Timber kept safely below the skip rim

Keep the load below the rim

Waste must sit safely inside the skip. Do not stack items above the top, extend the sides or leave long pieces sticking out.

Break down suitable bulky items where it is safe to do so. Spread the load, and follow the agreed limits for heavy materials. Keep restricted items separate from the start.

Tell us if the waste changes after booking. Do not add unknown materials just because there is room.
