In this guide, we’ll discuss everything you need to know about managing domestic waste throughout Kingskerswell, Bovey Tracey and Bishopsteignton – from selecting the right skip and knowing what you can’t put in a skip.

Why Summer Is A Great Time For Domestic Projects
Summer isn’t just about BBQs and beach days – it’s also one of the best times to tackle those home and garden jobs you’ve been putting off. Here’s why it’s the ideal season for domestic waste removal:
- Outdoor cleanups: Summer is the season when gardens and outdoor areas demand the most attention. From grass cutting and hedge trimming to old garden furniture or broken tools, the build-up of outdoor waste can be significant. With dry ground and fewer weather disruptions, it’s the best time to get your garden back in shape
- Longer days and warmer weather: Extended daylight hours mean you can work on your project later into the evening without feeling rushed. The consistent dry weather also reduces delays and makes skip loading easier and safer, no slipping on wet paths or having soggy rubbish to deal with
- Increased home activity: With the kids home from school and more social events on the calendar, summer naturally leads to extra household waste
Where Our Newton Abbot Waste Clearance Comes In…
From much-needed home upgrades to long-overdue garden clean-ups, these bigger domestic tasks often produce far more rubbish than expected. Our Newton Abbot-based team at Throw & Tow Eco Skips Ltd can help you with most common waste clearance projects, including:
Home renovation and DIY jobs
Thinking about refreshing your kitchen or bathroom? Do you have a list of DIY improvements that just keep growing? These kinds of projects usually generate a surprising amount of waste – tiles, old units, broken fittings, plasterboard, and endless packaging materials.
We offer same-day skip hire options, which are perfect for renovation waste. With quick turnaround times and local service throughout the area, you won’t be left waiting around while your hallway fills with debris.
Garden clearance and landscaping
From hedge trimmings to turf and soil, garden work creates a lot of green waste that needs clearing efficiently. Whether you’re replacing fencing, building a new patio, or reshaping your outdoor space entirely, garden waste removal should be part of your plan.
We regularly supply skips to Newton Abbot homeowners tackling landscaping and garden clearance projects. Our eco-friendly skips are perfect for tight spaces like long driveways or sloped gardens, and all of our skips are suitable for soil, branches, and bulky organic waste. For quick turnarounds, we offer a wait and load option – ideal when there’s no room to store a skip on your property.

Loft & shed clearouts
We all have that one space that’s become a dumping ground for years’ worth of “might need it someday” clutter. There’s no better feeling than opening up those dusty corners and reclaiming the space.
If you’ve decided it’s time to clear the garage, loft, or garden shed, our skips can handle everything from broken furniture and tools to cardboard boxes. With our fixed skip hire service, you’ll have a full 14-day hire period to sort, load, and clear at your own pace.
Need more time? No problem. We offer flexible extensions to suit your schedule, so there’s no need to rush your project or stress about deadlines.
No more multiple trips to the tip or trying to squeeze everything into the car – quick, easy, and handled by a local team that knows the area and your needs.
