Getting junk down steps

[endecotp]

I will soon be getting a skip to remove a couple of years’ worth of renovation debris, mainly scrap timber.

Unfortunately it all has to go down the steps in the picture, plus another short flight.

I have been trying to invent efficient ways to do this, but most of my ideas so far have flaws e.g. they are horrifically dangerous.

What would you do?

Err, carry it down?

Too obvious, and too much like hard work

Advertise scrap timber for firewood, collection only .( Lots of wood burners out there )

OP,
Carry debris down in small, half filled rubble tubs - one in either hand then tip straight into the skip.
And, as above, advertise wood as free firewood.
Dont attempt to use a wheelbarrow.

Yes I have previously had people collect wood, but I’ve ended up helping them to carry it anyway…

You’re all so sensible (and thanks for that). Friends in pub suggested sledge, shopping trolley, drone etc. etc. One friend owns a donkey!

Rip of OSB, plywood or chipboard with a length of 4 x 2 CLS screwed to each side, left and right, to form a chute. Works on building sites for mortar, screed, rubble, etc

Fasten into bundles, and lower out of a window. Someone at the bottom, to disconnect?

Oooh, it’s my birthday soon….

I feel that with the gradient of these steps, putting e.g. a chunk of scrap floorboard on such a chute wouldn’t actually slide. It would need some sort of sledge.

I could have done it myself by now.

Timber on timber does slide, especially if you break down stuff to sufficiently snall pieces. Done enough ripping out on listed buildings to know that. Better if you can have one person at the top of a slide and another at the bottom, though
