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
Separate reusable items and restricted seating first
Start with an agreed inventory, especially when clearing a property on someone else’s behalf. Set aside items for reuse before estimating the waste left for disposal. Describe sofas, upholstered chairs, appliances and liquids separately so their handling can be confirmed. Do not include sensitive documents or belongings that have not been authorised for removal.
Contact the Birmingham team with your waste list and placement details, or read the skip-hire planning guide.
Questions about house clearance skips
Can sofas and appliances go in a house-clearance skip?
Do not assume they can. Upholstered domestic seating can contain persistent organic pollutants and needs specific handling; electrical equipment also requires a suitable waste route. List these items separately and agree their acceptance before loading.
