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.
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.
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.
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.

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.
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
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.
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.
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

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!! 😂😂😂😂
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....
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.

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.
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.

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.
I drove a sip truck for a few months. And I was glad to finish and move on to something else. It was a thankless job. Skips always loaded poorly. I remember driving down a very steep hill with a junction at the bottom, I had a full skip of stone and rubble on the truck. As I stopped at the main road the skip slid on the back like a clock pendulum went up past the cab roof and came crashing back down on the truck bed. No damage but I was shit scared after that. I never told the company about it. I just said I don't want to drive skips anymore. It is in my eyes a crap system a steel skip on a steel bed held in place with just the chains.
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.
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.
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.
Additionally, why do channels put "autoplay" on? It does nothing for me, and is just sad to see that some people have no clue as to why "autoplay" should be off by default. They should get loaded into a mini-skip and carted off to the "overused settings everyone turns off" refuse drop-off point, IMO.
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.😊😊
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
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?
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.
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.
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 !
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?
If the driver dumps it out then he is fly tipping, regardless of the companies policies / load heights etc, local bylaws take precident. ..ITS FLY TIPPING PERIOD . Seen a waste management driver have the police called on him with video evidence and sure enough the driver got a fine. I can see why the driver is pissed off but the law is the law sadly .
its not fly tipping. you know who the stuff belongs to and the owner of the rubbish probably secured a permit for that space for the skip from the council.
@@gpo746 yes, police aren't always right. e.g. sarah everard. You say that you "saw" someone get done, which implies you're just a third party bystander who saw something happen with a skip lorry driver. I suggest you do not have full ins and outs of the issue and just jumping to conclusions. RUclips is full of idiots who just make up shit and then their defence is "i saw it happen that one time, it was none of my business, but I'm guessing that's how it went down". This isn't playground shit, where the last person touching something is respnsible for it, where you give your mate an empty bag of crisps and then run away and now he has to put it in the bin. That's not how it works in the adult world. LOL
@@Professional_RUclips_Commenter Whatever...he was warned by the police to shift it or he would be arrested ... he refused and got arrested so, yeah they got it wrong didnt they and the murder of that poor woman has f*ck all to do with it and was ridiculous to try and use that as a comparison. IF your a skip driver then you continue doing your thing .
Because if that skip was loaded onto the lorry, one wrong turn or bump or pothole sends the overfill straight onto a busier road or motorway. The skip driver could literally lose his job if he loaded that skip as it was
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
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
If you you want a 2 yard skip that's fine . If you want to put doors in it to make it a 6yard skip then more fool you . Over loading is for people who are tight. It takes a certain clientele to overload a skip and try to get away with it ! Most builders are more respectful and don't take the piss .Me as a driver would tip the fuxxing lot on the road but that would be fly tipping. 🤬
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
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
It’s nothing to do with his license that truck wouldn’t be overweight, it’s to do with the cost of getting rid of the rubbish . Most skip firms just send a bill for the extra weight.
The council did get involved because all that rubbish got left on the road as far as I know skip company was ok !but they stopped the people from having another skip the only way they could get rid of the rubbish was to load it as the skip company waited so it did backfire on them ! Does anyone know if a skip cost say £300 how much is it for skip company to get rid of it and what on average is it worth for them per skip ??????? Www.pooleplastering.com
I get this all the time & drop the driver abit of cash & he will just take it. We are not talking £5.00 more like a nice drink & take away 30.00 / £40.00. Never had no probs with it but it's down to the driver as it's his liecence
Every skip I've seen lately has been overloaded. Does the skip company not tell the customer that they shouldn't do that, or is there an element of other people dumping into the skip? This one is an absolute pi** take by the builders.
Fair enough to the driver as the bloke who orderd the skip is a cheap muppet but couldnt matey get in trouble for fly tipping for doing that? Just wondering as i have no clue

Note they broke the winch lines on the tilttray and supertilt first.
The 2 skip trucks did wheelies and didn't even move it 😂😂😂.

Dam, I remember a skip being over filled on the day england was playing a match in the afternoon. Skip man's piped burst oil pissing everywhere. I rushed to unfilled it. Mostly bloody clay from footings. Wasn't over filled just to heavy for the old truck. Got home in time for the match ha ha ha.
@@xxyxnxwxaxx9724 No not same day. He passed the woman and felt a bump. Turned out she was mental, not aware of her surroundings and may just have fell under rear wheels.
Nice houses wrecked with plastic doors and windows and red painted brick and concrete everywhere. Sad.
Unfair as it seems that driver could now be prosecuted for flytipping, i worked on skips for a few years and seen it happen.
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.
would tu rather something comes flying off and hits a car with kids in it because thats what can happen

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.
I drove a sip truck for a few months. And I was glad to finish and move on to something else. It was a thankless job. Skips always loaded poorly. I remember driving down a very steep hill with a junction at the bottom, I had a full skip of stone and rubble on the truck. As I stopped at the main road the skip slid on the back like a clock pendulum went up past the cab roof and came crashing back down on the truck bed. No damage but I was shit scared after that. I never told the company about it. I just said I don't want to drive skips anymore. It is in my eyes a crap system a steel skip on a steel bed held in place with just the chains.
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.
Nice one Driver 👍 They won't overload a Skip again.
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.
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.😂
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.
Even though that’s now classed as fly tipping?
Additionally, why do channels put "autoplay" on? It does nothing for me, and is just sad to see that some people have no clue as to why "autoplay" should be off by default. They should get loaded into a mini-skip and carted off to the "overused settings everyone turns off" refuse drop-off point, IMO.
Good on the 'Skippy'.
They had one task and that was not to overload the skip, and failed miserably at it! When will they learn? My guess is "day after never".
I love the way the person that loaded the skip films it ,I would have refused to lift it
Good job, that's why there's crap all up the sides of the roads and no one like dodging debris at 100kmh
Good on him 👏
Done this with 16yd RoRo bin. Whatever falls off the back, fuck it !! Only so much you can sheet up safely.... 👍👍👍
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.😊😊
8 yards is 8 yards. Tight bastard should have ordered a bigger skip!
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
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?
Good enough for them. People always take the piss and it's the driver who gets the points on his driving licence 😂
Surely the skip driver is fly tipping
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 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.
fair enough , nice job by driver.
Loving the simba mattress box!
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 !
And lots of skip lorry drivers have some kind of netting to secure such loads and to stop things flying off when driving
Our driver would make you unload everything over the sides of the ban. He couldn't tarp it.
Well I won't get that 2.08 minutes of my life back.
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?
These builders always do this even the greedy board looked like plaster board
If the driver dumps it out then he is fly tipping, regardless of the companies policies / load heights etc, local bylaws take precident. ..ITS FLY TIPPING PERIOD . Seen a waste management driver have the police called on him with video evidence and sure enough the driver got a fine.
I can see why the driver is pissed off but the law is the law sadly .
its not fly tipping. you know who the stuff belongs to and the owner of the rubbish probably secured a permit for that space for the skip from the council.
@@Professional_RUclips_Commenter I have seen a driver get done for doing this.. So are the police wrong then
@@gpo746 yes, police aren't always right. e.g. sarah everard. You say that you "saw" someone get done, which implies you're just a third party bystander who saw something happen with a skip lorry driver. I suggest you do not have full ins and outs of the issue and just jumping to conclusions.
RUclips is full of idiots who just make up shit and then their defence is "i saw it happen that one time, it was none of my business, but I'm guessing that's how it went down".
This isn't playground shit, where the last person touching something is respnsible for it, where you give your mate an empty bag of crisps and then run away and now he has to put it in the bin. That's not how it works in the adult world. LOL
@@Professional_RUclips_Commenter Whatever...he was warned by the police to shift it or he would be arrested ... he refused and got arrested so, yeah they got it wrong didnt they and the murder of that poor woman has f*ck all to do with it and was ridiculous to try and use that as a comparison. IF your a skip driver then you continue doing your thing .
@@gpo746 you said police are always right, i gave an extreme example of how police are clearly not always right.
thats a littering charge right there.
Yes to the home owner its HIS waste
You do see over filled skips all the time pistol takers,Good on the driver. 🇬🇧
Isn't the skip drive responsible for dumping the rubbish on the public highway.
Nope , because their rental agreement has been voided by the misuse of the customer
Because if that skip was loaded onto the lorry, one wrong turn or bump or pothole sends the overfill straight onto a busier road or motorway. The skip driver could literally lose his job if he loaded that skip as it was
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
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
If you you want a 2 yard skip that's fine . If you want to put doors in it to make it a 6yard skip then more fool you . Over loading is for people who are tight. It takes a certain clientele to overload a skip and try to get away with it ! Most builders are more respectful and don't take the piss .Me as a driver would tip the fuxxing lot on the road but that would be fly tipping. 🤬
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
I leveled a skip, had the driver tell me I could have fit loads more on.
I’ve had three skips this year I had to pay as soon as thy dropped it it’s o way I was happy thy were happy so happy days
The only way that is
Good video, does say level loads only , he should have offered the fellow a drink,that's why you pay for the skip first
Mostly the Greedy companies wanting you to accept their extortionate prices to hire 2skips
Topman hes in the right!
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
It’s nothing to do with his license that truck wouldn’t be overweight, it’s to do with the cost of getting rid of the rubbish . Most skip firms just send a bill for the extra weight.
Good on the skip driver, nothing worse seeing overloaded skip dropping stuff at ever pothole or hump, and our car tyres getting damaged.
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
you pay for an 8yd skip don't mean you can fill it with 10yd of crap.
The council did get involved because all that rubbish got left on the road as far as I know skip company was ok !but they stopped the people from having another skip the only way they could get rid of the rubbish was to load it as the skip company waited so it did backfire on them !
Does anyone know if a skip cost say £300 how much is it for skip company to get rid of it and what on average is it worth for them per skip ???????
Www.pooleplastering.com
It's the same in any transport. Limits and the law.
Gotta love my skip company I use, 0 fucks from them about height or what goes in them 👊💪
I get this all the time & drop the driver abit of cash & he will just take it. We are not talking £5.00 more like a nice drink & take away 30.00 / £40.00. Never had no probs with it but it's down to the driver as it's his liecence
I had a Skip on the drive of my dead Father's house ...
I caught several neighbours and passing tradesmen trying to fill it .... Grrrrrrr
Every skip I've seen lately has been overloaded. Does the skip company not tell the customer that they shouldn't do that, or is there an element of other people dumping into the skip? This one is an absolute pi** take by the builders.
I think it’s a bit of both honestly lol
That's where the fifty quid tax applies 🤣
a 20 at least
My understanding of the two times I hired skips was that the load must not protrude above the sides of the skip.
Fair enough to the driver as the bloke who orderd the skip is a cheap muppet but couldnt matey get in trouble for fly tipping for doing that? Just wondering as i have no clue
Hasn't the driver got a net or a tarp?
