About Making Sure You Know How to Handle Your Waste

1. About Making Sure You Know How to Handle Your Waste Waste disposal such as garden waste, other forms of waste whether at your cottage, your big house, or the restaurant or other commercial operation you own and run, can become a problem if not taken care of regularly. Of course the same is true for industrial premises such as factories, production plants, and building sites, for example. Some waste we know how to handle easily such as kitchen waste, for example, or the type of waste we recycle for our own purposes such as garden compost, where and when that is possible. But, in many cases, we simply do not have every solution and have to look elsewhere. A great option for many these days is calling in the help of a skip hiring services company. Few people do not know what a skip is. It refers to that large open-top waste container that collects waste in our streets, at buildings, at homes and at building sites when such waste becomes a problem either because it takes up space – and very often because it can pose health dangers when, for instance, it provides the perfect spot and circumstances for rodents and other infestations to take over one’s space. We all know that a clean, well-looked after environment normally guarantees that adverse conditions never develop because of waste. Fortunately, there are skip services available to assist with waste disposal, whether you live in New York, Toronto, Manchester, or London. They are available everywhere and can be booked from companies for your purposes. Of course, it is important to know what type of waste one is allowed to load onto a skip to be sure you meet your local authority’s requirements and demands in terms of waste removal, also when you hire a skip. In built-up areas in most urban environments all over the world – certainly in countries such as the UK, the US, and the EU region - one would be advised to heed the rules and

2. regulations. Whilst it is true that you can load virtually anything onto a skip to create room and better conditions at your property, it is important to know that various items may, indeed, not be added to the skip’s contents. For example, you can’t – in the UK at least – put asbestos in the skip, as it does pose a health hazard. Best is to call in a specialist removal person for this and other, similar, materials. Also, think of batteries: they contain harmful chemicals and acids, they explode easily when exposed to just the right amount of heat – do not put batteries of any kind with the waste that goes onto the skip. Medical waste products, your old electrical appliances, and old power tools, paint, tyres, TV’s and computers are all on the prohibited list as they can cause problems for the person that transports them to the landfill; all of these and various other items must be handled with care and preferably disposed of by specialist waste removal professionals – or by yourself, if you are confident about doing it without breaking the local rules and regulations. Therefore, make sure you know what you are allowed to load on the skip – and what not. Discuss this upfront with the owner of the skip you are dealing with. They do this all the time and will know exactly what you can and what you can’t ask them to take away for you. It is, unfortunately, the responsibility of the client, not the skip owner’s, to make sure only items meant for disposal are loaded. A good skip services company will always be able to assist with advice – and tell you what you may load onto their container. De-clutter your life: get a skip to clean your yard or other areas.
