Cheapest way to get rid of 3tonnes of a garden

hawkelady

As the title suggests, is a skip the way to go? I was hoping to get rid of it for around €100 but I can't see that happening .. anyone have any other suggestions other than skips ? Thanks

I cant see you doing it for 100 . even in the country side it would cost that to get a local farmer to take it to fill a hole.


skip is probably the cheapest way or a few shovel fulls in the bin every week :eek:

The top 6 inches of the garden. Sod and topsoil

the_pen_turner

do you know any gardeners or landscapers , they might be doing a job and take it for small money. then just take the sod to the tip

how are you removing the soil from where it is. mini digger etc

hawkelady

Mini digger ,yeah

Many of the companies that hire mini diggers have a grab service and might do a deal for you. A skip for 3 ton of topsoil should cost about €160 so a skip may still end up as the cheapest option.

Skip or a few fabric skips, but you are not going to get rid of it for less then 200
