Why French citizens might be looking to rent a skip
Our friends across the channel might be keen to rent a skip in the days ahead.
Piles of uncollected rubbish are building in French towns and cities, following protests and strikes about plans to increase the minimum and full retirement age.
Refuse workers in locations such as Marseille (below) have taken action to show their displease at the proposals.
Cities from Paris to Lyon have drawn 3.5 million people onto the streets, according to the country’s unions.

Skip Cost – What Makes Up The Price You Pay?
We often get asked why skip costs are the way they are. A lot of people expect to pay peanuts for what is essentially an unglamorous but essential commodity. There’s a number of things in skip hire that make up the cost:
- Haulage
- Recycling costs
- Disposal costs
- Landfill tax
- Staff and drivers’ wages
- Plant hire costs
- Cost of the land that the business runs
- Fuel costs
- Administration
- Insurance
There’s definitely more to getting rid of rubbish thank meets the eye. For more advice on this, ring our skip experts at TopSkips.com on 08445 60 77 10.
