What waste types you can put into a skip bin

The identification of your waste type is normally fairly straight forward, however here is a simple guide as to what you can and can’t place in your Bookabin skip hire. The waste type affects the skip bin hire costs so it is important to choose the right bin hire for your requirement; if prohibited waste is disposed of in the rubbish bin skip, additional waste disposal charges will apply.
