Your supplier can recommend the right size based on your waste volume.

Question 4

How quickly can I get a skip delivered in Tunbridge Wells?

Accepted Answer

What cannot go in a skip?

Accepted Answer

Hazardous items like asbestos, plasterboard, paint, oils, batteries, and electrical items are usually banned from skips. Tyres and gas cylinders are often prohibited too. However, rules vary by supplier and waste type. Always declare what you're disposing of when you book — reputable Tunbridge Wells companies will advise what's safe and compliant.

Question 6

Do I need planning permission for a skip in Tunbridge Wells?

Accepted Answer
