Hello Matthew

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

Yes, but not by the skip company. Ring your local council and find out
how much they charge in landfill taxes.

what the government tells them to charge:

14.00 GBP per tonne.

But if it's all bricks/cement it's only 2 quid a tonne. But no-one's going to
saparate it and if the skip company ran an honesty system it's a certainty
someone would abuse it
