Skip hire prices

[Adam]

Wow hiring a skip is pretty pricey, I remember the last one I hired was about £80 3 years ago but the cheapest I could find a 4 yard skip this time around was £125. Everywhere else was £150.

I imagine these are going up in price because of the cost of processing the waste and landfill or recyling it?

I thought £125 was pricey but I guess compared to the alternative of lugging 50m2 laminate and underlay, skirting boards, architraves, 3x radiators, 4x doors etc to the dump in my car it's probably not as bad as it seems. I imagine that would have taken me 3/4 trips in total.

Is your local waste centre a long way away then as that is only 2-3 trips worth that! I think i'd rather do that than waste £125 on a HippoBag but to each their own!

Maybe a mile or so but it's only small and when they change the containers it's not uncommon to sit there for 30 minutes at a time.

It's more the time it would take so being able to drop the rubbish in a skip outside the front door is very convenient.
