Cleanaway was bought bought out by veolia.
Bloke wasn’t called Danny something based in poplar east london by any chance?
Camo Skips are a newcomer around Oxon and Bucks. I think they’re based at Oakley at the former yard of Bucks Waste who’ve moved to a new depot at Westcott. They like their Fodens.

The one I remember around Coventry and part of the Mortons group was Tidyways, taken over by Hales.
Was it Mayglothling in Hereford had stickers in the windscreens for their silver anniversary which read “twentyfive years gone to waste”?

A bloke I used to work with worked for him recons it was a good job just that the F7s were a bit underpowered fully freighted
A couple of old ones without any history unfortunately, I Think the Volvo was a demonstrator from across the water and the Leyland was the same system fitted at a later Date
kr79- I notice you were talking about “double-ups” back in the day. I think I held the record in our area when I put two long & low 10-yard skips doubled up, then two mini skips back to back on top of these. Must have been a fairly decent weight for the four-wheeler Mercury!
The other record I held was for four scrap cars on the same skip loader, but maybe that shouldn’t count because I took out half the town’s electricity supply when I brought down an overhead power line. 
That’s good going I got three 8 yard bins on all full of black bags which squashed down well. Now you have to put straps on two empty bins.
No more “thumps” when cornering hard, then?
Move over, David Bailey!
No idea where this firm came from. I saw these three one day and never saw the name again.
