Some councils offer a subsidy so you can get it cheaper.

Or join justfortheloveofit.org it's all about free economy and doing things for other people for free, some one may be happy to take some off your hands.

Or freecycle it,same idea as freeconomy but is aimed at reducing the amount of unwanted things going to landfills by finding it new homes for free.

Or find your local soup kitchen, they may take it off your hands, I found thru-care in Nottingham:

Answer 3

well in suffolk we have things called bins mate, its them plastic things with 2 wheels that hang around the garden, nooooooooooo not granny on her frame the other ones...

Answer 4

rubbish bin?

Answer 5

if still frozen - neighbours or family - if defrosted - put in black bin bags ready for bin men

Answer 6

the rubbish bin is the worst place

70% of all landfill contamination relates to organic material

if it is still good have a dinner party for the poor or give it to a local soup kitchen

if it has gone of a little

animals .like dogs or pigs is the best idea, (any body with a pig will be very happy to get free food )

if it is bad the best place is the compost heap

a general note on compost

bones,tree trunks,cardboard,eggshells ,leaves,kitchen waste,food scraps,newspaper,

kitty litter ,any organics banana skins ,nutshells ,saw dust,vegetable cuttings

All can be put on the compost heap

as long as you seal it with a covering of leaves .or put a piece of plastic on top ,

keep it moist and in the shade ,it will then get hot enough to kill all parasites

the worms will develop,and take care of everything ,the moisture helps decomposition

the plastic keeps in the moisture and protects the worms from predators .like chickens ,birds armadillos,and even dogs .i have seen going in to eat my worm culture

you could add a bit of lime now and again

to make the process more potent

HOW

make the compost in a shallow hole ,so that it retains more humidity,

about 2 square meters is good ,and have it under a tree or put a little roof over it,which does not have to be water proof ,so a palm thatch is enough,

and make sure the garden sprinkler gets there or spray some water on it ,at least once a week,don`t have it water logged or the worms will drown or leave

NOTE

food scraps are better if kept apart to feed to a pig or chickens or dogs depending on the food scraps

if one puts these things in the compost these animals ,(if allowed )will go into your compost .

also the rate of decomposition depending on temperature and moisture ,stipulates what can all go in your compost heap .

In Mexico where it is very warm ,with lots of bugs of all descriptions ,we can put a tree trunk in the compost and in 6 months it is gone completely ,there is also a much longer vigorous decomposition ,there is no winter to slow things down.and we continues add huge amounts of green matter such as banana stems

and leaves (each banana plant dies after making bunch)coconut palms (they drop all the time)

and cuttings ,the heap goes up and down ,and in 7 years has never grown ,it is like a hungry all consuming hole that has no limit to its appetite.

the base is one meter into the ground and i have never got round to cleaning it .although it has a lot of compost in it by now

you woke up a lot of ignorant people with this question.

Answer 7

Just throw it in the high street nobody will notice.

Answer 8

put it in someones compost bin

Answer 9

Ring your local nacdonalds.They actually sell it and you may even turn a profit
