What sized skip?

sancho

Hey,

After finally getting rid of our greenhouse it's time to remove the base.

The base is 10ft by 8ft and about 8 inches deep (from what I can see) - I will need a skip to get rid of it all but wondering what size I will need, a local place has a 4 yard one and a 6 yard one.

I think I have 1.5 cubic yards of concrete, but my head is hurting a little bit so that may be wrong.

Any help would be gratefully received.

You have approx 1.5 cubic metres of concrete before you break it up. A 4yd skip should be fine for this as its capacity is about 3.4m3

pka has done the maths , but I vote for a bigger one. You can always find more rubbish to fill a skip . Ps get a drop sided one , do you really want to lift all that concrete over the edge.

Spoke to the guy on the phone briefly and he said a smaller one doesn't have a ramp, next size up does. For the sake of £20 extra I think I would rather walk in with it.

I did say I'm sure I'd fill it with other stuff but he then said that would cost more. Just for concrete it would be £130, if I added other stuff it would be £170! Hope nobody else drops stuff in...

Think I'll go for the bigger one then.
