I once emptied a 40yd skip on the floor of the company I was supposed to be collecting it from, as the wouldn’t pay for it. He’s said there was no money on site and the rubbish was now my companies problem. If I wanted to take the skip I had to take the rubbish too! He wasn’t laughing when he realise he was wrong!!
Bumps the price up like insurance for bloody being a twat love the non payers going to the ATM and realising they haven't been weighed at the end of week and month and see their jaw drop open
Are you 100% sure this occurred outside of your head? I can’t believe that someone who can tie their own shoe laces couldn’t have foreseen that outcome.
I used to have my own mini/midi skip business, I had a support bar going across the top of the arms, when people put boards down the sides to make the skip hold more all I did was lower the arms and reverse using the horizontal support bar to level the skip.. Quick, easy.. Job done.
I've only ever had to order a skip once, & as a decent person I loaded it as instructed. I wish these companies would work together & blacklist customers who aren't bright enough to follow simple rules.
The funny thing is that the filmer was probably filming thinking that the driver was in the wrong but reading the chat shows how stupid they were by overfilling a skip
@Liam Robins The funny thing was the guy filming was laughing and knew the skip was overloaded. Only a moron like you would need to read the chat to understand what was going on.
Job ain't worth crap. I did it & got pissed off with arsholes Overloading & risking the drivers licence & risking waste coming off & endangering other road users. Too many a excuse I alone have heard. It's not the drivers fault that waste Disposal is expensive. Blame the government with landfill tax
I don't think people realise there is a landfill tax. Currently £96.70 and rising to £98.60 per tonne in April. Inert waste is going from £3.10 to £3.15. That's £63 for a 20 tonne wagon load of muck.
This video is the case in example why I have avoided skip work like the plague over the last 38 yrs. When foolish people get greedy and think they can pressure the driver into doing something that will jeopardise the drivers licence all for a pocket full of thanks. Generally, as a rule, I have avoided home delivery and collections for exactly the same reason. Full marks to the driver for standing his ground.
After 15 years of building merchants hiab deliveries I started skips & ro ro's 3 weeks ago. This video is one of many reasons I just handed my notice in . More grief than it's worth
It's in the hire contract, it's quite often written on the side of the skip... Can't complain. I pack skips carefully and if not enough room I ask driver when he comes if ok to throw a bit more in top. It's their jobs at stake too when they get back to depot
Brilliant skills by the skip driver! These roasters that overfilled the skip will have some cleaning up to do. The skip driver could have points on his license because of these roasters.
The skip driver is the one breaking the law, it's his waste license at risk, not the customer. You can get away with this if the skip is on private land, but if you do it on the road you're committing multiple offences. Bye by waste license, bye bye skip business.
@@Dave-bu6bc he’s not breaking the law though is he. The waste isn’t the skip drivers. If the customer has over filled he has every right to refuse the excess and dumping on the road isn’t his responsibility to clean up.
Good driver being taken the mick out of... Good for him... he could have fully emptied the skip but didn't and just leveled off the load so he wasn't over.... and man did a great job of only tipping out what he needed to....
As a skip driver be lucky he didn't empty the whole load on the floor as that's our company policy "if it's over fill line, Empty the skip" or sometimes we even get you to empty otherwise we won't take it away from the site. Either way we take an empty skip I suggest reading the company policy in future
it's still their/your responsibility. Although you're right - people will use your skip given the chance, it's still on you to stop that or to safeguard against it.
How many times have you seen pieces fly off on motorways or dual carriageways due to overloads or Not covered properly. Causing serious injury even deaths. Every Skip driver worth his salt would do what this guy did. However Some will take a bung or back hander to just take it. And those customers don’t care as long as it’s gone.
I’ve been driving skip trucks since 2005 and there is no way I’d get away with tipping overloaded skips onto the road like this! This is basically fly tipping! The company and the driver should have just refused to collect the skip until the skip is of safe load to be transported.
His well within his rights because there is massive f*****g letters saying fill level!!! So do not over fill it or this is what happens!!! If you need to then order a bigger skip or another skip for the excess!!!
So writing fill level gives you the right to dump waste on the highway? Glad you cleared that up, next time I need a skip I'll just write "fill level" on the pavement and dump all the rubbish in the road, save myself the cost of hiring a skip.
I only filled a skip the other day. 18 inches above the sides for household rubbish I think it was only 4 or 5 for building materials like this. Some weight difference between toys an rubble
Yeah, i feel like a better solution is to charge a fee until the renter removes the trash they over filled. Let them take care of all of it and charge them extra. Win win.
@@crispy9175 Then you get into a situation where the skip owner gets fined by the city cause it's just sitting there forever. As well as good luck on collecting on an additional fee. Better to take the original pre-paid fee, level the load, and reclaim your property then take that route.
Yes finally a reaction from the customer.I have watch at least 20 skip video and all of them had no reaction from the customer.I just wish it was looooooooooooonger
Kudos to the driver , we have all seen over filled skips and thinking 🤔 how the hell is the driver supposed to pick that up. A lot of builders do take the Piss over filling slips.. trying to save money !
I drove an eight wheeler Volvo rear end loader which used containers that had a closed top and doors at the rear for loading,when they were full all they did was to continue pilling the waste on top of the container until you could hardly see it so whilst your right in theory in in reality it made NO difference,sometimes the containers were so heavy the equipment on the truck wouldn’t lift them so a skip truck had to be sent to lift them because they were so badly overloaded.
The easiest way would be if it was written in the contract that if the skip is dangerously overloaded. They will not collect it and will charge to return to collect it when it’s a safe height. They have clients card details so could easily and legally charge.
03/3 22. Why is'nt it an offence by the hirer for it to be overloaded at the time of removal ? Hirer's should refuse to touch it if it's non-compliant but still issue call- out charge for visit.
Every skip I see is overfilled way higher than that and often there are absurdly dangerous things used to increase height of the walls such as panes of glass! I am both surprised that the overfilling I see seems to always be tolerated and again surprised that the driver in this case was not tolerating it at all.
Brother in law was skip driver. He had woman throw herself under his trucks wheels, dead. When collecting empty skips in a row, a chain slipped off. He reached between two skips to put back on, other chain slipped, skip moved and crushed his hand. Rest of life in constant pain, taking pain killers. He even asked doctors to remove his hand. They said won't make any difference. He passed last xmas. Strangely his brother passed 10 days later.
Was this in the same day, crushed his hand after a wommen threw her self under his truck. Fuck me he's unlucky. I hate skips when I'm on site I stand clear of the things. Never trusted them chaines. And as you can see people over load the skips. Do the chains have to be weighted tested at all in there life times.

They should get loaded into a mini-skip and carted off to the "overused settings everyone turns off" refuse drop-off point, IMO.
You worked for the wrong firms. My company has and will hire a proper legal team. Work for better people, the council guy will come out and say carry on leveling. At the end of the day our smaller truck comes by cleans it up and charges the customer.
It is unfair. My argument would be unsafe laod due to customer putting to much in. Its unfair how the skip driver should be punished when it started with the person hiring the skip. Its just easier to fine the skip driver that's what it comes down to.
Once a driver has hooked up to skip the waste becomes property of the person / business. Any rubbish tipped out is legally fly tipping, just as if the rubbish falls of during transport the driver / business is liable for what damage that could cause.
@@callumpeers2806 One thing I do when filling skips is think of my kids, what if. I always think this skip is driven to its drop off. So I need take sure nothin will fall off and endanger people's lives especially children. So I always make sure the load is secure. I think it's a responsibility all builders should have. I call it the paranoid dad what if. Well minimise what you can I say.
Funny they say level load but if you offer them a few more quid they will take it and then over loading don't apply and if fill it lower than level load you don't get a refund
Greedy boards are a tight wads way of trying to get more in the skip, or in this case on the skip. Ive seen doors stood upright in skips because the tight ass customer wants to get more in, they wouldnt want to follow a skip filled that high. load level, i always top my skips off with an old mattress to act as a net.
@@cbuts9240 you have to remember the skip company has to pay landfill tax on anything that isnt recycled.That is currently £160 a tonne, considering the cost of fuel drivers wages, the truck insurance etc etc it is very good value. Suggest you take it to the tip yourself you tight wad
@@cbuts9240 Well think of the fees, £120 per day goes to the driver (if they are paying properly), another £100 per day at the other end where the skip is dropped off and sorted, then you have fuel costs which is easily £100-£150 per day, admin costs, additional staff in the office, maintenance on the truck and gear etc... the actual profit per skip going back to the owner is not as high as you might first think. I don't know the exact profit per skip, but I know that the customer would spend about the same to do it themselves with a trailer, doing multiple tip trips and spending all day long travelling to and from the tip.
Don't upset the skip driver? The load's supposed to be level. As soon as he takes that skip, it's his responsibility. If something comes off and damages something or injures someone, that's his livelihood. People don't look at it this way and they just think he's being a dickhead when he isn't.
Piss takers. Just get another skip. Everyone winges about paying for waste away, but it's got to be done and when you think that lot in there was about £260-£300 for 6 yds that's a good deal. If you had to take that in a van you'd be sorting metal to the scrappy, rubble to the free rubble tip, wood to a green waste, then still be left with glass, plastic and all the other stuff gets thrown in. You'd have to stack it up somewhere, load it in your van, then run it out to these places and unload it. Take two days. If they'd offered him £30 he'd probably have left it on, but those kind of blokes can't see it, they just keep s t r e t. c. h. I. n. g the rope until this happens. Good on the man.
Quite right too, some people take the piss filling skips. They should be thankful he only knocked off the excess, I’ve seen skip drivers dump out the whole load before now
I've ordered hundreds of skips over the years and one day I was doing ground work with an excavator. I filled about 20 skips, it was the same driver all day, then on the last skip to be collected job completed, a different driver turned up and refused to take the skip! I said to him your company have been taking the skips all day at the same level, you turn up and your refusing to take just this one? Anyway after around 20 minutes of arguing my gaffer turned up. I explained to my gaffer what's been happening all day, he said to the driver here's a magic tenna! Can you take it now? The driver thought about it and said errm my wagon might lift it! So gaffer said here's a magic fiver! Will it lift it now? Skip driver said yeah it will now!! Loaded it on and off he went!! We still laugh about it to this day!! 😂😂😂😂
I'm not saying he's not morally right, however I work for a council & that skip company would be getting fined for fly-tipping unless they get that cleaned up. It's shit. But it's a fact with the council I work at.
I do not understand what is happening here. I am from North America where you pay someone to drop the bin, you fill it up, then they take it away instead of dumping it on the street. Why do they dump the trash on the street in the United Kingdom?
the skip driver did the right thing emptying half of the skip back on the road as his license would be on the line ,but im sure that builder was trying to convince him to take it all but they should pay for another skip
I understand why he levelled it, as a hgv driver i really do..... but...... now the driver has 'dumped' all that waste on the road he technically can be done for fly tipping.... and these guys have all the evidence. Solution is either send a larger skip, another skip to get them to transfer to or simply leave your skip there until they empty it. Whoever tips it is responsable. Just be carefull doing it this way.😊😊
Cant believe some of the things these skip drivers manage to do. Everytime we have higherd a skip, they have to get it over a hedge and on our lawn. They manage it EVERY time
Lots of comments saying "Well done" to the skip-truck driver, but no mention of the fact that he fly-tipped a load of waste on the public highway. Did he get prosecuted? If not, why not?

Roll off bins are loaded with a single hook or winch cable.
Skill driver
ive seen skips with more than that on.. that wasnt level but not massively overloaded.. they should have skimmed it down tho..
I’ve seen the same, sadly quite a few of them were on the back of a wagon heading down the road
Funny they say level load but if you offer them a few more quid they will take it and then over loading don't apply and if fill it lower than level load you don't get a refund
I always add a bit more. I’ve been using the same company for decades, no problem. Maybe 6” higher than it should be.
You do see over filled skips all the time pistol takers,Good on the driver. 🇬🇧
Is that carpet any good.
Good on him
Good enough for them. People always take the piss and it's the driver who gets the points on his driving licence 😂
Good job, that's why there's crap all up the sides of the roads and no one like dodging debris at 100kmh
Greedy boards are a tight wads way of trying to get more in the skip, or in this case on the skip. Ive seen doors stood upright in skips because the tight ass customer wants to get more in, they wouldnt want to follow a skip filled that high. load level, i always top my skips off with an old mattress to act as a net.
Greedy is how much they are charging for a skip these days you cant tell me someone isn't making a mint at 280 for an 8 yard
@@cbuts9240 you have to remember the skip company has to pay landfill tax on anything that isnt recycled.That is currently £160 a tonne, considering the cost of fuel drivers wages, the truck insurance etc etc it is very good value. Suggest you take it to the tip yourself you tight wad
@@cbuts9240 Well think of the fees, £120 per day goes to the driver (if they are paying properly), another £100 per day at the other end where the skip is dropped off and sorted, then you have fuel costs which is easily £100-£150 per day, admin costs, additional staff in the office, maintenance on the truck and gear etc... the actual profit per skip going back to the owner is not as high as you might first think. I don't know the exact profit per skip, but I know that the customer would spend about the same to do it themselves with a trailer, doing multiple tip trips and spending all day long travelling to and from the tip.
The skip driver has every right to do that. Don't pay for your skip,then they will leave your rubbish on your door step.😂
Nice touch!👌
Damn right!
I get this daily. Ill just take pic. Send my boss and drive off.
Mee to. But i take them with me. No problem do drive safe . I have done it for 16 years now in norway.
These builders always do this even the greedy board looked like plaster board
Lol fair play to the driver. Bloke took the micky ( iim being polite lol )
It's the same in any transport. Limits and the law.
Don't upset the skip driver? The load's supposed to be level. As soon as he takes that skip, it's his responsibility. If something comes off and damages something or injures someone, that's his livelihood. People don't look at it this way and they just think he's being a dickhead when he isn't.
Piss takers. Just get another skip. Everyone winges about paying for waste away, but it's got to be done and when you think that lot in there was about £260-£300 for 6 yds that's a good deal. If you had to take that in a van you'd be sorting metal to the scrappy, rubble to the free rubble tip, wood to a green waste, then still be left with glass, plastic and all the other stuff gets thrown in. You'd have to stack it up somewhere, load it in your van, then run it out to these places and unload it. Take two days. If they'd offered him £30 he'd probably have left it on, but those kind of blokes can't see it, they just keep s t r e t. c. h. I. n. g the rope until this happens. Good on the man.
Quite right too, some people take the piss filling skips. They should be thankful he only knocked off the excess, I’ve seen skip drivers dump out the whole load before now
What sort of knob would overfill a skip to that degree.
Surely the skip driver is fly tipping
I've ordered hundreds of skips over the years and one day I was doing ground work with an excavator. I filled about 20 skips, it was the same driver all day, then on the last skip to be collected job completed, a different driver turned up and refused to take the skip! I said to him your company have been taking the skips all day at the same level, you turn up and your refusing to take just this one? Anyway after around 20 minutes of arguing my gaffer turned up. I explained to my gaffer what's been happening all day, he said to the driver here's a magic tenna! Can you take it now? The driver thought about it and said errm my wagon might lift it! So gaffer said here's a magic fiver! Will it lift it now? Skip driver said yeah it will now!! Loaded it on and off he went!! We still laugh about it to this day!! 😂😂😂😂
🤣🤣 brilliant lol
Love this😂😂😂
I'm not saying he's not morally right, however I work for a council & that skip company would be getting fined for fly-tipping unless they get that cleaned up. It's shit. But it's a fact with the council I work at.
Do him for fly tipping 😂😂
Pro level. ✔️
I do not understand what is happening here. I am from North America where you pay someone to drop the bin, you fill it up, then they take it away instead of dumping it on the street. Why do they dump the trash on the street in the United Kingdom?
the skip driver did the right thing emptying half of the skip back on the road as his license would be on the line ,but im sure that builder was trying to convince him to take it all but they should pay for another skip
Well I won't get that 2.08 minutes of my life back.
What was the point of this? was it that it was over full?
That's where the fifty quid tax applies 🤣
a 20 at least
I understand why he levelled it, as a hgv driver i really do..... but...... now the driver has 'dumped' all that waste on the road he technically can be done for fly tipping.... and these guys have all the evidence.
Solution is either send a larger skip, another skip to get them to transfer to or simply leave your skip there until they empty it.
Whoever tips it is responsable. Just be carefull doing it this way.😊😊
Cant believe some of the things these skip drivers manage to do.
Everytime we have higherd a skip, they have to get it over a hedge and on our lawn. They manage it EVERY time
Lots of comments saying "Well done" to the skip-truck driver, but no mention of the fact that he fly-tipped a load of waste on the public highway. Did he get prosecuted? If not, why not?
8 yards is 8 yards. Tight bastard should have ordered a bigger skip!
Gotta love my skip company I use, 0 fucks from them about height or what goes in them 👊💪
