Disposing of "rubble"
I am soon going to be getting rid of what I can only describe as a "rockery" in my front garden and was wondering if anyone can tell me the best way to get rid of the stones, concrete, cement etc from this (and the cheapest)

Re: Disposing of "rubble"
The best way I have found to clear garden of rubble that is environmentally friendly ,is to pour a kettle of boiling water on them it kills down to the soil.

Sorry, just couldn't resist.

Re: Disposing of "rubble"
there is quite a lot really, well there will be when ive done, and some of it is quite big stones, just dont know what to do with it, to be honest i think i will be wasting my time ringing the council, they will only take 3 stones a month or something lol

teh RSjs will go on freecycle, they are always in demand.

Last skip I got was an 8 tonne one and was ~£170.
