Disposing of waste properly can be a tricky task. It's important to know what items can and cannot be thrown into your skip in order to ensure that you're disposing of it the correct way. In this article, we'll go over some guidelines to follow when deciding what goes in your skip.

Firstly, hazardous materials are an absolute no-no! Items such as paint, acids and solvents should never under any circumstance end up in a skip as they pose a risk to both the environment and human health. Furthermore, anything flammable like aerosols or gas tanks should not be put in skips either. (Of course!)

On the flip side, many non-hazardous items can go into skips – including furniture like chairs and tables, carpet and flooring pieces as well as broken appliances like fridges and washing machines. You can even throw away large amounts of general rubbish such as paper plates and plastic bags provided it fits within your skip container.

In addition to these items, there are certain types of building materials which are also allowed. This includes bricks, tiles and concrete slabs so long as they don't contain asbestos fibres or other hazardous chemicals. Any rubble left over from DIY projects or renovations is also generally okay to dispose of in this manner too!

However, one thing you must always remember is that if you've got any kind of soil or earth – even if it's just a few shovels full – then these must never enter the skip under any circumstances! Soil contains organic material which could potentially spread disease so it needs special disposal procedures instead.(That's something you need to keep in mind!)

All in all, by understanding what kinds of waste belong in a skip and which don't you'll have no problem dealing with your rubbish correctly! Just make sure that whatever goes inside is non-hazardous otherwise there may be serious consequences for yourself or the environment.(Better safe than sorry!).
