What is garden waste?

Garden waste covers a variety of materials from landscaping and gardening projects. This includes many materials and things you no longer need, including:

Wood – Old fencing, broken garden furniture, wooden planters
Metal – Rusted tools, broken ornaments, etc.
Concrete – Old pathways, patio slabs, etc.
Green waste – grass, leaves, branches, hedge trimmings, soil, etc.

What can’t go into a garden waste skip?

When it comes to using a skip for your garden waste, you should also know what exactly not to put in. For the sake of keeping things safe and environmentally friendly, let’s go over everything that can’t go into a skip.

Hazardous materials

Your garden waste skip isn’t the right place for hazardous waste, and should be disposed of elsewhere. Hazardous materials include:

Paints
Solvents
Chemicals
Explosives (i.e. gas bottles, gas cylinders, fireworks)

Toxic materials

Similarly, toxic materials have no business in the garden waste skip, including:

Pesticides
Herbicides
Lead
Asbestos
Mercury
Paint

What skip size is right for my garden?

Choosing the right skip size is key for getting rid of garden waste. Skips come in various sizes to handle the different amounts of waste thrown in them, so picking the right size is needed to avoid overfilling.

For smaller gardening tasks that create a few bags of waste, a smaller skip – around 2-4 cubic yards might be enough:

For larger landscaping projects or bulky items like old furniture or plant pots, consider bigger skips between 8 – 16 cubic yard skips:

When it comes to choosing the right skip size, consider the volume and type of waste you have. This makes sure you can manage your garden waste efficiently, responsibly, and without overloading.

Do I need a permit for a garden skip?

When you’re getting a garden waste skip, double-check whether or not you’ll need a skip hire permit. If the skip is going to go onto a public road, then you will need a permit for your garden waste skip.

But if your garden waste skip is staying in your private land (i.e. your garden or drive), and away from a public highway like a pavement, you won’t need a permit. It’s very important to plan ahead and make sure you know where your skip is going to be.

Fortunately, we will arrange the permit during the booking period, and add the extra price from the council straight onto your quote so you’re not hit with a surprise cost.

Advantages of hiring a skip for garden waste

Hiring a skip for garden waste offers many benefits that make it the ideal solution for convenient, efficient, and environmentally friendly waste disposal.

Here are some key advantages to consider:

Convenience – With a skip, you can toss a whole bunch of garden waste all at once, saving you time and energy compared to making multiple trips to your local tip or recycling centre. Plus, skips come in different sizes, so you can get one that fits your garden waste needs perfectly.
Size options – Whether you’re dealing with a small home garden or a big landscaping project, skip hire companies have many sizes to match what you need. For smaller projects, consider a 2-6 yard skip. For larger projects, something closer to 12 – 20 yard skip might be best.
Environmentally friendly – When you hire a skip, your garden waste gets taken care of responsibly. Waste management companies like Wavertree Waste work behind the scenes to ensure that various materials are sorted and recycled. This reduces the impact on landfill and the environment at large.
Cost-effective – Forget about costly man and van prices. Garden waste skip hire services saves you money on transportation and labour costs.
