How to Dispose of Soil & Rubble
Short version: it all goes in, but weight is the limit rather than space, which means a smaller skip rather than a bigger one.
Which Skip Size?
Soil and rubble are heavy, so the small skips are the right ones here.

Stay at 4 yards or under for heavy loads. A part-filled small skip is safer than an overloaded big one.

Soil & Rubble Questions
Because weight runs out long before space does. A big skip full of rubble is too heavy to lift safely and too heavy for the road, so we would rather put a small one on your drive and take it away full than leave you with a big one you can only half fill.
Yes. Rubble, bricks, tiles, soil and turf can all go in the same skip, and you can mix them with general household and garden waste too. Plasterboard is the one thing that has to be kept separate, because the law doesn’t allow it to be landfilled with mixed rubbish.
Yes. Turf, soil and earth are what our soil & rubble skips are for, and there’s no need to strip the turf off first. For a big dig or landscaping job, call us 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.
