Default SkipBag

Hello,
I have some soil that I wish to get rid of. I see there is something

called
SkipBag which costs around £8 for the bag and £35 for disposal. It takes 1
tonne of waste and the bag is roughly 3' square. It should be sufficent

for
the smallish amount I have.
Has anybody else used one? If so how have you found using one?

These things are free nowadays, since the builders merchants deliver them on
a non-returnable basis. When they were first in use there was a £25 deposit
on them! Find someone having some work done and they'll probably give/lend
you a bag. Don't know about the disposal side of things, around here
landfill charges are running at £55/tonne for trade waste, although inert
materials like soil should be a lot less. Be careful your bloke isn't fly
tipping or you could be in trouble.

Oh, and don't expect to pick it up when you've filled it!

HTH
