Garden Waste
I am planning to get rid of some garden waste involving a wooden fence and the greenery attached to it. I have looked at hiring a skip for 2 days as advised by the gardener, but the cost seems very high ( I am in a neighbouring borough) as it involves a skip licence as well as a parking suspension permit.
A better option could be a waste disposal service pick up. Does anybody have any personal recommendations?

Hi Geraldine, thanks for this.
. Wonder if my council would collect as "bulky"from my front garden.
I guess this is how you used the bags?

Hi, Tris, thanks for the rec.
I do not envisage soil, just branches and the wooden panels from the fence.
I am calling my council on Monday to see if these qualify as "bulky waste" and if they would collect it.

Thanks Geraldine. Didn't know about these and they seem to be a great option.

just hire a 'man and van' to take it to the nearest recycling centre - or get a zipvan and do it yourself

Gumtree is probably your best bet. You'll find tonnes of disposal ads and I wouldn't expect to pay more than £50 tops.

Hi, you could chop it into pieces and place bits in your ‘general waste’ each week. This week I got rid of an old kitchen unit by cutting into dustbin sized with a jig-saw (only tywo-three cuts). This is free, dousn’t Involve any addition road miles as the cart was coming anyway. General waste is burned in an efficient and (relatively) environmentally friendly incinerator. You are perfectly entitled to put ‘anything that cannot be recycled’ into your general waste. Even if you have to buy the saw for the job, probably a worthwhile investment for next time.
Please don’t use a ware disposal service unless they prove they will use a proper dump, very likely fly tip.
