Skip Hire & Rubbish Removal Iver

Electrical Equipment and Appliances

Items classed as WEEE (Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment) cannot go in a skip. This includes fridges, freezers, televisions, computers and microwaves, which contain heavy metals and refrigerant gases that need specialist recycling and cannot be processed at a standard waste transfer station. Take them to a household recycling centre or use a retailer take-back scheme.

Large Batteries

Car batteries and large industrial batteries are forbidden. They contain lead and acid that can leak in transit, contaminating the rest of the load and turning a whole skip of recyclable waste into hazardous waste. They must go to a specialist battery recycling collection point or a scrap metal dealer that accepts them.

Gas Cylinders

Full or empty gas cylinders are strictly prohibited. They stay pressurised and combustible, creating a real risk of fire or explosion during transport and at the transfer station - even a cylinder that feels empty holds residual gas. Return them to the original supplier or a stockist that takes cylinders back.

Medical Waste

Medical and biological waste is not allowed, including needles, syringes, soiled dressings and pharmaceutical waste. It carries an infection risk for anyone handling the load and must be collected by a licensed clinical waste contractor. Unused medicines can be returned to a pharmacy.

Asbestos

Asbestos is a highly hazardous material linked to lung disease and cancer, and it is illegal to mix it with general rubbish. B&K does not remove asbestos - you need a licensed asbestos removal contractor for safe removal and disposal. Get in touch and we can point you in the right direction.

Tyres

Tyres cannot be landfilled and need a dedicated recycling route, and they are bulky enough to damage sorting machinery. Take old tyres to a registered tyre recycling facility, or leave them with the garage when you have new ones fitted.

Fuel, Solvents, and Paints

Liquids such as fuel, solvents, paints, oils and other chemicals are banned from our skips. They are often flammable, toxic or polluting, can ignite in transit and can contaminate groundwater if they leak. Buckinghamshire Council household recycling centres accept most of these as household hazardous waste - check before you travel.

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.
