    I'm trying to find where I can hire a small skip out for next week. I tried Barna & Greenstar but they only do large ones, costing over €250 a pop. I'd pay up to €150 at the most. Cheers.

    Cheers - I'll check that out. Sounds a bit odd though, being a yellow bag n' all!

    They look quite cool and very handy if you only have a small amount to get rid of!

    The missus maybe?



    Oh on topic... Ring "Men with a Van" he will take a load to the dump for you, at a good price. I think he advertises in the Weekender "Services" section. I used him for a few different removals etc, and he's great.

    Re; The missus - well that'd be nothing new!!

    Cheers for that Sueme... I've a fair bit to get rid of ... won't fit in the wheelie bins, but definitely doesn't warrant a big, pricey skip. It's mostly bits of left over plumbing, insulation & laminates. I'm sick of seeing them sitting against the back wall.

    Actually, come to think of it, I can hire a van from Noel Gordons for €90. I don't suppose anyone knows where the dump is & how much a van load would cost to offload there?

    Try "Men with a Van" first, he may do a van load (its v big) for much the same price.

    And for a 1/4 of the hassle methinks!

    The dump is down deepwater quay (Greenstar). Its down past NCF, Sligo Fuels and Hunters coal.

    The cost varys depending on the weight of what you are dumping. You will weigh in and weigh out, so my advise would be if you are dumping stuff - do it when its dry and the stuff is dry. That way you won't pay for the water in the stuff as well
