rubbish bins= skip?

Dyr

Odd question but: Will skip company's take domestic refuse? For example could I buy a skip bag and put rubbish bags in it?

The old man has wound with a load of rubbish bags in his garden after a mix up with the local authority and I want to get rid of it for him before christmas, will any skip hire companies take it?

Word to the wise:
If you do hire a skip, don't be suprised to wake up one morning and find it full of your neighbours rubbish.
Happened us twice and it's especially bad after Christmas with people trying to dump trees

Sorry, that doesn't realy answer your question but worth knowing. However, I'd say most people know this already

You can be also lucky though, sometimes travellers come and take some of the bulky stuff out.

The aim of these type of companies is to recycle ,your not suppose to put anything like household rubbish into it.
They're an effecient way of dealing with waste ,personally I try to make it as easy as possible for them.

Reminds me of an episode of "One foot in the grave". Victor ended up with a car in his skip - and a mattress in the car!:D

Why not delivery a car boot load or a car trailer load, to your local tip - quite reasonable rates. Domestic rubbish attracts vermin - move it asap as it builds up over the Christmas hols.

The "skip thing" happened to us when I was a kid. We got a skip delivered and, by the time we'd gone to the back of the house to get the first load of rubbish, somebody had lashed two full bin bags into it. They must have had them ready by the front door.

Anyway - OP - you can probably take the rubbish to the tip/recycling centre for a per bag charge. €7.50 per bag in Waterford.

Its e15 for as much rubbish as you can fit in a standard sized car at Ballymount in Dublin. And if you fold all the seats flat bar the drivers, that can be quite a bit!

Never had any problems putting household rubbish in a skip.

I also have never had a problem putting household rubbish in a skip. Skips are for rubbish thats what you have so get a skip. What else would the skip companies think you were getting a skip for.
