skip prices for soil

Tom Woods · 2007-02-22T01:09:35+00:00

I have a lot of surplus soil in my garden which i want to get rid of.I have been starting to get prices for a skip, but was surprised thatall the companies i have tried so far dont seem to care what i amputting in it.I would have thought that a skip full of soil should cost a lot lessto remove than a skip full of mixed rubbish. My soil can just bedumped elsewhere if it is needed whereas mixed rubbish needs to besorted and recycled and so on.Am i expecting too much or do i need to try some different companiesthat specialise in removing soil?I am only talking 3 m^3 / 4 cu yards worth of soil at the moment, buthave another similar amount i also intent to dig out (and i can dothis sooner if it makes things cheaper)

You can advertise any old junk and somone will want it.

The amazing thing is that somone will often offer the required item. Their free choice, if you don't like it, just ignore the request.

Dig a hole elsewhere in the garden and dump it in that?

You're lucky :-(

I'm always the nth person to ask for anything on mine and so far I have collected nothing.
