Hello,

I empty my manure/dirty bedding etc, into a skip. At the beginning, I can get a wheelbarrow in; eventually, I'm down to using buckets and tipping them over the sides. The manure breaks down, and I get charged per an empty. It's better to keep topping up for me. It's not a huge issue except for buckets! I was using the large rubber buckets, but the handles keep breaking! Is anyone doing something similar and have a recommendation of what to muck out into!?

Thank you
 
A tonne builders bag maybe (obvs not full up!), or a smaller one if you can find it. Look at the Hippo bags.

Edited - I meant to transfer from the stable to your skip, not to have them collected by Hippo, although that is also an option if they take manure!)
 
In the old days it was always a cut open sack. Muck out on to the sacking then pick it up by the corners and tip it. No wonder we spent so much time sweeping!

OP if you have some rope you could poke two holes each side of your bucket-with-broken-handles and knot in some rope to make new handles.

Or you can get a smaller version/garden sack with handles from amazon. We use these for moving hay and moving muck from stables
