Skip hire recommendations in Sheffield - No advertising

Does anybody know of a cheap skip hire place around S5?

Mr Rubble. Try Them

Alternatively get this guy to take away your waste in his truck.

Thanks eveyone. My friend is now looking forward to a weekend of shifting rubbish!

Cheers!

ha ha

can anyone reccommend a good skip hire place please. Preferably one for a small skip that can be dropped off & picked up the same day.

Also, is there any rules on what is allowed in a skip?

I'm sure to get some dodgy replies to that, but hey ho

Well, we have put aspestos at the very bottom and then covered it with earth and got away with it. Can't reccommend - no experience with your local ones, obviousluy.

M & M Skip Hire, Baker Street, Attercliffe

Tel 0114 2611556

Used the loads of times whilst carrying out house refurbs, small to large skips, reasonable prices and reliable.

Hey can I have free skip next time for this plug, if M & M are reading this

I tried to get a skip just for one day, but no one seems to do it.

I did get a nice small 4 tonne skip from White Skip Hire, they were a little later then they said delivering it, but other then that i can’t fault them. Excellent service and a very good price.

About £40 for a week i think. I thought they did have a website but i can’t find. The number is 2338914

Alex,

I'm not saying this to start an argument but it's highly irresponsible of you to have disposed of asbestos like that.

Not only are there laws governing the disposal of such a substance, and what you did was probably illegal, but it is extremely thoughtless and with no regard for the person emptying the skip.

Three years ago I watched my granddad die from mesothelioma ( a form of lung cancer) and emphysema, as a direct result of his years of hard work in a factory handling asbestos. He contracted these years before the dangers were fully known.

I realise what you did was most likely in all innocence, but to you and anyone else, there are proper and legal ways to dispose of such a dangerous material.

If you are getting rid of asbestos you need a specialist companies, other then that some skip firms hire more for getting rid of certain waste, garden waste is cheaper while masonry is more expensive, i guess because of weight and space.

I think it is because aspestos is such a danger to the guys that need to dispose of it.

Isha,

I was sorry to hear of your Grandfather's death; however, yes we just chucked it in - well Brian the "lets get round it cheaply" guy he is knew damn well, that he had to cough up for a "professional" and said: "Oh no, you just chuck it in with the rest of the rubbish" (Garden waste, earth - convinently placed on top of the aspestos! and paving slabs). Another quick example of one of his "do it on the cheap schemes" was his windows had aspestos as the facia boards - oh well, I'll paint it....... no will ever know!

I imagine it was asbestos cement, in which case there is no excuse because you can bag it and take it to your local tip (within reason) as a householder.
