Can You Mix Soil and Rubble in a Skip?

Whether you’re in the process of doing up your driveway or carrying out home renovations, you will often be left with materials such as soil and rubble which would need clearing up. However, you may also be wondering if you can dispose of these materials together in the same skip.

At Evergreen Skip Hire, we provide waste removal solutions to both homes and business. So, although these materials are usually fine to dispose of, it is best to discuss this with our team first to ensure we are able to accept it. This will avoid any problems when it comes to collection.

What’s the Issue with Mixing Soil and Rubble?

Soil and rubble are some of the most common waste materials which are put into skips following building works and other construction projects. So, even though these materials can sometimes be disposed of together, they can actually exceed the permitted weigh limits of a skip. This can in turn affect the collection of the skip due to safety reasons.

Choosing the Right Skip to Dispose of Soil and Rubble

When it comes to choosing the right skip for heavy waste materials, you don’t often have to choose a bigger skip. A smaller skip will do just fine if you’re simply getting rid of things like soil, bricks or concrete waste.

If you’re unsure if your waste materials can in the same skip together, speak to the team at Evergreen, and we’ll be happy to go through any restrictions and help you choose a suitable option.
