There’s a certain parasitic business model of skip supply service that seeks to make money from waste disposal without actually getting their hands dirty or disposing of any waste! These brokers operate as ‘national’ services but hire local waste disposal companies to collect the actual rubbish, and they charge the customer extra to maintain their profits.
At WT Skips, we always encourage customers to come straight to us for their waste disposal needs, as doing so (rather than inadvertently hiring us through a broker) will save them money.
Here’s how to identify if you are hiring a genuine local waste disposal company. Take a look at the website. Do they have any kind of waste sorting yard? Do they have a Waste Carriers Licence displayed anywhere? If not, then chances are you are dealing with a broker and will pay extra. Red flags are any organisation claiming to be ‘National’ or a freephone telephone number!
We looked at one site where you could wind up paying £274 for a 6 yard garden waste skip. Coming straight to us for the same service you could save nearly £100 and get yourself a larger skip! (Our garden waste only 8 yard skips are currently £180).
Definitely something to bear in mind when you are shopping around for the best price. Using our services means you can guarantee that there are no middleman payments and all of your waste will be disposed of legally and responsibly.
