What's the best way to get rid of this concrete I dug out of the garden box? The Yaris is not really up to hauling it away. Unless there's someone on KB that would like to make a few bucks to take it away for me?

Pry up a few of those fence rails and lob it through. Throw some lawn clippings on top to help with the neighbor's aesthetics afterwards I guess :shifty:

You didnt think about that before you dug it up?

Pretty sure someone in Christchurch would want it... they have loads of rubble lying about, they must like it.

Check out the concrete recyclers around town. I'm not sure if they collect though these days.

invirowaste will take it as hard fill, from memory its $120 a tonne and thats cheaper than a 3m hard fill skip.
other wise if you want I can run over it with my 30 tonne compactor and muss it down into the dirt for you..

Not a bad idea actually. I'll use the flat pieces to lay a stone path up against the house so I'm not walking in mud during the winter. Then lay the rest up against the fence and pour potting mix into it. I've got some rockery mixture seeds and some already gown in pots. Will see how it goes. :)

Throw it over the fence. It's probably easier if you live next to an empty squat though.

Dig a hole in your lawn ... and bury it. You end up with more dirt for the garden.

Put it on the kerb with a pricetag on it, someone will steal it overnight. Worked for my old fridge/freezer :Punk:

Build a fort in your front yard and stick a confederate flag up the top.

Use it and build a rock garden.

Just finished doing that as a winter project. Decided to build a new retaining wall and a bike shed. problem was breaking up the old drive before I could start anything, so I set to work with a sledge hammer initially, then, after I stuffed up my elbow I bought a jack hammer. Got that done and used much of the rubble as back fill for the retaining wall, Then used most of the rest to build up rockeries alongside the drive. Finished the concreting and after three months of working alone the whole thing is all up and running. The last bits of old concrete will be used up for other rockeries around the garden, I've got an acre of it so no problem in getting rid of it all. Now I need a month's rest to recover. Who said you can take it easy when you retire, Maybe I will, but only when I get old.:laugh:

Dunno if they're still in existence as a tip though. I was under the impression that the old fellas who ran the place have sold up.

To his credit there was an apologetic post.

You should have advertised it on Trademe as a kitset driveway.
