Your Complete Guide to Waste Management: From Booking a Skip to Disposal

Managing waste can feel overwhelming, whether it’s from a small home renovation, a garden overhaul, or a large-scale commercial build. But with the right approach (and the right partner), waste removal doesn’t have to be a headache.

In this guide, we’ll walk you through the complete waste management journey, from the moment you book a skip to the final stage of responsible disposal — all with help from a trusted waste management company like Penny’s Group.

Step 1: Identify the Type of Waste

The first step in waste management is understanding what kind of waste you’re dealing with. Different waste types require different handling and disposal methods. Common categories include:

  • Household/general waste (furniture, packaging, toys)
  • Green/garden waste (grass, branches, soil)
  • Construction waste (bricks, concrete, timber)
  • Hazardous waste (paint, chemicals, asbestos – not allowed in standard skips)

Knowing what you’re dealing with ensures you get the right skip and follow proper disposal regulations.

Step 2: Book a Skip That Fits Your Needs

Once you know your waste type, it’s time to book a skip. At Penny’s Group, booking online is quick and easy. Here’s how:

  1. Visit our Skip Hire page
  2. Choose a skip size (2-yard to 12-yard available)
  3. Enter your location and choose delivery/collection dates
  4. Confirm and pay securely online

Need your skip quickly? We offer next-day skip delivery in many areas.

Step 3: Prepare for Delivery

To make sure everything goes smoothly on delivery day:

  • Choose a flat, accessible surface for the skip
  • Ensure enough space for drop-off and collection vehicles
  • Check if you need a permit (required if placing the skip on public roads — we can help arrange this)

Our team can guide you if you’re unsure where the skip should go or whether a permit is necessary.

Step 4: Fill Your Skip Responsibly

Now that your skip is on-site, it’s time to get to work. But be mindful of how you load it:

  • ✅ Break down bulky items to save space
  • ✅ Keep hazardous materials out
  • ✅ Don’t overfill — skips must be level-loaded for safe transport
  • ✅ Distribute weight evenly

Not sure if something can go in the skip? Just ask our team — we’re happy to advise.

Step 5: Collection and Waste Disposal

When your skip is full (or your hire period is over), we’ll collect it and take it to a licensed waste transfer or recycling facility. As a certified waste management company, Penny’s Group ensures your waste is sorted, reused, recycled, or safely disposed of, with minimal environmental impact.

On average, 90% of skip waste is recycled, helping to reduce landfill and support sustainable practices.
