Skip company refusing to collect skip

dubstarr

Got a skip 2 weeks ago to be kept for 5 days.Never collected it.Rang a few times last week.Supposed to be out to collect it.Rang this morning,out they come but they refused saying the skip was too high.

I filled the skip wiht bushes and trees and light wooden trellis.Which was bulky but lightweight.

They turned up this morning to take the skip but there was another full skip already on the back of the lorry.They said the net wouldnt cover it.Except he never tried.He walked around the skip a few times and dropped us in a note.

Has anyone resolved a problem like this with the skip hire place.

You take stuff out of the skip and book a second one.

Quandary

Take the trellis and tree branches out, cut them into short pieces and repack the skip. We r3cently got a skip for almost an identical job and we end3d up cutting up everything and managed to pack in a huge amount of waste.

The thing is though some of the crap on the skip doesnt belong to us.I had to take 2 mattresses down off it already.

If they had collected last week like they where supposed to,it wouldnt have got that high.

While it's in your possession the contents are your responsibility.

Although you wouldn't guess it in this country technically the waste in a skip should be level with the sides and no higher.

You can bet they wouldn't chance this approach with any construction site as they'd lose the custom.
