B&K offers reliable and professional skip hire for domestic and commercial customers throughout Northwood and the wider HA6 area. Established in 2004, we handle everything from house renovations and garden clearances to construction sites and office clear-outs. Our skips take a wide range of materials, including general household waste, wood, hardcore, soil, scrap metal, paper, gypsum, garden rubbish and plastic.
Northwood is only a short run from our Ruislip depot, so we can usually deliver quickly and at our lowest local rates. You can book by phone, email, our web platform or our mobile app. If the skip needs to go on a public road or council-owned land in Northwood, a permit from Hillingdon Council is required - B&K arranges this on your behalf.
B&K Commercial And Domestic Rubbish Collection Northwood
Prohibited Items for Skip Hire in Northwood
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. They contain heavy metals and refrigerants that need specialist recycling and cannot be processed at a standard waste transfer station. Hillingdon's reuse and recycling centre accepts most household appliances free of charge.
Large Batteries
Car batteries and industrial batteries are forbidden. They contain lead and acid, which pose a serious environmental and safety risk in transit and during processing. A leaking battery can contaminate the rest of the load and make it hazardous. Take them to a specialist recycling point - most garages and scrap metal dealers accept them.
Gas Cylinders
Full or empty gas cylinders are strictly prohibited. They stay pressurised and combustible, creating a real risk of explosion or fire during transport or at the transfer station. Even a cylinder that feels empty holds residual gas. Return them to the original supplier or a gas stockist.
Medical Waste
Medical and biological waste is not allowed. This includes needles, syringes, soiled dressings and pharmaceutical waste. It is hazardous, carries an infection risk and must be collected by a licensed clinical waste contractor. Unused medicines can be returned to any pharmacy.
Asbestos
Asbestos is an extremely hazardous material linked to serious lung disease and cancer, and it is illegal to mix it with general rubbish. Plenty of Northwood garages, sheds and garage roofs built before 2000 still contain asbestos cement sheeting. You will need a licensed asbestos removal contractor - we do not remove it ourselves.
Tyres
Tyres need a specific recycling route and are banned from landfill. They are bulky, trap air and can damage sorting machinery at the transfer station. Old tyres should go to a registered tyre recycling facility, or back to the garage that fitted the replacements.
Fuel, Solvents, and Paints
Liquids such as fuel, solvents, paints, oils and other chemicals are banned from our skips. They are flammable, toxic or polluting, can ignite in transit and can contaminate groundwater if they leak. Dried-out, fully hardened paint tins are usually acceptable - if you are not sure, contact us before you load them.

Skip Hire vs Rubbish Removal - Which Do You Need?
B&K offers both skip hire and rubbish removal in Northwood. 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.
What B&K Offers to Northwood Residents
B&K keeps skip hire in Northwood simple. Order before 12pm for same-day delivery, subject to availability, and we will do our best to get your skip to you the same working day. Our standard hire period is 14 days, so you can fill the skip at your own pace, with rental fees of £50 per skip (or £70 per roll-on roll-off container) applying only if you keep it longer.
Where a skip needs to go on a public road, we arrange the Hillingdon Council permit for you. Many Northwood homes have long private driveways with room for a skip, which avoids the permit entirely - and where access is tight or a permit is not practical, our wait and load service clears the waste in one visit.
We can also advise on the right size before you book. See our skip and container guide or read more about skip permits.

About Northwood
Northwood sits at the far north-western edge of Greater London, in the London Borough of Hillingdon and right on the Hertfordshire border. It grew as a Metro-land suburb after the Metropolitan line arrived, and much of the housing stock is large interwar detached and semi-detached property with generous plots and long driveways - which is why renovation, extension and garden clearance projects are the most common reason people here hire a skip.
The area is also home to Mount Vernon Hospital and Northwood Headquarters, alongside the shops and small businesses around Green Lane and Northwood station. B&K serves the whole of Northwood, Northwood Hills and the surrounding HA6 area from our Ruislip base.
