It needs privatising. I'm cancelling our contract with sk solutions as they still operate like a bunch of
Council workers (in the office).

Rotten John - is it really a TYPICAL council jobs worth thing? Why don't you just go ahead and deduct your expenses then instead of doubting it - and send SMBC an invoice for the job? Not sure what you want anyone on the forum to say.....

As a business user we have to pay for bin collection on top of the extortionate business rates, crazy eh?

So yes, we're going to cancel solutions SK as they cost too much and their attitude is still public sector.

I cancelled the shop last year but negotiated a better price for the other. I'll give it until the election  and this years duty of care. If Labour get in, I'll cancel SKsolutions

Bibby were cheaper last year, we share a big wheelie with a few other businesses nearby, we hire the bin, they buy minimum number of bags so we all stay legal (how stupid is that legislation), we bill the neighbours to use our skip. Bibby was cheaper last year but it seems to that the deals are like insurance. They make it cheap in the first year in the hope you don't shop around. Try any of the broker type companies to get a deal. Sk solutions have hiked their price up this time around so watch them.

I concur on the billing, we got away with them cocking up the bill so we paid nothing a couple of years ago, usually I'd be honest with suppliers but I object to paying for rubbish collection.......
