Bricks in skip

[23vc]

Merry Christmas etc - wondered if someone could check my logic
Got about 25 square meters of bricks (lbc phorpres) to knock down and dispose of, by my workings this is about 1800 bricks which I think should fit in an 8yd skip (although never tried it so can't really picture it), but also planning on getting a grab lorry price incase it's less than the 170 I pay for 8 yarder skips ? I think it's about 5-6 tons of bricks. Anyway if I'm talking rubbish (pun intended) or along the right lines any advice appreciated,
Cheers
John

I don't reckon I'll get any takers especially as most of the bricks are painted and they're not old reclaim bricks but I could try it I guess, cheers

If you can keep the load to clean bricks, try and negotiate a discount for disposal, these can go straight to the crusher pile.

Or try a local farmer. We broke up a concrete driveway and the farmer dropped off a trailer, we filled it and he used it somewhere in the farm.

those bricks will fit into the skip, to answer your question, though be prepared for a) more rubble than you expect and b) for the locals to add to your skip!

I know some grab drivers who wouldnt take bricks...it depends on where they take their loads. Ring a few and ask.
