    Some people cant drive, and I cant afford to get someone to come take it all. There is too much to compost and my bin is full from all the cardboard at xmas :D

    Anyway I was going to have a fire but kept forgetting to get a lighter :rolleyes: Now the rain is here, so I've got to wait for it to dry! Sods law :(
  • Try asking some neighbours if they need any of the wood (just assuming it's wood lol) I got rid of tons (literally, I think lol) of the stuff last year because an older guy across the road needed all the wood he could get to build a rough fence. Much less hassle than burning it, or calling someone to uplift it which I was planning on doing. Only problem is, I have no excuse not to tidy up and make use of my garden now the wood is gone :( lol, I love it really...

    Because bonfires are fun?

    I must admit though I would be annoyed if someone was having fires every week.
    It's my problem, it's my problem
    If I feel the need to hide
    And it's my problem if I have no friends
    And feel I want to die
