Popps

Domestic seating is now classed as hazardous waste due to the fire-retardant chemicals used to protect them from fires. Suppliers charge per item depending on the size of the item, for example, a settee or just a cushion. We can give you the prices for these if you do need to dispose of any.

If you overload your skip above the level load line you could incur additional charges, this may also include a wasted journey if the skip is not safe to take due to overloading.

Wasted Journeys

If your skip is blocked in, or overloaded, you may incur wasted journey fees. If you order a skip and there is not enough space for the skip to be sited this may also incur a wasted journey, we would always suggest checking your access before ordering.
