Our South Kensington Skip Hire Restrictions: Items We Cannot Accept
Electrical Equipment and Appliances
Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WEEE), such as fridges, freezers, televisions and computer monitors, cannot go in our skips. These items contain refrigerants and heavy metals that need specialist recycling. Take them to a local recycling centre or ask your retailer about take-back schemes.
Large Batteries
Car and industrial batteries contain corrosive chemicals such as lead and acid, which can leak and contaminate the rest of the load. For this reason, we cannot accept them in our skips. They must be handled by specialist battery recycling points.
Gas Cylinders
Pressurised canisters, fire extinguishers and gas cylinders pose a fire and explosion risk during transport and sorting, even when empty. Return them directly to the supplier or take them to a designated collection site near you.
Medical Waste
Clinical items, including dressings, needles and syringes, are classed as hazardous due to contamination risk. They cannot be placed in our skips and must be collected by a licensed clinical waste contractor.
Asbestos
Asbestos is a strictly regulated, hazardous material, and it is illegal to mix it with general waste. B&K does not collect or transport asbestos - its removal and disposal must be carried out by a licensed asbestos removal contractor.
Tyres
Car tyres are banned from landfill and cannot go in skips, as they are bulky and hard to process. Take them to a registered tyre recycling facility, or check whether your tyre supplier accepts old tyres when fitting new ones.
Fuel, Solvents, and Paints
Liquid chemicals, including fuel, oil, solvents and paint, are flammable and can contaminate groundwater if they leak. Dispose of them at a licensed household waste recycling centre - your local council can advise on the nearest site.

Skip Hire vs Rubbish Removal - Which Do You Need?
B&K offers both skip hire and rubbish removal in South Kensington. The right choice depends on your project, how much space you have and how quickly you need the waste gone - on narrow SW7 streets, rubbish removal is often the simplest option.
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 private forecourt or 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.

Skip Hire in South Kensington: We're Your Local Waste Disposal Partner
South Kensington (SW7) sits within the Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea, bordered by Knightsbridge, Chelsea, Kensington Gardens and Earl's Court. The area is served by major routes, including Exhibition Road, Cromwell Road, Brompton Road and Queen's Gate, alongside residential streets and squares such as Onslow Gardens, Onslow Square and Thurloe Square.
The neighbourhood combines grand avenues and narrow residential streets with beautiful period properties (such as mansion flats and terraced houses), garden squares, bustling high streets, and major attractions such as the V&A, the Natural History Museum and the Science Museum. This drives consistent demand for both domestic skip hire and business waste disposal.
