⚠ Asbestos — prior approval required

KDR is licensed to handle approved asbestos waste. Asbestos work must be discussed with our team before booking so that the correct handling, transport and disposal requirements can be confirmed.

Asbestos must never be placed in a standard general-waste skip bin. It is only accepted as a dedicated, bagged unit (see Waste Types) or as part of a rubbish-removal job that KDR has confirmed in advance.

Why the waste type matters

The waste type you choose does two things: it sets the price for that bin size, and it decides which sizes you can book at all. Not every type is offered in every bin.

It also sets what can legitimately go in. A green-waste bin is for vegetation only, and a bricks-and-concrete bin is for clean material — putting general rubbish in either means the load is no longer that waste type. If your load genuinely mixes materials, general household or building waste is usually the honest choice, even where a cleaner category looks cheaper.

General Household Waste
Every bin size, 2m³ to 25m³
Building & Construction Waste
Every bin size, 2m³ to 25m³
Green Waste
Every bin size, 2m³ to 25m³
Bricks & Concrete
Available in 2m³, 3m³, 8m³, 10m³, 12m³, 15m³
Roof Tiles
Available in 12m³, 15m³

Bagged asbestos sits outside this table: it is hired as a dedicated bagged unit by prior arrangement with KDR, not as one of the standard bins above. If the size you want is not offered for your waste type, call KDR rather than booking a type that does not match the load.

Matching waste to the right bin

Each waste type is priced differently and some are only offered in certain bin sizes, so read how skip bin hire works and compare skip bin sizes and prices alongside this page. If you are unsure whether a specific item is allowed, our guide to whether a specific item is accepted covers it, and the guide to choosing a size for your job helps if you are between two bins. Mixed loads that would need sorting are often better suited to rubbish removal — see how the two services compare.
