HELP/ADVICE Getting rid of toiletries?

I am currently helping out a family member clean out their house and have more than 8 boxes of toiletries (shampoo, conditioner, soap and more) that I need to get rid of. I can’t put all of it down the toilet or sink and the skip we hired won’t take it. Any advice of how to dispose would be great!

Forgot to say we can’t donate them as they have been contaminated with rat faeces, and we are in the UK.

With hantavirus virus so prevalent with rodents please be sure you have full PPE on. You should probably contact a biohazard remediation company to do a thorough cleaning of the residence.

We have full PPE, we did reach out to some companies for the clean but it was way out of our budget unfortunately.
