Budget skip hire: Cat abandonment ‘a sob story to end all sob stories’
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.
If you’re looking for budget skip hire without a cat inside, you’ve come to the right place.
Call 08445 60 77 10 to find out more.

Hiring a skip in Devon? Make sure you avoid a cat-astrophe
No doubt hiring a skip can be a rewarding process, but that didn’t stop staff at Foredowne Kennels being faced with a disaster of cata-strophic proportions.
They noticed a noise coming from a taped-up box inside a skip scheduled to meet the crusher.
After opening the flaps, staff were stunned to find Poppet the cat.
Local publication This Is Devon reported that the white moggy had been abandoned by its owner.
Happily, the cat received medical treatment and is expected to make a full recovery.
The rest of the skip’s contents didn’t live to tell the tale.

Things you can find in skips
Skips can contain valuable items – from computer parts to ornate furniture.
And for one north-east resident, a chance encounter 15 years ago saw his eyes light up – metaphorically with pound signs.
Steve Summers happened to find more than 30 original American wartime propaganda posters in a skip.
The items were stored in his father’s attic, but were recently put up for sale.
Boldon Auction Galleries in South Tyneside agreed to find bidders, with the posters given a price estimate of about £4,000.
According to JournalLive, auctioneer Giles Hodges said: “It is amazing what people will throw away from houses and offices.”
So, the next time you pass a skip, why not peek inside?

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!
