What to confirm
Talk through the expected material, the amount of waste, the available placement area and the route a delivery vehicle needs to take. This helps the team advise on the practical next step.
Waste and access
Keep restricted or unusual materials separate until they have been discussed. If placement is on a public road, permission requirements may apply. Confirm the details before delivery.
Project-specific advice
Keep plasterboard and suspect materials identifiable
Describe masonry, timber, soil and gypsum-based materials separately. Keep plasterboard apart until its disposal route is agreed. If older materials may contain asbestos, stop handling them and obtain competent specialist advice. A general skip enquiry is not an asbestos-removal service or confirmation that contaminated waste is accepted.
Contact the Birmingham team with your waste list and placement details, or read the skip-hire planning guide.
Questions about construction waste skips
Why should plasterboard be discussed separately?
Gypsum-based waste needs an appropriate disposal route and must not go to a landfill cell accepting biodegradable waste. Keep plasterboard identifiable and ask the operator how it must be separated and collected before mixing it with other construction waste.
