Skip Hire?

In the Belfast Area.

Anyone you can recommend?

We'll need it for a while and a fairly big one as there's lots to go in it.

I'd rather take a personal recommendation that just pick one, lol!

Thanks!

    Looking at £70 - £80 :eek:

    Any way you get someone with a trailer or van to help and take it to the council yard at Rathgael?

    Its expensive, isn't it.

    I don't know anyone with a trailer unfortunately, I got a flyer through the door ages ago advertising a service that would pick up fridges, furniture etc and dump it for you but I have lost it. Anyone out there know who i'm talking about?

    is it steves clearance or something ive seen something like that advertised in the Spectator.

    u could always hire a trailer about £12-15 and take it to the dump yourself ... providing you have a tow bar or course!

    I used a HippoBag when I was digging up my garden and getting rid of garden waste http://www.hippobag.co.uk/product/page.asp?nav=2

    The bags are quite big, thought it was ideal for the work I needed it for, however it could have been good if it was a little bigger. Not sure if they collect in Bangor, total cost was around £70 for the bag and collection.

    Skips were quite expensive in my region this is the reason why I got one of these.

    We just hired a skip (builders size) from IRS skip hire, based in Groomsport. They were the cheapest, we rang around. Came next day (saturday) and gave us an extra day free (to Wed) as we hadnt finished using it.

    Recently had to get a couple of skips. I think they were described as builder skips or medium sized and were £120 a pop from Ards (I thought it was a bit excessive .. but I am no expert on the price of skips.
