The identification of your waste type is normally fairly straight forward, however it is important because certain waste types are prohibited from being placed in skips and also in many cases, the waste type affects the price of skip services. Therefore it is important to correctly specify your intended waste type because placement of other waste types may result in additional disposal charges after the skip is collected. The table below provides some guidelines. If you have any doubt as to which waste type your waste belongs,please feel free to call Jim’s Skips and our experienced staff will happily assist you.
| Waste Type | What You Can Put In | What You Can’t Put In |
|---|---|---|
| General Waste | Most general household waste. Boxes, wood, cabinets, white goods, clothes, toys, carpet etc. | Bricks, concrete, soil |
| Builders / Reno bins | Waste from household clean ups & renovations including bricks, concrete & general waste. | |
| Dirt | Only dirt, soil & sand can go in | Anything aside from dirt |
| Concrete | Only bricks and concrete are allowed. | Anything aside from bricks and concrete, “disposal facilities are very strict” |
| Green Waste | Organic waste such as grass clippings, branches, woodchips and bark, wood, fence palings | Any other waste type. |
Materials placed in the skip bin must not:
- Overfill the skip bin, so that they can spill out, or be blown
onto the adjacent area, or cause nuisance to pedestrians or
other road users. - Comprise any food waste or any material that may rot or
cause offensive odors or other nuisance to residents or road
users.
Car batteries are fine but please place them on top.
