specialist recycling and cannot be processed at a standard waste transfer station.
Large Batteries
Car batteries and other large industrial batteries are forbidden. They contain harmful chemicals, such as lead and acid, which pose a significant environmental and safety risk during transit and processing. These chemicals can leak and contaminate other recyclables in the skip, making the entire load hazardous. They must be taken to specialist recycling collection points.
Gas Cylinders
Full or empty gas cylinders are strictly prohibited. They remain highly pressurised and combustible, creating a severe risk of explosion or fire at the waste transfer station or during transport. Even empty cylinders contain residual gas. Please return them to the original supplier.
Medical Waste
Any form of medical or biological waste is not allowed. This includes needles, syringes, soiled bandages, and pharmaceutical waste. This type of rubbish is hazardous and poses a significant health risk, requiring disposal by specialist, licensed medical waste contractors.
Asbestos
Asbestos is an extremely hazardous material linked to serious health conditions, including cancer. It is illegal to mix asbestos with general rubbish. You must hire a specialist, licensed asbestos removal contractor for its safe disposal.
Tyres
Tyres are difficult to process and require a specific recycling path. They are also bulky and can damage sorting machinery. Old tyres should be taken to a registered tyre recycling facility or collection organisation.
Fuel, Solvents, and Paints
Liquids such as fuel, solvents, paints, oils, and other chemicals are banned from our skip hire services. These substances are often flammable, toxic, or polluting. They can cause chemical burns, ignite during transport, and contaminate groundwater if they leak from the skip. Please contact your local council for information on licensed disposal centres for these hazardous materials.
