What Cannot Be Placed in a 16 Yard Skip?

Some waste streams require specialist collection and cannot be placed in a 16-yard skip.
​
These include:
  • Asbestos
  • Paints and solvents
  • Chemicals
  • Batteries
  • Gas cylinders
  • Tyres
  • Clinical waste
  • Fire extinguishers
  • Oils and fuels
  • Fridges and freezers
  • Electrical equipment (WEEE)
If your project includes any of these materials, our Glasgow team can arrange compliant specialist collections through our network of waste partners.

Can a 16 Yard Skip Be Used for Soil and Rubble?

A 16-yard skip is not generally recommended for heavy waste such as:
  • Soil
  • Hardcore
  • Concrete
  • Bricks
  • Stone
Heavy materials can quickly exceed the skip's legal lifting weight. If you're disposing mainly of dense construction waste, an 8-yard builder's skip or a 20-yard RORO skip is usually the better option.

Our team will always recommend the most suitable skip size based on your waste type.

Do I Need a Skip Permit in Glasgow?

If your 16-yard skip will be placed:
  • On your driveway
  • Private land
  • Construction site
​No skip hire permit is normally required.

If the skip needs to be positioned on a public road or pavement, a Glasgow City Council skip permit is usually required before delivery.

Our team can arrange a Glasgow skip hire permit or arrange grab lorry hire on your behalf where required, making the process straightforward.

​​"Booked a 14yrd wait and load. Really good experience from start to end - Craig gave us a good deal and was helpful and responsive, letting us postpone the booking due to delays on our side, and driver of the skip helped us load the skip to maximise space. All round great experience and everyone very friendly and professional, would definitely recommend :)"

​​"Very happy with the skip hire and customer service prior to the date. The company was extremely responsive and helpful in arranging a Wait and Load in an area with roadworks, and managed to secure a suitable time as well! I would sincerely recommend that the payment method be considered. Not everyone might be able to pay via phone on the spot."
