Waste Regulations constantly change so please ensure that whoever fills the skip is aware of the following information.
To avoid any disruption or additional charges later, it is advisable to ensure that all persons who are using the skip are also made aware of these conditions, especially the ‘WASTE’ section below.
Failure to read the below is NOT a valid reason for non-compliance.
WE OPERATE A STRICT LEVEL LOADS ONLY POLICY
It is illegal to transport unsafe and/or overloaded containers. Any waste that exceeds the boundary of the skip will not be taken. Excess waste will either be removed, or we will leave the skip on site for you to level. Additional haulage charge may apply. Our driver has the final say on what is deemed a level load.

CARPET
due to its heavy nature, we can only accept small amounts in our skips.
GLASS
we only accept a very small amount of glass in our skips and this must NOT be directly mixed with other wastes.
PLASTERBOARD
must be clean, bagged and kept separate. Plasterboard cannot be mixed with other waste.
HARDCORE & SOIL
We can accept skips that have a mixture of hardcore (rubble), soil and mixed waste but they must NOT be directly mixed. We suggest placing any soil in first, then hardcore and finally the other waste on top. This limits the chance of the soil being mixed with other waste.
THE DELIVERY
We would advise that someone is present at the time of delivery to ensure that skip is safely and correctly positioned. However, should this not be possible, than our driver will place the skip in the most suitable and safe position available to them. Someone must be available if the skip is to be positioned on the road.
POSITION OF SKIP
Upon instructing T J Skips Ltd to leave the highway (including the positioning and siting of our container), you accept complete liability for any damage caused whilst our vehicle is off the highway. This will include and is not exclusive too damage to driveways, manholes, manhole covers and grass.
OUR SKIPS MUST NOT BE MOVED BY ANY OTHER PERSON,
VEHICLE OR MACHINERY OTHER THAN OUR OWN.
We cannot guarantee to safely remove a skip if it has been moved from the original position.
USING OUR SKIP
The use of our skip is to safely contain non-hazardous waste. You the hirer, accept full liability that only accepted waste is placed inside our skips and in such a way as to not cause harm to person or the environment and to ensure that all waste is kept within the confinements of the skip’s boundary. Fires either inside or close to the skip is forbidden, and any subsequent damage will be charged.
ADDITIONAL CHARGES
Skips found to contain non-accepted/hazardous waste or skips where plasterboard has been incorrectly stored will be subject to an additional charge. The additional charge will depend on the quantity of the unaccepted waste, any contamination of other waste as well as any additional haulage charge. Please note that normally the skip will be returned to your site, where it will be your responsibility to safely remove the unaccepted item from the skip.
