Can you put sand in a mini skip?
We do allow sand to be disposed of in our mini skips. However, we also offer dedicated skips for sand removal to ensure the safe and efficient disposal of this material. If you have a large amount of sand to dispose of, we recommend reviewing our range of skip bin sizes.
Can you put a mattress in a mini skip bin?
At Just Skips, we do allow mattresses to be disposed of in our skip bins. However, it’s important to note that additional charges apply. This is due to the springs in the mattress making it a more complex recycling process. If your mattress is foam, no additional fees will apply on top of your skip bin hire.
