Waste Materials Not Suitable for Skip Hire

Electrical Equipment and Appliances

Electrical items such as fridges, freezers, TVs, computers and microwaves (WEEE) contain hazardous components and are not allowed in landfill, so they can't go in a skip. Take them to a WEEE-accepting recycling centre instead.

Large Batteries

Car batteries and other large batteries are among the most dangerous items commonly found in homes and workplaces. Their lead and acid pose serious environmental risks, so they can't go in a skip - take them to a specialist battery collection point.

Gas Cylinders

Whether full or empty, gas cylinders are a serious fire and explosion risk during transport, so they can't go in a skip. Return them to the supplier for refilling or safe disposal.

Medical Waste

Careless handling of medical waste such as needles and syringes is a danger to our clients, our team and the wider community. It must be disposed of by a licensed medical waste contractor with the proper equipment.

Asbestos

Asbestos was once a common construction material but has been banned in the UK since 1999 because of its serious health risks. It must never be put in a skip, in any quantity - it has to be removed by a licensed asbestos contractor. Contact us and we will be happy to recommend a trusted specialist.

Tyres

Tyres can't be sent to landfill and need a dedicated recycling route, so they can't go in a skip. Take them to a garage or tyre recycler that accepts old tyres.

Fuel, Solvents, and Paints

Volatile, flammable liquids such as fuels, solvents and paints can leak, ignite and pollute groundwater, so they can't go in a skip. Take them to a hazardous waste facility - Harrow Council can advise where.

Skip Hire vs Rubbish Removal - Which Do You Need?

B&K offers both skip hire and rubbish removal in South Harrow. 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.

Same-day Delivery & Flexible Hire

B&K keeps skip hire in South Harrow simple. Order before 12pm for same-day delivery, subject to availability - with our depot only a few miles away in Ruislip, we can usually 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. If you place the skip on your own property, no permit is needed; if it goes on a public road, we arrange the permit from Harrow Council for you. For sites where a skip is not practical, our wait and load service offers a fast alternative.

About South Harrow

South Harrow is a suburban district in the London Borough of Harrow, in north-west London. Much of today's South Harrow grew up in the 20th century around its Underground station on the Piccadilly line, turning the old village of Roxeth into a busy residential area with a lively high street and local businesses. If you are looking for reliable and affordable waste management, get in touch with B&K for local skip hire in South Harrow.

Skip Hire South Harrow FAQ

How much does skip hire in South Harrow cost?

Skip hire prices in South Harrow start from £275 + VAT (£330.00 inc. VAT) for an 8-yard skip. A 12-yard skip starts from £350 + VAT (£420.00 inc. VAT) and a 16-yard skip from £445 + VAT (£534.00 inc. VAT). Every price includes delivery, collection and responsible 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 an accurate 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 domestic projects, garden clearances and heavy waste. A 12-yard skip holds around 9 m³ (80-100 bags), ideal for bulky, lighter rubbish from shops, offices and house clearances. A 16-yard skip holds around 12 m³ (120-130 bags) and is best for the largest commercial and industrial clearances. If you are unsure, call us and we will recommend the right size.

How long is skip hire for?

The standard hire period is 14 days, which suits most domestic and commercial projects. You can fill the skip at your own pace within that time. If you need a longer duration, please arrange this with our team when booking - 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?

It depends on where the skip goes. If you place it on your own private property, such as a driveway, you don't need a permit. If it goes on a public road or council-owned land, a permit from Harrow Council (London Borough of Harrow) is required by law. B&K arranges the permit and paperwork on your behalf. 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 across South Harrow. 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 most general rubbish in our skips, including household items, garden waste, and construction debris like soil, rubble and wood, as well as scrap metal, paper, gypsum and plastic. 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 (in any quantity), tyres, and fuel, solvents or paints. Most of these can be taken to a local recycling centre. 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 South Harrow starts from £275 + VAT, which is £330.00 including VAT. Delivery, collection and disposal are included in the price.

Can businesses rely on skips for waste disposal?

Yes. Although skips are often associated with domestic and construction waste, they are also an excellent way for shops, offices and other businesses to manage waste. Fast delivery, substantial capacity and clear pricing mean small and medium businesses can rely on one or several skips. As a licensed carrier registered with the Environment Agency, B&K disposes of your waste legally, in line with your duty of care, and recycles 98% of what we receive.
