Hi all,

When we moved in to our new house we discovered a mound of rubble on the other side of our (collapsing) back fence. We'll have to get it moved in order to fit a new fence so I've started to uncover it, and it seems mostly to be a mix of broken paving, breeze blocks and concrete.

View media item 104995
Is this the kind of material we could give away to builders or amateurs undertaking projects, or are we going to have to pay someone to dispose of it properly?

In other words, is it likely to be useful to anyone?

Thanks in advance!

Facebook often has "free hardcore" to be given away. Don't know if it goes?
Maybe bagging it would help, although people might be wary incase you've stuffed dodgy stuff in the bottom?
You could walk around the area and if you spot a skip, ask the householder if you could use their skip for a donation?

Could get some odd responses too. :LOL:
 
you can use modest amounds of clean broken brick and concrete in fencepost holes, or as part of the base for a path or patio, well bashed-down.

But there's not much call for it, and if it is contaminated with soil, vegetation, wood or plaster, it is not suitable.
 
Bagged inert waste can usually be disposed of at the local recycling centre, however that has currently been suspended as the place it goes to is also on lockdown.
Or offer it on your local Freegle group, someone may be putting down a hard base and welcome the free hardcore.
 
Locally, one of the waste companies has a free skip for clean hardcore, you just need to transport it.
