We are committed to protecting our environment and minimising landfill where we can. While we collect most of the rubbish associated with building, renovating, gardening, and landscaping, spring cleans, site cleans, scrap metal and more, the following items are not permitted in your Skip:
- No food or liquid
- No food products or food waste
- No liquids, batteries, chemicals, paints, gas bottles, oil heaters or other hazardous waste
- No Asbestos or Asbestos Containing Materials (eg. Fibro cement sheeting, corrugated asbestos roofing, insulation)
Some items can go in for an extra charge; see ‘Are there any extra charges?’ question in our FAQs.
Permit fees are applicable for skips placed on Council land in Lake Macquarie and City of Newcastle. Details are included within our online booking request form.
