I've got a large, old, falling down shed in my back garden.

Although not bursting with "stuff", it has got quite a bit of old junk (and
lots of old wood) in it.

I'm looking for someone who will take it down, and get rid of all the
rubbish - I don't think there's anything which would be of use to anyone
else in it, so it needs to be taken down the tip.

I'm in the Bristol area. Can anyone either recommend someone, or tell me
the best place to look? I don't know where to start! :-)

Thanks,
A.

Look for 'man with a van' ads? Or pay some students or similar a few quid to
demolish it and take it to the tip?

Word of caution here. I don't know how Bristol compares with the Isle of
Wight with regards to clearing rubbish, but,

1) If you take the stuff to the tip yourself in a car, i.e. bit by bit, no
problem.

2) If you take the stuff to the tip yourself in a van or car and trailer,
you "might" be deemed to be a trader and charged.

3) If you get one of those people who advertise in the local paper as "Humpy
Dump" or "Lift and Shift" (yes we have 2 who trade as that), they will
charge you not only to clear the stuff, but also the charge made by the tip
to dump it. I believe it is £75.00 per load but don't quote me on that, but
you are looking at somewhere in the region of £100.00 plus.

OR Take it all down yourself and have a bonfire with it. We are allowed to
have a bonfire, subject to very minimal local orders. A) Anytime you like,
but B) If it is causing an inconvenience or nuisance to you neighbours you
can be prosecuted, i.e. On a beautiful Saturday or Sunday Evening when
neighbours are having barbies :-((

Sorry, Should have made it clearer, we on the Isle of Wight have got minimal
bye laws re bonfires. 'Some' Authorities ban them at certain times or even a
total ban. Check your own area for this.

There's a company in USA which offers to take all your old rubbish and send
it to the moon - for a mere £3.25 million.
No? Oh well....... Have you other household bits and bobs you or a
neighbour want to get rid of - somebody near you doing DIY and chucking out
old 'stuff'? If so, why not share the cost of a skip between you, bearing
in mind that you need to fill it quickly before those who *aren't* paying
for it avail themselves of the opportunity!

You might find someone local doing woodcraft work. Some very good craft work
is done using well aged wood of all sorts. Trade the shed and other old wood
for the work.

Or all frigging Easter weekend, in our case. Two doors up and round
the corner removed a 40ft Leylandii hedge and burnt the bugger in the
back yard... There still seems to be a lot left, so I think it will
curse our weekends for some time to come. We're in a smoke free area.

I can see why they did it, the hedge was the southern boundary to
their property (its due north from us).

Sound advice, though as regards the bonfire, you have to have regular
bonfires for it to come under the offence of 'nuisance'.

Old sheds usually burn fiercely and with very little smoke anyway, so if
it really *HAS* to go, that's the way to do it.

Um, when's Bob-A-Job Week?

Unless you're a troll or a spammer, we don't do flames. Even then, we
tend to just KF and ignore.

You'd be quite safe, but you wouldn't get many serious answers.
