  1. 7 Items You Should Not Put in a Skip Bin

  2. Paints • While paint certainly isn’t a toxic as acids and pesticides, it still contains plenty of toxins and dangerous fumes. • As a result, placing them in a skip bin isn’t an option. • Instead, you could keep it incase your paintwork ever needs a top up, or you could donate it to someone who is looking to decorate their own home. • Whatever you do, don’t put it in a skip bin.

  3. Asbestos • Asbestos should never be placed in a skip bin as it is far too dangerous and can cause contamination. • If you are aware that there is asbestos to be disposed of before hiring your skip bin, talk to the company and see what solutions they can offer. • Some companies have bins dedicated entirely to the removal of asbestos - and this is the best way to rid yourself and your home of it.

  4. Gas Bottles • Any sort of gas bottle or propane tank has the potential to explode if the conditions are right, and this could be harmful to any people, equipment or property nearby. • If you have any gas tanks that you need to dispose of, contact your local authorities for information on how to do this safely.

  5. Dangerous Chemicals, Acids, and Solvents • Chemicals, acids, and solvents aren’t the safest things to have around at the best of times, and when it comes to getting rid of them, a skip bin isn’t the place to do so. • Any leaks could result in the chemicals absorbing into the sides of the bin and contaminating the surrounding environment.

  6. Herbicides and Pesticides • Similarly, herbicides and pesticides should be disposed of separately. • They often contain very strong chemicals that, if disposed of improperly, could cause lasting damage to the surrounding area. • If you’re unsure on how to get rid of any herbicides or pesticides, try asking a local garden centre for their advice.

  7. Tyres • Old types can take up quite a bit of space in your garage, but unfortunately, putting them in a skip bin isn’t an option as disposing of them is hard work. • If you have tyres to get rid of, try asking your mechanic if they can take them off your hands, or see if anyone nearby operates a recycling programme that includes tyres. • If not, you could always make a tyre swing.

  8. Appliances and Electronics • When it comes to disposing of your old appliances and electronics, most skip hire companies don’t allow them to be included as the risk of leaking coolants and chemicals is too high. • If you have large appliances and electronics - also known as white goods - to dispose of, read our post on Replacing Your White Goods here.
