Waste Types
Why it is important to correctly identify your type of waste
Certain types of waste are prohibited from being placed in skip bins by law.
In addition, the dumps where we dispose of your waste have very strict guidelines, which we are bound to abide by.
It is critical that you correctly identify the type of waste you are going to place in your bin to avoid additional charges imposed by the disposal facility.
