hughm · 29-01-2007 12:28pm #1

Hi, can anyone advise who is the cheapest for a Midi Skip (8ft x 4ft x 3ft) in the Dublin area.

Thanks

manicmonday · 02-04-2007 10:24am

Hugh,
Been getting quotes for a midi-skip for a easterspring clean - rang 10 diff co's - all quoting the same price! €200...I am cyncial but is that not price fixing?? I sent an enquiry to the Compeition Authority....

John Mason · 02-04-2007 1:21pm

i got one last week from A1 for €141 but they left it for week until i phoned them up and bollo.xed them out of it. i see greenstar are now advertising €130.00 at the moment

rockdrummer · 02-04-2007 1:25pm

go to the booking form, and in the drop down list of available skip sizes, it'll tell you the price.

rockdrummer · 02-04-2007 2:34pm

ahh good man, so it is? Cheers

hughm · 08-04-2007 10:13am

All the skip hire co.s I phoned for a Midi Skip were about the €200 mark.

I eventually went with A1 using their internet booking for about €170.

crosstownk · 08-04-2007 11:42pm

Yeah I've used A1 myself. They are not the cheapest but they deliver and collect on time. When you've a skip in the driveway, prompt collection and delivey is important.

rockdrummer · 12-04-2007 7:24am

I used Greenstar over weekend for midi - cost €190 ! Delivered on Sat, was supposed to collect on Wed but rang them on Tuesday morning asking if they could collect today. They said the earliest was Wed, however at about 5pm on Tuesday the guy arrived and collected it !!

PDS · 25-04-2007 10:02pm

I heard an advertisment for the pacon waste and recycling on the radio. it was garaunteed for

next day delivery or next day collection

. I decided to give them a try. The skip I order was a stadard at a cost of €295 which after pricing around i found to be the cheapest. The drivers were very professional and the services was as described.
I just like to thank all of the people I dealt with.
So if anyone is interested I would highly recomend them.
There number is ; 01-8417000

Must admit never heard of this company so would be interested to know, what range of skip sizes are available, and what areas are serviced.

€ 295 is definitely competitive but not cheapest. Also what happens when company are late with (a) delivery and/or (b) collection?

€185 for a Midi Skip (4 CY) for 2 days!

ThomasH · 08-06-2007 10:55am

Sorry to hijack this thread but any skip companies in County Kildare?

Kathy_BBBA · 19-06-2007 1:20pm

I just got a price of euro350.00 euro for a 6cu ft skip and euro500.00 for a 12cu ft from one company in Kilkenny county and another company quoted me 350 for 6cu ft and 450.00 for 12 cu ft :mad:

Anyone know a cheap skip hire in Kilkenny County?

I got rid of a load of Top Soil this way, €15 per trailer load in Baleally Dump in North County Dublin, that price was for a single axle trailer and might cost more for a bigger trailer.

Well me and my housemates are having a bit of trouble. See our landlords a bastard and he didn't give us bin stickers til like 2 weeks ago...we've been living there since september!We now have a vast quantity of smelly bin bags in our garage and no way of disposing of them quickly. Being students and on a budget we can't really afford a skip, unless there's one out there in the Maynooth area for roughly 80euro which I seriously doubt there is... Does anybody know if there's anything/anybody out there who we can pay to collect our rubbish? None of us have cars and I'm guessing a taxi won't appreciate several runs to a dump with 20 mouldy bin bags in his boot. Please help. We don't want rats!

Hi there,

I recently used BlanchWaste Skip hire. They seem to be new and eager to please. Good rates and fast drop off and collection.

themicklad · 29-11-2007 4:39pm

hi all ,im new here so heres my bit of info on this..im a small to mid size builder ive been around a bit so i know all the skip companies in dublin ..most i have to say provide a bad service (my opinion)..for last number of months i have been using a company called m&m skip hire ..and for service they wont be bet ,ther prices are about equal to the others maybe some cases a little cheaper but i think you pay for what you get ..and in my business its service and availability is what i need ..so i think m&m skip hire are worth a call ..

ps ..i think there based in co dublin

indigoman · 11-12-2007 12:55pm

I don't think many small to medium size builders would leave a comment about any skip hire companies. I think Micklad is trying to promote a small to medium size skip Hire Company, which is bad cheap advertising. Looking at M and Ms website it does not look very profesional.

themicklad · 22-12-2007 4:03pm

indigoman ..you dont think a builder wouldn leave comments about a skip company ..well how thick are you ? what is this board for ? i will leave a comment good bad or indifferent...

ps if your looking for a good builder call me p&b builders

indigoman · 11-02-2008 12:28pm

It says M&M skip hire is one of the largest in the country but yet their contact address is a bed room in a north county dublin council estate. Sounds dodgy to me.................... Touch of the John Wayne going on there.

Need a skip for saturday 30th may, 20 ft job

Peleus · 06-08-2009 2:11pm

what are the prices for skips nowadays. for the regular six cubic yard ones? I have a load of wood to get rid of. any way other than a skip to do that??? Is there a way to recycle it like maybe hiring a wood chipper?

Hell Toupee · 07-08-2009 12:01am

Thorntons have an on-line booking site with a 5% discount
The 6cu yd skip is €210 so with the discount you get out for under €200

Hell Toupee · 07-08-2009 12:04am

By the way some put a load of wood up on adverts.ie as a freebie a few weeks ago and it was snapped up !!

If this info is of any use to anyone, I rented a 12t roro skip from A1 Waste over the weekend in Naas. At ?395 they were the cheapest quoted, and delivered and collected on time. No hassles.

Just rented a midi skip from A1 for 130 (originally quoted 170 - said that's not what the flyer said).

dubbish · 25-08-2009 11:11am

Having terrible experience with A1 at the moment. They delivered skip okay and on time but were due to collect it six days ago. They have been rang every day since and have promised collection 'this afternoon' or 'before 11 saturday', then 'before 2pm saturday'. 2pm saturday, no sign of the truck so we call again and again only to be put on hold for 20 mins+ and never actually getting to speak to an operator. Called them once again this morning (tuesday) and the operator couldn't seem to find our order in the system at all. Cowboys.

garyseo · 04-09-2010 1:52pm

Three in a row, well done.

Is this what passes for SEO these days Gary?

Phibsboro · 30-10-2010 11:14am

I know this thread has spanned a few years at this stage but I suspect a lot of people use it as a guide having found it in search. I did exactly that last week and based on the feedback ordered a skip from Thorntons - and they were excellent

I only wanted it for two days - load on Thursday out by Friday (even with that I had an extra suitcase and a rather large standard lamp added by my neighbours!). I ordered online on the weds and tbh I wasn't overly hopeful of the whole thing working out. But sure enough I had a knock on my door the next morning and it was the driver apologising for being early :P (i'd asked for a PM delivery and an AM take away). The next day it was taken away without me having to call to remind them.

So, definitely a +1 for thorntons.

paddy147 · 30-10-2010 11:29am

Thats "A-Plus" Sharron..............................to quote that stupid radio ad.:rolleyes:

Wouldnt use them,as they took forever (over a week) to come back and collect my neighbours skip,which was also just dumped half way accross my driveway entrance by the skip lorry driver.:mad:

My neighbour was embarrassed and appoligetic to me,and also very angry at the way the skip was just "dumped" off by the driver.

You should be banned,as its so clear what you are doing.:mad:

flori ciobanu · 06-01-2011 12:09pm

hi got a skip from Aplus skips they cover all dublin cant be beaten on price 2.5 mini 79 4 midi 119 6 standard 169 service first class

Grawns · 07-01-2011 1:01pm

I need a skip and won't be looking at aplus after all the "rubbish" posted here

Johnab · 13-06-2011 10:54am

Hi

There are many skip hire companies running successfully these days due to not proper collection of waste by the local council people. Every skip hire company is providing various facilities to make the client free from the stress. Just hire the one which is near by you as it will cost you less. If you go for the which is far that will finally end up you paying more.

I used ASAP Waste recently, as one of the guys is a brother of a friend.

They have prices on their site, but will knock a few quid off if you ask.

macmansion · 31-07-2011 3:39pm

I have had a really terrible experience with skips in the past - especially getting them collected which can be a nightmare.

This week I used paylessskiphire.ie - they were fantastic: the skip was delivered and collected exactly on time (even went away for an hour when I wasn't quite ready in time), the price was good, and all done with a smile.
Most importanty they inspired confidence that everything would go smoothly from the first phone call - I really recommend them.

cammag · 19-08-2011 12:24pm

Having read MacMansion's posting here, I too rang payless and am very glad I did so.

The lady who I spoke to on the phone was very helpful, the price was the best around and the service was excellent.

The skip was delivered by a very pleasant chap who adds to the overall impression that this company gives its customers a top class service, at the right price and all with a smile, exactly as the previous posting said.

Thanks MacMansions for the info, which I fully echo.

I need to hire a medium size skip for paper waste only, it is mostly old magazines but I would like them to be recycled. Does anyone know of a company who provide these. I am in Dublin 8.

Thanks
