Need a medium sized skip to get rid of an ancient shed and some garden waste. Anyone have any recomendations, am in the Newtownabbey area. Would like it for about a week but don't know if they charge by the day/week etc? thanks

    I'm guessing you'll be talking minimum £100, since the waste regs came in a few years ago all the fees went up, they're supposed to give the DOE notice of delivering and collecting your waste which costs a minimum of £24 before they even leave the building

    Required a skip myself last year for an old shed and general junk from an attic clearout. The minimum price i could get a large skip for 1 day was £140:eek:

    1 lend of a sledge hammer and trailer later and 3 runs to the free coucil tip, problem solved;) at least I feel I got something for my rates last year:D:D:D
    I am trying, honest;) very trying according to my dear OH:rotfl:
  • Just chuck it all outside, sure Newtownabbey area is one big tip! ONLY JOKING .. Couldn't resist it!!
