Have you ever ordered a skip bin and been left confused when it asks what content you need to dispose of? Let us introduce you to our general waste category. One of our most popular waste types, our general waste bins are one of the most flexible options you can rely on.
Due to it accepting a wide number of items and materials, this rubbish skip is one of the most generic waste types available in the skip bin industry. Which also makes it perfect to order when you don’t know what to expect from a waste situation.
Do you want to learn more about the general waste type for skip bins? Here’s what you need to know.
What is general waste?
General waste is precisely as the name describes; it means everyday items and materials often found in day-to-day household clean-ups. When you have a general clean-up, this bin category accepts most of the waste you’d expect to dispose of.
This makes it appealing for most clean-outs when you need to clear a property. It is our recommended waste type for when you have to tidy up to do but are still determining the type of waste you will get rid of.
What can be accepted into a general waste skip?
The beauty of the general waste type is that it accepts a wide variety of items. Covering general household goods, it is the most flexible waste type. In addition to general house waste, this inclusive waste type also accepts light building materials and green waste.
Common items and materials accepted in the general waste type include:
- Cardboard
- Clothes
- Toys
- Furniture
- Plastics
- Metals
- Light timber
- Appliances
- Light green waste
If you have significant amounts of green waste or building materials, you’ll need to hire our dedicated waste types for these.
Please note, general waste does not cover general putrescible waste often disposed of in your curbside bin, such as food, liquid or nappies. It is also important to note that asbestos, paint, gas bottles and fire extinguishers should not be placed in your skip.
What situations does general waste often come from?
Our general waste skip can be used for multiple situations. Its flexible nature allows it to cater to general waste generated in a wide range of situations.
The variety of items it accepts can be found in several waste situations. This includes common domestic waste situations, as well as commercial or industrial environments, such as shop clean-outs or stock clearance.
Situations that would be suitable for the general waste type bin include:
- Spring clean-ups
- Deceased estates
- Moving homes
- Decluttering
- Office/shop clean-outs
