Q.Someone has told me that I cannot put plasterboard into the skip. Is this true?
A. Due to recent changes in waste regulations you can no longer mix plasterboard with other waste as it has to be taken.for specialist recycling. If you have a quantity of plasterboard please call us on 01372 378764 to arrange for a dedicated skip for its collection
Q. What size skip do I need and how much can I put into it?
A. It is always a difficult question to answer. Strictly speaking skips should only be loaded level with the sides. Please remember that our driver has to take the skip on the public highway and a good rule of thumb would be ... “would you feel comfortable following your skip on the motorway?”. Load it safely so that nothing overhangs or could fall out in transit. Some skips are designed for light materials only - check skip details web page for more information.
