Skip bags – A skip alternative
So, you’ve finally got around to clearing out the garage or tidying up the garden and now you are panicking about how you’ll get rid of all this stuff!
Your first thought is to get a skip but then you realise:
- Your driveway is narrow or is awkward to access
- You haven’t got a skip permit and are worried about how long it will take
- There’s a lot of waste to get rid of but maybe not as much as skip load
So, what’s the alternative… a skip bag.
- No permit needed
- Easy to store (as it’s flat packed) and lightweight
- Can be left by the front of the house for easy removal
- You can choose your size, small, medium, or large depending on your load
