    Thanks, but for £120 we can get a gardener to do the work and take away the rubbish

    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!

    As luck would have it I got a flyer for this service in the post today

    We're planning to clear out some rooms, re-decorate, and oh everything else, but the amount of refuse we're generating is insane, so its time to hire a skip, or equivalent, can anyone tell me the best deal on getting one for Bangor?

    Hi,

    After some advice on skip hire. I'd say I have 2 large skip loads of hardcore ready to go at the front of my house. In the past I've hired a skip filled it within an hour and its sat there for a week.
    Are there any firms that pickup quicker and/or do a deal on 2+ loads. I literally could fill it twice in the same day and be done with it instead of having it drawn out for potentially 2 weeks.

    Cheers,
    John

    I'v e been told AceBates are very quick to collect wen called.
    I dont know about a deal for two loads in a day tho'.
    Isnt a lot of the cost involved now down to the chargees they company have to pay per ton of dumping material?

    My husband recommends Acebates or A1 Bates and used them last week with great service.
