Waste rubbish removal

Hia
We are nearing the end of ripping out our cottage which is undergoing serious renovation. When we moved in we had a lovely back yard - bigger then most. However, after four months of destruction, it is filled with rubble and old wood.

The Cottage is situated in an urban area and there is no space for a skip on the public highway and no access to the back yard for a skip as there is a workshop in it.

My question is, does anyone know if you can pay someone to come and take it all away? If so, any idea on prices? If it's more than a skip then we're in trouble!! If we try and run to the tip with it all in the car it could take us a few months working full time (well hubby as I am pregnant:o)

If anyone knows anything about this kind of dilemma I would appreciate ity. Cheers :-)
I'll have some cheese please, bob.

    Try your local paper or google. There are guys with small trucks that come and clear it for you. Normally there are 2 or 3 of them. They hand load everything and then drive it to the reclamation centres.

    Cost depends on how much you have in both volume and weight. A part loa d may be £60 but if they have to go 2 or 3 times, then it maybe £300.
    Eat vegetables and fear no creditors, rather than eat duck and hide.
  • There are lots of companies that will remove it for you but will be pricey. I got rubbish removed yesterday from my garden and it cost £190 inc vat.

    anyjunk.co.uk/ or junktruck.co.uk/ but lots online

    Or you can hire a skip and fill it yourself - huntskips.co.uk/ or topskips.com/

    Good luck :)
