More and more people use Preston Council for skip hire – and it’s hard to find anywhere cheaper.
The man in charge, Duncan Coward, Head of Waste Management, said demand has been so high the council emptied internally-used skips to cope. He added: “It’s a good service, it’s efficient and in the skip world, it’s very cost-effective.”
The council has 90 skips at its Argyll Road depot, delivered and collected by Alan Brewer.
Alan, who’s worked with the council for more than 20 years, said: “We’re friendly, reliable, helpful, quick – and the cheapest.
If you ring, you usually get a skip next day, or even the same day.”
Charges are £285 for a builder’s eight-ton skip, £210 for a smaller, four-ton midi-skip, including VAT.
They are used for anything from building waste to house clearances – and the service is Monday to Saturday.
Skips can be kept for 7 to 10 days. If required longer, this can be arranged.
The council also offers keenly priced commercial wheelie bin collection and bulky waste collection for items like computers, fridges, TVs or tyres.
Preston city council area only.
