B&K Commercial And Domestic Rubbish Collection Potters Bar
Skip Hire Prohibited Items
Electrical Equipment and Appliances
WEEE items are prohibited because they contain hazardous components that require specialised treatment to prevent environmental contamination. Examples include refrigerators, television sets and computer monitors. You should dispose of these items at a registered local recycling centre or through a dedicated collection service.
Large Batteries
Batteries are excluded from general skips due to the risk of chemical leaks and potential fires during the waste management process. Examples include lead-acid car batteries and large lithium-ion units. Most household waste recycling centres provide special containers for the safe disposal of batteries.
Gas Cylinders
Gas cylinders are forbidden because they pose a significant explosion hazard when subjected to pressure or heat during collection and processing. Examples include propane tanks, helium canisters and fire extinguishers. You should contact the original supplier to arrange a safe return or refill.
Medical Waste
Biological and clinical waste is prohibited due to the risk of infection and injury to our staff and the public. Examples include used needles, surgical dressings and pharmaceutical products. These materials must be disposed of by a specialist contractor who adheres to strict safety protocols.
Asbestos
Asbestos is a highly dangerous material that is illegal to place in a standard skip because it causes severe respiratory diseases. Examples include corrugated roofing sheets, floor tiles and pipe lagging. This substance must be handled and disposed of by a licensed asbestos removal specialist.
Tyres
Tyres are restricted because they are difficult to process and are subject to specific environmental legislation regarding their disposal. Examples include car tyres and commercial van tyres. Take them to a tyre fitter that accepts old tyres or a specialised recycling facility that shreds and repurposes the rubber.
Fuel, Solvents, and Paints
Flammable and toxic liquids are prohibited to prevent soil contamination and chemical reactions. Examples include petrol, turpentine and half-full paint cans. You can often take these to a household waste recycling centre if they are clearly labelled. If you are unsure what can go in your skip, get in touch and we will advise.
B&K Skip Sizes
8 YARD SKIP
Capacity: approx. 6 m³ (around 60-70 standard bin bags)
Max load: up to 8 tonnes
Best for: residential renovations such as a large bathroom or kitchen refit, plus heavy materials like soil, concrete and rubble.
Our most popular choice - it fits comfortably on most private driveways, so you can often avoid the cost of a permit for the public highway.
12 YARD SKIP
Capacity: approx. 9 m³ (around 80-100 standard bin bags)
Max load: up to 7 tonnes
Best for: commercial office clearances and extensive domestic decluttering with bulky but lighter materials, such as furniture or shop fittings.
Clear an entire floor without multiple collections. Not suitable for filling entirely with heavy rubbish like soil or hardcore - choose the 8-yard for those.
16 YARD SKIP
Capacity: approx. 12 m³ (around 120-130 standard bin bags)
Max load: up to 7 tonnes
Best for: large construction projects and commercial waste disposal with high volumes of light, non-compactable rubbish.
Our largest standard skip - fewer exchanges and more efficiency on site.

Skip Hire vs Rubbish Removal - Which Do You Need?
B&K offers both skip hire and rubbish removal in Potters Bar. 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.
Potters Bar Skip Hire: How to Order
You can arrange skip hire in Potters Bar using our website platform or mobile app, by email, or by giving us a call on +44 20 8839 3147. Our team is happy to help you select the ideal skip size if you are unsure of your requirements. Order before 12pm for same-day delivery, subject to availability.
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. If you intend to place the skip on a public highway or road, we arrange the necessary skip licence with Hertfordshire County Council for you.
Where space is limited, or you need rubbish cleared immediately, our wait and load service is a convenient alternative - you get rid of the rubbish quickly without a container sitting on your property.
