How to get rid of unwanted soil??

tizzle6560

Can anyone recommend any companies or ways to get rid of 2 quite large bags of unwanted garden soil? (Please no flytipping gags)

After digging out the veg patch and flower beds we have a surplus of soil that we do not need. Council will not take it away i've been told.

Thanks in advance!

If it's bagged, freecycle/similar. Advertise it as having come from your veg bed so people will know it's "nice soil" and not mangy !!!!.

Not sure what size bags you have but I have used a skip bag from a local company in the past.
It was £5 for the bag and £40 for collection.

If you already have a builders/1 tonne bag, they will just charge for collection.

You can get a hippo bag from most DIY stores but local waste companies tend to offer a cheaper service.
