Waste Types

We'll help you find the right skip bin for the job. Check out the Do’s and Don’ts of Mick's Skip Bins.

It is important to remember that hazardous items can NEVER be placed in any of our skip bins.

While you may have a lot of rubbish to get rid of, environmental and disposal limits mean there are some rules for what can, and cannot, go into our mini skips.
