I hate to tell you this smon but we dump better timber than that week in week out
not a lot of people want timber these days
i get rid of a fair wack over the allotments, all the old boys love it for fences sheds etc
but the days when people's dads built stuff in their workshop are over
good luck anyway

Tony well i do sort of have to dissagree on this one its going quite well i have to say slow at times (when its raining) but i suppose we have shifted around an artic load so far...

but having said that what surprises me is the distance some come for it... canvy island, wembly, brixton, is just a few places, but its going and its going to be used so all good...

anyway i still have plenty if any takers ...

Glad to see it's not been wasted it would be such a shame if it were burnt or went to landfill

Try Freecycle, (uk.freecycle.org) in some area (like Cambridge) most items you put up are taken without a day, in Stockport it can take a few days to get rid of items. (Even old bricks and paving slabs are known to be taken of my hands for free)

I was a moderator for luton's freecycle when it first started
it was good at first but in the end it was full of no-marks asking for lap tops and mobile phones
what connects stockport and luton ringi?
apart from the fact i have family in both

I'm on freecycle, not as good as it was 5 years ago.
Like you say too many people asking for luxury good.
Too many no shows when you give stuff away.
I still do it though, I just set my expectations lower.

the original group that i was part of was good, i got rid of lorry fuls of unwanted timber etc etc
but probably around 5 years ago it all went bad after a press article saying "get stuff for nothing then sell it on ebay"

I had loons asking for every single thing on offer and crossposting wanted ads to every group in a 50 mile radius
I gave up after i gave away my daughter's buggy and saw it 30 minutes later on ebay for £20
was taking me 2-3 hours a day dealing with all the no shows and people spamming the lists
so i chucked that and came on the brew cabin instead

normally the forum/group owner asks for unpaid help due to the volume of eejits and spammers
its more a vocation than anything

Be under no illusion, it's not as glamourous as it sounds!! Clearing spam threads as you sip your morning cuppa at 5.30am isn't always great!
