skips round here are now £160 + vat for a 6yder, and grab lorires are about £300
Just dropped my crusher off to a builder for a days hire locally. He's doing an extension, and has over a skip full of hardcore which he wants to crush for his oversite.
He was quoted £300 to take the rubble away (along with a still standing gable end which has to come out), and £300 for crushed to come back in
He reckons he will have saved nearly £400 by the time he's finished by crushing on site.
the more skips go up, the better for me!

I can get a tractor and trailer to take away more or less anything for about £6 per tonne.

having just had 20t of type 1 crushed concrete, which I seriously considered sending back, they should have needed a waste carrier license to deliver it!! I'm thinking of starting my own waste transfer site using Dan's Crusher, i think more builders/landscapers need to wake to on site recycling, skip prices and quality of material that can be produced really do sell these things them self. If they can just make a decent mobile screener i'd have one of those as well!!!

They aren't farmers with the tractor and trailer but they do dump on a farm

I'm sure the crusher thing can only expand - especially the small one's that get thru the alley on the side of normal semi.
Can't wait for Dan to announce he's just bought his first Roller !
ps - we have Victorian brick-built 1m diameter shaft here - am told the farmer here before us, used to chuck the stillborn piglets down it, followed by a bag of lime....
am slowly digging all this crap out - getting deeper & deeper - would this have been a well ? - we are in chalk, according to environmental agency, the water table here is about 8m down.
edit - well well well - what else couldit be - tosser
