Help me please to dispose of a black bin bag

Options
Normally I wouldn’t ask but I’m at a loss with how to get rid of a bin and stuck in a tree. Any slight wind and it’s so noisy especially at night. Probably around 12-14 metres up in the tree.

Any advice as to how I can get it down? Have thought about fly fishing…… 😆

  • We had a similar problem a while back with a carrier bag. Fortunately it was from Waitrose and the bag was very thin and it eventually blew away but it did take a couple of months. If you can't reach it easily with a ladder or a rope then I don't think there are many people who will volunteer to climb up and retrieve it...so you are probably stuck with it for a while.

    Does anybody have some (really) long extensible loppers?
    Or maybe even a window cleaner?

    Long bamboo canes lashed together to make a long enough stick to poke it free?

    Tie a string around a small rock and hurl it repeatedly. Set a cordon, and wear a helmet.

    Make it a competition - the winner gets bought a pint by the survivors.

    Great suggestions all - thanks! I’m not sure the dog, although now passed, would enjoy being thrown in their final resting place 😆
