A cat called Shandy and her young kitten have been found abandoned in – you guessed it – a skip.

But this isn’t just a typical sob story, because luckily the little baby has been re-housed, while Shandy waits with bated breath for the foster home of her dreams.

According to the New Rochelle Patch, the moggies were placed in a cardboard box that had been put in a rubbish container.

What could be more glamorous than a spot of skip hire in Wilmslow?

The area is continuing to attract a range of stylish boutiques along its main thoroughfares.

Retailers such as Joules and Black White Denim are the latest stores to arrive in the neighbourhood, according to The Business Desk.

But aside from bolstering their fabulous wardrobes, there are plenty of other ways in which Wilmslow residents can enjoy a glamorous lifestyle.

Skip hire, of course, is at the top of this list.

It appears that skip hire in Chester is at the forefront of many people’s minds.

Students in the city recently rolled up their sleeves and helped pick up rubbish from yards and alleyways, according to a report in the Chester Chronicle.

It was led by Richard Lowe, a city councillor, who was quoted as saying: “This showed that not only do students care, but that they are valued by their community.”

A skip and a van were recruited as part of the initiative, which might be the catalyst for those in the north-west to carry out a similar recycling drive.

In the run-up to the annual Bonfire Night festivities on November 5^th, how can you ensure the maximum possible safety in your neighbourhood?

Those seeking skips for hire might want to get their orders in early, giving plenty of time to organise a hassle-free event.

Indeed, councils across the UK are asking residents to avoid passing unwanted items onto youths looking to set fires.

Instead, many towns are distributing community skips that can be filled with piles of rubbish.

This way, revellers can sit back and enjoy the extravaganza in style this year.

We had a call from a customer of ours who had ordered mini skip hire and was undertaking some work in the garden. The next morning, she was carrying on the job when she found a tabby cat mewing. She went over to the skip and there was mother cat and three new born kittens. She scooped them all up and put them in a basket in the airing cupboard with some milk and food.

The cats were all OK, just a bit cold and they’ve now gone to a good home, but it was the last thing she expected to get when she ordered a mini skip from us!

Mini Skips are great for those domestic jobs where you have just that little bit too much to take to the tip yourself. They are great for garden work when you’re shifting soil (they hold around two tonnes of soil) or if you’re clearing the spare room.

Just chuck the soil into your mini skip and then we collect and recycle! Easy peasy.

A frequent request at Topskips is for mini skip hire prices, which is interesting in that most enquirieis we get are from people who don’t actually know what size a mini skip is – but the phrase “mini skip” has entered the vocabulary in much the same way as “mini cab” relates to private hire taxis, especially in the London region.
In the skip hire industry a “mini skip” is actually a very small skip of about 2 cubic yard capacity. Ironically, very few of these are available in London for skip hire, where the 4,6 and 8 cubic yard “midi skip” and small and large “builders skip” are far more common.
