Wheelie bins will be delivered by our Mercedes Sprinter van and be emptied by a standard size refuse collection vehicle.

Wheelie bin waste needs to be light and compactable as these are not designed for construction waste. As a guideline, the maximum weight in a 1100L wheelie bin should not exceed 75kg.

Due to weight restrictions the following bins are suitable for the following waste streams:

Bio/food waste can only be collected in 80L bins.
Glass can only be collected in 240L bins.

IMPORTANT THINGS TO KNOW

Do not overload your skip:

The waste must not exceed the top of the skips walls – otherwise it is illegal. If you have heavy materials to dispose of, such as soil or hardcore, you will need a skip between 2yards and 8yards as the larger skips cannot be lifted with these heavy materials.

Do not put the following in your skip or bin:

Fridges/Freezers
Tyres
Paint Cans
TV’s/Monitors
Asbestos
Clinical/Medical Waste
Fluorescent Tubes
Solvents
Liquids
Oil
Batteries
Plasterboard (max 10% of load)
Hazardous/Toxic Material
Large tree trunks

If you have any of the above, Donarbon can offer a service to dispose of them correctly and legally with an audit trail. If you are unsure if a material is suitable for a skip, please call our transport team on 01223 861010.
