Skip Hire Blog

We love it when we get emails like this today for our skip hire services:

"Hello
I just wanted to write and let you know how pleased I have been with your service to date. I have been dealing with Catherine from your sales (?) department and have been throughly impressed by how easy it is to work with your company. I have phoned a few times and changed times, dates etc and have always been treated with the same cheery demeanour.

Many thanks to Top Skips but importantly Catherine!

Regards,

Tracy Crowe

Well done to Catherine for keeping up our world class customer service ethics. Here's a picture of her taken today being shy as she was told the good news:

The news is simply that skip hire prices are going up - not because the industry is profiteering, but because of rising fuel costs and the recent announcement by the Government that landfill tax is rising by £8/tonne from 1st April to £32/tonne.

This means that skip hire prices across the country will be rising by between 10% and a whopping 35%!

Although we aim to recycle most of the waste we collect, this tax rise has an industry-wide effect on the waste management industry.

We don't like to report price rises, but we wanted to inform you of the price rises coming.

If you have any requirement for skip hire this year, you can beat the price rise by ordering your skips before April 1st.

You can, as always, do this online anytime using your credit/debit card on our safe and secure server, or by PayPal or Google Checkout at www.topskips.com

OR, just call our friendly team on 08000 82 10 82 and we'll do the rest.
