The price includes delivery, collection and disposal of waste. The standard hire period is 14 days but this can usually be extended for a small fee as long as appropriate notice is given. Heavy waste costs more to dispose of so loads containing only rubble, soil, concrete or wet wood etc. may incur a premium.
