Been clearing the garden up....lots of pruning.....ended up with a big heap and still got loads to prune/cut down.

Ive been wondering over the weekend how to get rid of it....seeing as the council now charge £40/yr for a green wheelie bin that gets emptied once fortnight....at that rate it'll take until christmas to get rid of the stuff.
Skip? That'll be the best part of £150....
Garden waste removal services....around £250 id guess
I know....burn it! 

Off to B&Q (only diy shop that seems to be open today) to buy an incinerator.... £20 

Gets back home to find next door neighbour has just put washing on her line 

I'll wait until 6pm, (local bylaw prohibits bonfires before 6pm) then knock on her door and politely inform her im about to light a bonfire 

Well thats tea break over with.....back to the garden now

Our brown wheelie bin gets emptied once a fortnight too, but is part of a set of four provided by the council. What doesn't go/fit in the brown bin goes over the fence

We live in a no smoke zone , guessing that burning rubbish is illegal  although next door does burn garden waste late at night .

Iirc that included burning late at night,can be done for it if reported to council

I think he tries to burn grass cuttings as it stinks and smokes really bad

Can you not bag it up and take it to your local recycling centre?
