Question 5

What can't go in a skip hired in Brighton?

Accepted Answer

Hazardous waste is prohibited: asbestos, chemicals, paint, oils, tyres, and electrical items cannot go in standard skips. Controlled waste like fridges, fluorescent tubes, and gas canisters also need specialist disposal. Brighton & Hove City Council has strict rules, so always check with your skip hire company about what's allowed before filling.

Accepted Answer

You don't need planning permission for a skip in Brighton, but you do need a skip permit from Brighton & Hove City Council if it's on a public road.
