🚨 PLEASE DON'T PUT LIQUID PAINT IN YOUR SKIP! 🎨🚫
Paint can cause serious problems when it gets into skips — from spills and contamination to risks for our staff, lorries, wildlife and the environment.
🐦 WILDLIFE – Paint can be harmful to animals and contaminate their habitats.
💧 DRAINS & WATERWAYS – Liquid paint can enter drainage systems and cause pollution.
🚛 LORRIES & EQUIPMENT – Paint can spill during loading, transport and tipping, causing mess, damage and expensive cleaning.
👷 PEOPLE – Paint can create health and safety risks for anyone handling the waste.
💷 CLEAR-UP FEES – Contaminated skips can require additional cleaning and disposal, which may result in extra charges.
✅ THE GOOD NEWS!
🪣 EMPTY PAINT TINS CAN GO IN OUR SKIPS.
If there is only a small amount of paint residue left in the tin, please mix it thoroughly with cat litter or sawdust and allow it to absorb/dry completely before putting the tin in the skip.
❌ NO LIQUID PAINT, OILS AND LIQUIDS PLEASE!
If you're unsure whether your paint or other waste can go into your skip, give Baldwin Skip Hire Ltd a call before putting it in.
♻️ A few minutes of care can prevent pollution, protect our staff and wildlife, and avoid unnecessary clean-up charges.
