skip bag service from B&Q shop

banjobongo

I need to get rid of some rubbish from our house and I cant afford to hrie a skip, they are waaay to pricy these days. I see advertised in B&Q a skip bag that you buy, fill up at your own time and some company takes it away when yoyu are ready. Prices looks good. Has anybody else used thsi service, and if so, any problems with it, or is it as simple and cheap as it says on the tin?

I've never used it but I think the bag may be outside your house for a few days before collection, if this is the case who's respnsible for over filling if any of your neighbours decide to add more rubbish?

clean ireland have the baby skip maybe thats what you saw, you leave it as close to the road as possible and when you know you will have it filled just give them a ring and they come and take it,
when you buy it, there are no more costs unless you hinder them from removing it

There are guys advertising in the likes of the Limerick Post who will remove rubbish for you. Alot cheaper than hiring a skip and you can haggle the price with them. Just make sure that they have a valid licence to remove rubbish and don't just dump it somewhere else.

yep, seeing that almost every thing else in this country originate in China, may as well get a Chinese waste disposal firm as well

Skip Bags - a cost-effective alternative

The Skip Bag is a revolutionary, low cost alternative to traditional skips and are ideal for even building waste!
Skip Bags are the new alternative and flexible way of hiring a waste Skip.
Made from strong woven plastic fabrics, the Skip Bags are designed to hold 1000kg –1500kg of DIY building or garden waste.
One of the main benefits of a Skip Bag is that the customer can load the waste into the skip at the time that suits them, for DIY projects this allows the skip to be filled over several weekends if required.
Then you simply phone the number on the Skip Bag to arrange collection.

SKIP BAG ADVANTAGES:
- No requirement for skip permits. The Skip Bag can be stored on your property until filled.
- Skip Bags come flat packed. No storage problems, so the Skip Bag is available to use at your convenience.
- Easy access. Skip Bags can be stored in driveways behind garden walls, the only requirement that they are within 4 meters of the roadway.
- They are lower cost than the equivalent steel skip.

Used them regularly when doing renovations at home recently and they are great. Can leave them in your garden as long as you want (until totally full) and then call them. They usual collect it within a few days without any hassle. Costs about €118 in total (bag and collection) and the big bags fits loads of stuff.

I used one myself in Newport. Took a bit of haggling to get them to go as far as Newport. Tried to claim I was living in the wrong county and therefore should not have been shopping in B&Q Limerick.

Swines! :mad:

There are different sizes obviously with different prices attached.

Ensure you pack up the bottom and then the sides nice and neatly so you can fit everything in. They say not to heap the skip because they will only take a certain amount but I put enough in that would need two bags and it was gone when I came home.

Great idea of a service.

My brother in Corbally once got those bags dropped on their doorstep for free. All they had to do was pay for collection.

From memory the medium bag was around €15

Hi,

My advice, use a company call www.skipbags.ie,

My reason, Well I rang A1 waste, who transfered me to another company, as they told me A1 waste was now owned by Panda waste. So I got transfered, and sweet jesus, the whole process from start to finish was a joke. I swear I had just entered a sketch from Little britian.

Me: Hi, I would like to order a skip bag

A1 waste: Wha!!!

Me : I would like to order a skip bag

A1 waste : Wha!!!

Me: I would like.....

A1 waste : €39, €65 or €99, cash!!

Me: Ok, Can you tell me what I cant put into the skip bag.

A1 waste : I'll tell you love, try looking at the website, and then get back to me,

And the f**kers hung up on me.


So then I contacted www.skipbags.ie, and not only did they look after me, and get me the skip bag, but when their delivery guy turned up with the bag, and he saw I had a broken foot and was on my own, he grabbed my rolled up carpet, and black bags, and filled my skip bag for me. It took him about 3 mins, but he didnt seem to mind.
Now I understand I didnt have a whole lot to be thrown out, and I had a broken foot, but the service was great.
