Here’s what you need to know.
Skips are very efficient for many waste types. However, some items do not fall into the category of “general waste” and are treated differently at our recycling facilities. These particular items incur a disposal cost so we need to be aware that they are in the skip.
Here’s a list of common items and how we can help you.
