Anybody ever used these instead of a skip? Down here the cost of skip hire is astronomical, typically around £150 for a small 2 cubic meter skip and the cost depends on supply and demand for them so can be higher. Hippo are currently doing a deal which is around half the cost of a skip. Need one to clear building debris from bathroom project so it will be old tiles, bit of plaster board, floor covering, toilet and cystern and wash basin. No bath as it's currently a wet room to be converted. Any advice/ recommendations welcome. I would dispose of it myself down local tip but they charge £3.50 a 20kg bag for tiles, old plaster and building rubble. I have around 24 square meters of old tiles to dispose of so that would be very expensive way to do it.

Hippo are a rip off
I buy the bags or get free ones from builders yard and pay a local skip guy to take them
What's in them depends on cost
Rubble and earth a farmer will take them free or for a little charge as he can use them for his tracks

Never heard of them, Lawrie, but if you register with your local Freecycle website you often see people advertising quantities of this sort of stuff as up for grabs or wanted as hardcore/fill-in material; I gather you just have to advertise that anyone wanting it should collect it from you, come in a suitable vehicle and load it themselves, etc. |

Never heard of them, I thought it was going to be about human waste bags.
