Reply to: How to rid of skip?

[Sysman]

Just to note: they are not obliged to take it full & can request it to be emptied prior to collection, or you can agree to pay thier standard rate which should be around £250 for a 8 yard skip

At £250 it's quite possible that the 400 represents an unpaid bill of 250 plus admin and possibly court costs. They will probably be happy with 250 to collect the full skip.

This is the kind of deal I would expect the CAB to cut, and the OP should use the CAB if the skip company won't play ball.

I just knew that someone somewhere would have been sad enough to write a Yards to Cubits (Greek) Conversion Calculator

1 yard = 1.975850714 (Greek) cubits.

So a cubic yard is approximately 8 cubic cubits.

So we have a 64 Cubic cubit skip!

Cubic cubits does have a certain ring to it.

How else would they attach the Lewis to the blocks of stone?

King Solomon's Temple was measured in Cubits - if it's good enough for Hiram Abiff then it's good enough for me!

Sorry to tell you but the construction industry is a bit dated, skips are in yards & alloy towrs are in feet on plan & meters on height, trad scaffolding is in feet, system scaff is in meters
Drawings are in mill & we all hate centimeters

Tis great fun

Legally you can not sell it or get rid of it until you have given the owner a chace to collect.

The skip company is trying it one: you have no contract with them.

Write to them staing the above & send it recorded, give them 28 days form reciving the letter to contact you & arrange collection.

Just to note: they are not obliged to take it full & can request it to be emptied prior to collection, or you can agree to pay thier standard rate which should be around £250 for a 8 yard skip

Tell the skip company they have 28 days to remove their skip - failing that you'll sell the skip to another skip company for the amount it would cost to dispose of its contents.

Simples.

+1 and put it on ebay.

Yet you hired him? Did you do any checks/references? Or was he just the cheapest?

Looks like there may have been a lesson learnt here. I'll be fcked if I can work out what it is though!
