There are alternatives, such as charity shops, car booting and maybe something like Ebay. Placing an advert in a free ads paper maybe a way of passing soil and rubble on. Another alternative is to use a organisation which has a local base in Norfolk called Norfolk freecycle which can be reached by the following link ; http://groups.yahoo.com/group/norfolkfreecycle The group is free to join and use and everything on it, has to be free. I have seen just about everything offered and wanted, from cars to cardboard boxes, it's a good place to try and pass things on rather than dumping it even if they are broken quite often someone, somewhere will find a use for it. Doing nothing is not an option    Report

They also have a stall in Gentlemen's Walk on the 8th of each month - I was delighted to see their stall last week - and helped myself to some old binders and pocket files as I knew some people who needed them.    I wonder if they have a use for an old computer printer which has just packed up and has been replaced - the cartridges are new anyway!   Lynda  Technology is great when it works.    Report
