you need to phone a skip hire company in the area where your working as the cost varies so much from town to town where i work at so I am sure you will be the same
give you an example
an 8 cube builder skip can be between £ 120 - £ 150 in most towns in the north west
I have paid £246 for the same size skip in a town not far from where GB has his yard
i took a photo of it seeing as its the most expensive skip I have ever hired
the most expensive skip company on planet earth
grrrrr

8yd skip in my area is £150-£175 although there are some companies that will do them cheaper if you going to fill them solely with earth/rubble, not household waste.

mellands hahah robbing barstewards, where were you working?
overton sand and sh*t i mean gravel do them, dont ever buy soil off them its got more brick and glass than soil.
if i had to i'd use marple skip hire round here local lad only 2 wagons.
i work on roughly £12 a ton for muck away (cost) but i dont use skips, ever. haha
i can pay £70 for a 40 yarder plus £4 a ton but obviously only upto 20 ton and you can get a lot more than that in 
haha, good on demo strip out jobs for all the timber etc if you can't burn it.

how do you get away with burning on site now? environment agency have shut all that activity down now, and the fines imposed can't justify the risk of getting caught.
I think its better to burn timber, than send it to landfill. Its only giving off the carbon its already absorbed, rather than methane when it decomposes ???

Don't they recycle timber into MDF and fuel pellets and stuff? A Waste Transfer Station I call in at occasionally sifts out all the timber and loads it into a separate skip. The owner told me it gets turned into pet bedding!

there's a large place just opened in the past year near us that buys/takes waste timber to turn in fuel for biomass boilers.

8yd £110 18yd ro-ro £240 and an 8 wheel tipper is £95 beat that. All to transfer stations or legitimate landfill. No permits required just common sense if roads busy etc.
