Sort your wastes. Once you have identified the rubbish that you need to dispose of, separate it according to the classification types. It will make the disposal process much easier.

Maximise your skip bin load. Place heavier items at the bottom of your skip bin. Break down furniture before loading it and don’t leave gaping holes in between.
