What To Do With Dirty Weeds

You know the type that if they go on the compost heap, they just wait to multiply and spread elsewhere when the compost goes back on the garden. I have usually put a small bag of such weeds in with the weekly rubbish collection but probably won't be able to do that soon with a change in rubbish collections. I also read that buried weeds don't break down when buried in landfill sites. Every council 'tip' that I have 'done business with' has a green garden waste skip. If your normal refuse collection won't take it - and ours won't, there is nothing to prevent you taking it to the 'tip'. Our 'local' tip is nine miles away and I'm happy to make that journey. 'Did it twice last Thursday. -- The tip on the Isle of Wight is nothing less than superb. A couple of years ago the marshalling area was rebuilt. Reverse your car to any one of about 8 or 9 skips with notices on them. 'Metal', 'Paper', 'General Waste', 'Wood' etc etc. Carry on pass these skips, which incidentally are below you so you drop the stuff in as opposed to lifting it up over, and you come to an area for green waste where they have a massive shredder!! They use a JCB with a bucket to load the stuff and it chucks the shredded stuff up into an open barn to a heap 20 - 25ft high!! Steams well!! And opposite this are other skips for hard core. Been using this latter facility a lot as no one wanted the hard core around my area. I was even offered some this afternoon by a neighbour ;-{. Anyone visiting the Island this year, come and visit our re cycling area!!!!! Mike -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Forthcoming reunions.
