Getting rid of garden waste

How are you all getting rid of garden waste?

I have been doing a lot of jobs in the garden in this lockdown and have accumulated 2 old fence panels, an old rusty collapsed oil barrel incinerator, heaps of soil, bricks and patio slabs etc, neighbour hates me burning anything, no tips open, can have a builders bag for £60 and they fetch it with a crane on a lorry but being the money saver I am I’m too tight to pay!!

Nothing to do but store it until tips are open again. Most charge to dispose of rubble/bricks etc, but you can advertise it as hardcore on freecycle sites. Paving slabs will be snapped up as hardstanding for sheds, bins etc.Scrap metal will  usually picked up for free.I've broken up fence panels to put in the base of deep raised beds - so wood and soil might go on free sites, too. Most will go if advertised on Facebook sites and if you can give contactless access, it might go before the end of lockdown!

We’ve hired a skip for ours (well, we’re on our third jumbo in a month, but we’ve just moved into a renovation project and have taken advantage of lockdown to gut it), it’s fairly cost effective if you have nowhere to store waste while you wait for refuse sites to open. It’s cheaper than any man with van quotes we had. Our problem now is the eighty million tonnes of plasterboard we’ve now got in the garden which aren’t allowed in the skip......
