How can I get rid of my build up of rubbish bags?

Hello

Can anyone tell me if they know how I can pay for someone to come and collect and my rubbish. I have a build up of 13 black bin bags of household rubbish and would happily pay to get it taken away. I have looked at hippo bags but these are about £50 for collection.

Have no idea where to start

Thanks x

    we're gradually getting rid of black bags of old carpet and underlay, can usually fit a bag in the wheelie each fortnight along with our usual rubbish. However, I see in your avatar you have a little rugrat, I bet her nappies are filling up the bin for you! As the previous poster said, take them to the tip.

    (i wouldn't use any "man with van" who offer to take rubbish away on the cheap - it'll probably end up dumped in someone's field or on the side of a road :-(

    Agree with above. If you don't drive, it's probably easiest to ask a friend/relative/neighbour/colleague to do a run to the tip for you. They probably won't let you pay them, so buy them some beers/box of choccies/etc as a thankyou.

    I do have a car but don't fancy putting the bags with old nappies and food in my car.

    Explain to us why you apparently do not have a refuse collection service from your local council. That's one of the things that you pay your local council to do.
    I can afford anything that I want.
    Just so long as I don't want much.
  • We regularly have about 3 binbags left over every week that won't fit in the bin. We have a dd still in nappies which totally fills the bin up and the cou cil will only take what is in the wheelie bin, no extra. Try and get to the tip. I would put a load of sheets and things down in th car and take them to the tip but it depends on how far away your tip is.

    Get some garden refuge sack and make a trip to the dump, but on the other production side not I would make sure your recycling everything you can and does your local council offer a food waste collection service. Maby consider cloth nappies and find a local diapers service my local council runs a subsidised service for cloth or at least they used to.

    I live on my own and regularly have 'space' in my wheelie bin. See if one of your neighbours is in the same position and ask if you can put some of your bags in their bin.

    Alternatively, you may be able to get a larger bin. Where I am, we havew a choice of three bins depending on the size of your family. May be worth asking your council.
