⚠️ Not everything belongs in a skip ⚠️

Some waste is classed as hazardous and needs specialist handling to keep people and the environment safe.

Items like asbestos, paints, batteries and gas cylinders must never be placed in a general skip — and it’s a legal requirement to dispose of them correctly.

Not sure about an item? Just ask. We’re here to help.

♻️ Responsible waste disposal starts with the right advice.

💡 Big Energy Saving Week | 17–23 January

Saving energy isn’t just about what happens inside our homes and businesses — it’s also about what happens after waste is collected.

Responsible waste management helps reduce energy use by:
• Recycling materials instead of making new ones
• Cutting landfill emissions
• Recovering energy from non-recyclable waste
• Supporting a circular economy here in Scotland

If your business wants to play its part in building a more energy-efficient Scotland in 2026 and beyond, DOW can help — with practical, responsible waste solutions tailored to Scottish businesses.

If you’re planning a clear-out, renovation, or garden tidy-up, now’s a great time to act.

Thinking of using a cheap waste carrier? It might cost more than you think. 💸

At this time of year, fly-tipping tends to rise — and unlicensed collectors often cut corners, dump waste illegally, or leave customers facing unexpected fines.

Choose a fully licensed operator you can trust.
