Find a homeless person and give him £5 to sleep on it.

Maybe your council charges an arm and a leg (ours charges £53) and he has no other means of getting rid of it.

Offer him the facility of your skip when you get your bathroom done.

My local council charges the earth too and environmental health have charged for dealing with rat problems for years.

I pay through the nose (and more than most in equivalent properties in London) for sweet FA other than fortnightly (limited) bin collections, poor street lighting, none existent public transport, but loads and loads of traffic lights which make our small town resemble the M25 at rush hour!!! (I could go on) :mad:

And breathe.

I've a sofa to get rid of. Investigated getting the council to take it (expensive), and getting a man who was bringing my new sofa to remove it (expensive) ....because the tips charge £30+ quid for you to dump it there.

So, Plan B. The best way to get rid of a sofa is to rip off the coverings and take those to the tip. Then take a saw to the rest of the sofa and take it to the tip as "bits of wood" ..... all I am waiting for now is a stretch of dry days when I can guarantee to be able to leave mine outside and continue to work on it, slowly, piece by piece (rubbish at manual work, so will be picking away at it) ....

Enviromental health can write a letter, but not enforce anything as the sofa owner has broken no laws, as the sofa has an owner the council cannot just up and take it to dispose that's actually theft, the only way the council could remove it that's by obtaining a court order granting them permission to remove after all other avenues has failed to remedy the situation.


You could do him a favor one day by getting rid yourself, youd have to ask the owners permission though or you too could face a visit from plod if he makes a complaint that's his cherished garden sun lounger has gone missing and neighbors say you took it.


Your BEST possible way and solution *cough..... pay some local kiddies to nick it for their "den"* is to simply write to the owner.

dump it in the middle of the road and report fly tipping

I have a neighbour who doesn't like my garden furniture which I sit out on when the weather is nice. What can I do as I like sitting out in the garden enjoying the fresh air plus it's an expensive sofa. I think me might try to take it away from me. Worried:sad:
