As the extra bank holiday approaches this May, many of us are gearing up for much-needed home improvement projects. Whether you’re planning to clear out the loft, refurbish a room, or simply declutter your living space, it’s essential to consider how you’ll manage the waste generated. With our busy lives, finding an efficient and responsible waste disposal solution is paramount, and this is where Martlands Skip Hire comes into play. In this post, we’ll explore why responsible waste disposal matters during a decluttering project and how Martlands Skip Hire can help you navigate the extra bank holiday period smoothly.
Why responsible waste disposal matters during a decluttering project
Decluttering a home is as much about creating space as it is about safeguarding the environment. Responsible waste disposal should be at the forefront of your planning for several reasons:
- Environmental impact: Diverting waste from landfill through recycling and proper sorting reduces your ecological footprint and supports greener living.
- Health and safety: Proper waste management minimises trip hazards and clutter, making your space safer during renovations.
- Community considerations: Efficient disposal minimizes the volume of waste piling up on streets or in communal areas, maintaining a tidy neighbourhood.
- Compliance: Using a licensed waste carrier ensures you’re meeting legal requirements and avoiding penalties.
During a May bank holiday when demand for skip hire increases, proactive planning is essential. Booking your skip early guarantees you have the right size and type of skip for your project, reducing the risk of delays and extra trips to the tip.

Planning your declutter for the bank holiday
Before diving into your decluttering project this May bank holiday, it’s wise to create a plan. Here are some steps to consider:
- Assess what needs to go: Walk through each room and create a list of items you no longer need or use. This helps you stay organised and ensures nothing important is overlooked.
- Sort your items: Divide your items into categories, keep, donate, recycle, and dispose. Clear sorting streamlines the decluttering process and speeds up the overall project.
- Book your skip early: Given the extra bank holiday increases may skip hire demand significantly, booking early ensures you secure the size and type of skip you need. Procrastination can lead to disappointment, so it’s best to finalise your skip hire plan as soon as possible.
- Know what you can dispose of: Familiarise yourself with what can be placed in skips versus what cannot. This knowledge is essential to prevent last-minute surprises when loading your skip.
- Choosing the right size of skip: At Martlands Skip Hire, we offer various sizes tailored for different projects:
- 4-tonne midi skips: Ideal for smaller clearances such as garden waste or minor renovations.
- 8-tonne maxi skips: Great for larger jobs requiring more space, such as extensive refurbishments or significant household clearouts.
- The right size prevents excess rubbish lying around and avoids paying for unused space.
Prohibited items in skips
While we can accommodate almost any type of waste from your decluttering project, there are certain items that cannot be placed in skips due to safety regulations and environmental concerns, such as:
- Hazardous materials (chemicals)
- Electrical appliances
- Asbestos
- Batteries
- Tyres
If you’re unsure whether an item can go into a skip, don’t hesitate to contact our office at 01704 779345. Our team is happy to assist with any questions regarding waste disposal or recycling matters.
