Think £130 is about as cheap as you're going to get these days , thats what I pay and I have a few . Don't forget the landfill tax has just gone up again

We got a 6 tonne skip thru this company for only £115 including road permit. Was pretty much the cheapest of several I tried. Given 'em a go.

I've gone with this company, must have gone up as it's now £125.....better than £140 though

We have skip outside at the moment which rest of the street seems to think is free so do they win the challenge?

I rang Terrys skips yesterday, they didn't seem keen to deliver to Sheffield, said they'd check and phone back, but didn't ring. Time wasters.

Also why before they give you a price do they ask which particular area? and why would it be much cheaper in one than another?

Maybe they have to deliver and retrieve it, then take it to the nearest landfill site to where you live?

I'd assume thats all taken into account when pricing up.
