Hazardous Waste

Hazardous waste is any waste that is potentially harmful to human health or the environment. Hazardous waste is not allowed to be placed in our skips. Examples of hazardous waste items that cannot be placed in our skips include:

• Chemicals, including solvents and acids
• Batteries
• Paints and paint cans
• Asbestos
• Electrical equipment, including TVs, fridges, and computers

If you're unsure about whether an item is classified as hazardous waste, please get in touch with us, and we'll be happy to advise you.

Weight Limits

Our skips have weight limits, and it's important not to exceed them. If you do, we may not be able to collect your skip, or we may charge an additional fee. The weight limit for each of our skips is as follows:

• 2-yard mini skip - 2 tonnes
• 4-yard midi skip - 4 tonnes
• 6-yard builder skip - 5 tonnes
• 8-yard large builder skip - 8 tonnes
• 12-yard maxi skip - 10 tonnes

Other Considerations

Skip Permits

If you don't have space on your property to place the skip, you may need to apply for a permit to place it on a public highway. Sheffield Skips Hire can arrange this for you, but please note that there is an additional fee for the permit, and it can take up to a week to process.

Loading the Skip

When loading the skip, it's important to do so in a safe, responsible way. Items should be placed evenly inside the skip, starting with the heaviest items at the bottom. This will ensure that the skip can be filled to its capacity without exceeding the weight limit. If you're not sure how to load the skip, please get in touch with us, and we'll be happy to advise you.
