Just paid £130 for a builders skip.
9 out of 10 companies I contacted charged £130; one £150.
Seems expensive way of getting rid of a load of rubble, which will

In London we pay £157.50 (including VAT) for a 10 yard skip. The
company cheerfully tells customers over the phone that cash payments
do not incur VAT!
