Can I Put Garden Waste into My Skip?

01/10/2019 by Bookabin

You may not realise it, but a general waste skip bin can also contain garden waste.

Check our Green Garden Waste Guide to know what type of garden waste you have. And there is also a General Waste Guide for your reference.

So, a general waste bin which is suitable for light domestic and commercial waste can take light domestic waste, light construction waste, office waste and green garden waste (mattresses, carpet, tyres and e-waste may incur extra costs – check with your supplier after the booking). The price for a green garden waste bin is based STRICTLY on green garden waste only, such as grass, leaves, tree trimmings, small branches, weeds, bark etc.

What cannot go into a General Waste bin is hazardous waste. This includes TV’s, monitors, fridges, paints, solvents, liquids or any asbestos. To dispose of any of these materials you need to contact your local council. They will be able to provide you with a contact who can dispose of anything hazardous or not accepted in your skip bin (i.e. food waste). In some areas, disposal of tyres and mattresses in the skip bin can incur additional charges. Your supplier will be able to advise you of these costs.
