ACCEPTABLE ITEMS FOR D. MCGUINNESS SKIP HIRE

Before hiring a skip from D. McGuinness Skip Hire, it’s crucial to understand the types of waste allowed. Although the following list is not exhaustive, it gives a general guideline:

• Food waste and its packaging
• Household waste
• Garden waste (greenery)
• Old furniture
• Carpets and upholstery
• Timber
• Empty, cleaned paint cans
• Plastics
• Metals
• Bricks and construction rubble
• Tiles and ceramics
• Discarded bathroom and kitchen fixtures

It’s essential to clarify with D. McGuinness Skip Hire about specific items permissible in their skips to avoid any additional charges or penalties.

ITEMS PROHIBITED IN D. MCGUINNESS SKIPS

Here’s a list of items that cannot be disposed of in D. McGuinness skips. Always consult with them directly for any specific restrictions.

Appliances & Electricals

Large appliances (e.g., ovens, washing machines, fridge freezers) and electricals (TVs, computers) require separate disposal methods. Components of these items can be hazardous and need specialist handling, not suited for landfill sites.

Tyres

Tyres should be processed through dedicated recycling services, as they require special handling for de-pollution and shredding.

Batteries

Due to their harmful chemical content, batteries should be recycled at dedicated points, such as local disposal centres or supermarkets.

Paints, Fuel, and Solvents

These items are classified as hazardous waste and require specialist disposal methods. Empty and clean containers may sometimes be permissible in skips.

Gas Cylinders

Gas cylinders pose significant risks and are not suitable for skip disposal. They should be returned for reuse or recycling.

Plasterboard

Plasterboard can emit harmful gases and needs to be recycled at dedicated facilities.

Mattresses

Due to their size and weight, mattresses are not suitable for skips. However, they can be recycled through specialised services or donated if in good condition.

Clinical Waste

Clinical waste, including needles and sharp items, is extremely hazardous and is not permitted in skips.

Always ensure your D. McGuinness skip is covered when unattended to avoid accidental contamination or additional charges
