    This is what they emailed me , the bike and wood is not mine .

    That's overloaded I would say anyway even with you owe the driver €100 or remove stuff if you know your neighbours own some of that give it back to them or ask them for €100

    Refusing to take an overloaded skip is not extortion.

    Any damage caused by trying to drag it away to either the slip or the road is going to be extremely easily traced to you.

    A Neighbour is willing to “ drag it down the road out of the way”!!!! Ffs what kind of Neighbour’s have you .. and the fact you are considering that option says more about you !!
    Btw , I would not consider that skip overfull. Use the pallets to wall it up a little and ring the company again saying it’s sorted

    You haven't provided then with a properly loaded skip. They haven't done anything wrong

    You need to accept this and stop thinking of further ridiculous ideas around it

    Why did the local youth go to the bother of stealing pallets and not use them in the end?

    Looks like if you take the pallets and bike off it shouldn't stick out too much. Can you rearrange any of it to flatten it down more?

    Good question , they weren't in the skip when it was to be collected this morning so I don't know who filled up that much I cant blame neighbours but I would think them, I will flatten and sort what I can but more than likely it will be worse if the company cant collect it until Monday

    Just curious as to what you expect the skip driver to do? It IS overloaded in terms of the stability of the load and the potential for stuff to fall out, so is he just supposed to risk it because your neighbours dumped their stuff in it?
    He will have to get another lorry out to take the remainder or transfer it into a bigger skip and they shouldn't have to fit the bill for this. Imagine if everyone took the piss and did this - companies wouldn't be business!

    Waste companies have to comply with health and safety legislation or they are risk of losing their waste licence.

    (unfortunately a lot of people consider their neighbours skips to be fair game - which I why I always make sure that I am around until any of mine are collected)

    Even without the pallets it's overloaded. Gardai can stop and fine the skip driver with a dangerous overload.

    They won't take the chance.

    It’s an unstable load because you’re neighbors overfilled it and is now unsafe to handle.

    He'll lift it if he gets another 100 euro though.

    It's either overloaded or it's not.

    If I was in skip business I'd use enclosed walk in skips only. Collected when the door is shut.

    https://fieldfayreskipproducts.co.uk/web-cont1001/uploads/16-Yd-Walk-in-Enc-3-1-600x400.jpg

    They should ban open top skips, too dangerous.

    Will take the bicycle and timber out when I'm home, my partner said a neighbour is willing to drag it down the road with his jeep to get it out of the way but would that cause more harm than good ?

    That skip is seriously overloaded.

    Be prepared for damage to roadway if it's dragged anywhere. That may cost you a lot more than €100.

    He would have had to rearrange the load and properly secure it before he moved off, which is why he's charging €100. He wouldn't have lifted it like that no matter how much you gave him. His licence is at risk if he goes with that on the back of the wagon.

    If your neighbour drags it away from where the hire company dropped it, you are responsible for anything that happens as a result. The hire company will say they dropped it where you requested it. Though your neighbours added to it, it was while it was leased to you. It is overloaded, pay the excess or they will leave it there until you do and the local scrots will keep loading it up.

    How a jeep would drag this onto a public road is beyond me.

    My thoughts exactly, must be a right **** hole that neighbours are pulling stuff out of it and lighting fires not to mention throwing stuff into it, pay the 100 and be done with it

    The solution is simple - set fire to the skip. No harm done to the skip and the bulk will reduce.

    When I was a youngster, skips were piled high like a bonfire. When did these rag'n'bone men give a damn about safety? Just take the sh*t away and stop whinging.

    And if your license was at risk due to an accident arising from a dangerous load would your attitude be so cavalier, theres a set safety standard for a reason, the driver is correct, mandatory cpc training teaches drivers not to take these type of loads as it his job on the line

    Ya, they don't like you doing that. You can expect them to add another €100 to the bill if they catch you at that.

    Because there's too much in the skip, it can't be that hard for you to comprehend
