– Furniture and other bulky items – these are best disposed of using our builders skips service as they have tarpaulin to ensure that the waste is protected from bad weather and rain during transit

– Motorcycle, car or other vehicle parts – these large items should be disposed using our Roll on/Roll off service where there is no requirement to wait for tarpaulin protection
– Tiles or roofing tiles – we have a range of mini skips that are designed to help customers dispose of these items safely
– Dry mixed recycling – this can be disposed of using our builders skip service as it is very manageable.
