How to Dispose of Garden Waste
Short version: all of it can go in a skip, no surcharges, and a 3-yard skip handles most Yorkshire gardens.

Garden Waste Questions
Yes. Grass, hedge trimmings, branches, leaves and turf are all fine, and you can mix garden waste with household junk in the same skip. For a bigger landscaping job with turf and soil, our soil & rubble skips are built for it.
Yes. Soil, turf and earth are what our soil & rubble skips are for, and mixing soil with rubble, bricks or tiles in the same skip is fine. For a big dig or landscaping job, call us first and we’ll pick the size with you.
Book at least 24 hours ahead and pick a weekday, because we deliver Monday to Friday. We won’t promise same-day miracles like some firms, but when we say we’re coming, we come. Book a day or two ahead and you’ll get the delivery day you want.
Up to 14 days, included in the price. Most local firms give you 7, so with Tiger you get double the time to work at your own pace without paying more. If you need longer, ring us and we’ll arrange it.
Skips must be loaded level with the top. An overloaded skip is dangerous and illegal to transport, so we can’t collect it, and putting it right will cost you extra. If you’re worried it won’t all fit, ring us early. Going up a size or adding a second skip works out cheaper than an overload.
