I have just brought a rental property that has access problems.

I can get a lorry down a driveway to the side of the property, but as the driveway is in use by a company at the end, I can’t block the driveway. I have space for a skip next to the driveway at the back, but no way that a lorry can turn at all to load a skip.

I could have a skip on the road at the front, but then everything will need pushing up a steep driveway to get to the skip.

Ideal please….

The property is in Stockport and I wish to remove generally building rubbish so can’t use a grabber lorry.

Get a tracked dumper/barrow with high lift if it's fairly level left to right and load the skip on the road or just suck it up and carry it up the steep drive and chuck it in the skip.

Wright hire in Marple have them to hire if you want a tracked barrow.

Thanks for everyone’s help, I had a feeling this may be the case.

On a related subject, does anyone have a good source for sacks that are strong enough to cope with the remains of a lath and plaster ceilings as well as bricks? (Given the amount of rubbish in the front gardens along the road, I wish to minimise the time a skip is on site.)

It is shame that “Skip Bag� services are no expensive….

ringo the trick with lath ceiling is to knock the plaster off first and clear that with buckets

then take the laths down with claw hammers denailing as you go
the laths then get broken into roughly 500mm lengths and placed in rubble sacks

We burn the lath in a burner bin Tony. Give a teenager £20 a day to keep it going. Saves a fortune.
