Council Hire a Skip To Fill With Bras!

Hire a skip for Breast Cancer.

When Hertsmere council delivered a load of pinks skips to their community, they demanded the public fill it with one thing and one thing only: Bras.

In the end they collected a massive 17,193 bras that weighed over a tonne. Why the bra fetish? Well, the plan is to ship them over to under developed countries and give them out to the women who need them.They are also raising money for breast cancer.

Councillor Jean Heywood said, ”By recycling your bras not only will less waste be sent to landfill but women in poorer countries will benefit and you will be helping to fund research into breast cancer.”

Good on you guys. We may look a bit weird throwing a bagful of bras in to a skip, but if it’s for such a great cause, then we’ll have a rummage around our underwear drawers tonight!

Mark Attwood on the Chris Evans Show

Do you remember when Topskips.com founder Mark Attwood was interviewed on the Chris Evans show back in the summer of 2008? He was was on the show to talk about our trade magazine The Skip and skip hire in general and made Chris Evans hoot with laughter with all the stories he was relaying live on air.

Check out the interview here:

OK, we don’t expect you to remember everything, but I was talking to one of sales guys the other day who told me Chris Evans actually booked with us after the interview was over – it goes to show, once you start being funny and interesting (which Mark was) about a seemingly mundane subject, then you make you and your business memorable. Thanks for booking with us Chris Evans!

Skip Hire for Kids!

Domestic skip hire isn’t just for adults, you only have to check this chap with his waste dumper truck. It’s only a matter of years before we see him running a skip hire firm. If you’re after domestic skip hire – don’t call this kid just yet, I doubt he’s got a waste carriers license!

Skip Hire Walsall

One of our drivers was picking a skip hire Walsall up the other day and found that someone had dumped a load of, er, marital aids in the skip! The man who hired the skip swore blind he knew nothing about it, but there was something in his protests that made our driver think otherwise. He spared the man’s blushes and decide to take the load as it was. Battery operated devices aren’t particularly easy to get rid of, but it certainly provided a laugh in the yard when he got back!

Skip hire Coventry

When someone asked us for skip hire Coventry last week, we thought it’d completely straight forward, after all, Coventry is one of our busy areas. The driver set off, the weather was pretty ropy with all the snow fall but he thought he’d manage it.

Anyway, the address was down an old track heading to a farm, and – yes, you’ve guessed it – the driver got stuck in the snow. The weather was that bad, the 10 tonne truck got snowed in. The driver called the depot and we rang the farm to get them to get a tractor to tow it out. The driver was fine – he had his radio on, the heater blasting away and his sandwiches to keep him company!

Uh-oh!

We saw a funny picture of a skip hire disaster today that we thought we’d show you. Someone obviously had problems with the infrastructure of their front garden. Let’s hope they managed to sort it out with no further damage!
