have you priced up the different options? i never really have that much rubbish so not priced up the different options, suppose it depends how far the tip is from where you are working also
Good idea Paul thanks
Any idea how much these can cost?

I havnt priced each option yet as i only got the ok for the job a couple of hours ago. I quoted though based on us going to the tip several times, but if i can reduce this that would be great.

Thanks Paul i will research this. I can imagine these skips hold around the same as a grab lorry? Or maybe even more?

Is burning on site an option Steve?
My tree guy sells all his chippings for biofuel, so it's worth him coming and chipping a load if it's big enough. Anything over one load (I've got a standard 8x5 trailer) and I call him in.
I pay him what I'd pay to the tip. I save the time, and he makes a bit extra from selling the chippings. It's a huge time saver for me; loading everything up, moving it, waiting for the weighbridge, unloading it again, then driving back to repeat the process!

For that reason we now use multli-vegatation chipper/shredders, which are specifically designed for processing green waste. We now process all green waste at site or back at yatd into our skip. They have both blades and flail hammers on the drum ( if you search the forum you will find a links to what we use I in a previous post/thread. Ours are Saleen Cougars - a French make ..common theme that given best mowers are etesia ...): http://www.ts-industrie.eu/product-ranges/multi-vegetation-concept/
We can process amazing amounts per hour with these smallish machines with the benefit that the output is 'shredded' and thus composts quicker.
I don't know if you have anyone you can hire one from ?
Prior to that we used RORO waste containers ~ 20m3 and/or Grabber service ( good operator will help by squashing down waste as he loads it). Can't remember costs but it's a two dimensional charge 1 - for initial delivery, 2 - weighbridge wt.
Would agree trailering it around is costly in your time and fuel unless you are next door to waste point. Also, gate charges around here mean it is uneconomical as you can't take enough in one trip.
