And is it 'on' to increase the sides of the skip with board

filling?

My experience.

If what you are putting in the skip is general rubbish, mixed,
some
bricks, some rubble, some soil, old kitchen units etc. then the
load
won't be any where near the maximum for the skip which is built
for
compacted bricks, clay, rubble or concrete. In these
circumstances
a
reasonable amount of building up the ends to match the sides and
a
little
amount of side build up will probably be OK, especially for the
smaller
mini and standard skips.
The large 12m³ skips should not be 'enhanced' as they are near
the
size
capacity of the truck.

As it 'appens we've ordered a skip for a small job out in the
sticks
tomorrow. Price quoted, 4 yard one, inc VAT is 55 quid but thats
only
concrete and brick rubble.

Chuck one bit of wood in there and the price goes up to a
whopping
115
quid!..

Anyone had this quoted?..

At what height would you cease to be happy to drive behind it in an

car?



All the ones I see these days are either netted or sheeted when
driving.
