That's 27 cu m of rubbish. Around 5 large skips at umm £120 each?

I've not filled a skip for years - a grab wagon takes 16m3 (3 skips
worth) and charges me £160

Do you think that 27 cu m of excavated stuff would fit into two wagon
loads? How much does it bulk up when excavated?



A grab wagon won't dig ... so it all has to be loose & piled up for it to
pick up.

You sure a grab wagon can take 32m3 ... seems a lot to me.

some other options to consider ... mini digger, will fill skips nicely, self
drive and will dig it out as well as fill barrow or whatever.

for filling ... skip-loaders are useful ..... saves effort of barrowing up
planks.
I had SWMBO driving the skip loader, while I operated mini digger (3 tonne
ver)
