Waste Battery Collection in Edinburgh: Batteries, including car batteries and household batteries, should not be placed in a skip due to the risk of leaks and environmental contamination, please contact us if you need waste batteries collected in Edinburgh.

Fluorescent Tube Disposal and Collection in Edinburgh: These contain small amounts of mercury and can be disposed of directly by contacting us by email.

Persistent Organic Pollutants (POPs) Regulations in Edinburgh: Persistent Organic Pollutants (POPs) are substances that endure in the environment for extended periods, posing significant risks if not properly disposed of. They accumulate in the fatty tissues of humans and wildlife, causing detrimental effects on both health and the environment.

Through extensive investigations, SEPA have confirmed the widespread presence of substantial quantities of POPs and other hazardous chemicals in the textiles and foam of waste upholstered domestic seating. These chemicals, formerly used as flame retardants, are now banned due to their harmful nature.

Regulations mandate the destruction of POPs in waste to prevent long-term environmental damage and potential harm to the food chain. This requires the incineration of waste containing POPs, prohibiting reuse, recycling, or landfilling. Most forms of treatment are also prohibited.

As a waste producer, it is your responsibility to ensure that waste is appropriately described and managed, both by you and any subsequent recipients.

Which waste items are affected? Waste upholstered domestic seating encompasses various household seating items, whether from households or businesses, that are considered waste. Examples include sofas, sofa beds, armchairs, kitchen and dining room chairs, stools, footstools, home office chairs, futons, beanbags, electric reclining chairs, floor and sofa cushions.

Items such as mattresses, curtains, carpets, blinds, and beds are not classified as POPs. However, additional costs may be incurred for their disposal.
​
Overloaded Skips: You may incur extra costs if the skips are above the legally permitted weight.

If you are unsure what type of waste can go in a skip and need advice from local Edinburgh skip hire experts, please contact Edinburgh Skips at 01312977679 or click here and send us an email.
