Accepted Answer

In Randalstown, if your skip is placed on public road or council-owned land, you'll typically need a permit from Newtownabbey Borough Council.

Always confirm with the supplier and council beforehand.

Question 4

How quickly can I get a skip delivered in Randalstown?

Accepted Answer

Question 5

What can and cannot go in a skip?

Accepted Answer

General household waste, garden debris, timber, and construction rubble are allowed. Asbestos, hazardous chemicals, paint, batteries, and electrical items are typically banned due to environmental and safety regulations. Ask your Randalstown skip supplier for a full prohibited list before disposal. Incorrect items can result in additional charges or collection refusal.

Accepted Answer
