This is how much skip hire means to Leytonstone residents

If there’s any doubt about how much skip hire means to Leytonstone residents, news of a fly-tipping breach in the area could speak volumes.

A staff member at Waltham Forest Council was responsible for fly-tipping in someone’s skip, leading to an apology from the authority.

According to the East London and West Essex Guardian Series, builder Dale Oseman was shocked when he discovered boxes belonging to the council dumped in his container.

He was disappointed at the apparent hypocrisy, in light of high-profile anti-fly-tipping campaigns in the area.

It needn’t put you off skip hire in London, as the council happily collected the boxes on hearing the news.

High skip price in France leads to horse-drawn cart innovation

You might not believe it, but horse-drawn carts are helping many French towns with rubbish collection duties.

Officials in locations such as Perpignan have compared the typical skip price with the cost of hiring equines.

What did they find out?

Naturally, it was determined that waste collection should be carried out by horses.

Jean Baptiste, the mayor of Peyrestortes, told the Guardian that the town’s medieval street layout made it difficult to bring out vehicles and skips.

Roads would often be blocked off, much to the chagrin of irate neigh-bours.

Mr Baptiste extolled the virtues of the approach, explaining: “The exhaust smells have gone, the noise has gone, and instead we have the clip-clop of horses’ hooves.”

Prices of Skip Hire

So you’ve been shopping around for prices for skip hire, and to say they vary is putting it mildly.

You ring up one company and are quoted a price with no VAT, then you ring another company and it’s fifty quid more with VAT. So what do you do?

Think smart.

Don’t go with the cheapest skip price. Those type of deals normally end in disaster. A lot of cowboy companies promise the lowest prices – they also normally have the worst service. Go with the company you feel assured with, who asks question about your particular situation and who sound the most professional. If they are more expensive than the other lot – don’t worry. A couple of quid more is a lot better than having a festering skip on your private land for the next six months! Good luck!
