Skip Removal
We had a landscaper come to do some work on our garden but they were awful and so we terminated the arrangement with them. They hired a skip which is on our driveway, but they haven’t arranged collection despite us asking repeatedly. The skip is rusty and battered and doesn’t have a company name or number on it. How do we get it removed?!

Send a formal email or letter to company who hired it first. State that you are going to have the skip removed by a waste removal company and and liability lies completely with them.

You could either ask the company you terminated for the details of the skip hire company, or wait and the skip hire company will turn up to collect the skip.

In a situation like this, if you have a written agreement, then go to trading standards as a last resort.
I would always advise a client to contact a previous tradesman in writing at least 3 times on recorded postage. Should that fail then either new tradesman or trading standards can help get it sorted.

Best thing to do is to take pictures of the skip from all angles and the waste inside from the top then email all the local skip hire companies within a 10 miles radius starting with the closest company from your property and write in the email that the skip has been on your drive with the waste inside and you can’t find out who’s skip it is so would you like to come collect it with the waste in for free , your find skip companies will be crying out for skips very soon and the best bit is the company who it belongs too will probably tell you it’s there’s , we all know our own assets usually.
He them to collect it or any other company that comes back to you first
Thanks lee
