FREE: Top soil for collection

As a result of levelling our back garden, we have quite a lot of top soil to get rid of. We’re throwing in the worms too.

Experts tell me it’s good soil, and certainly things grow fast in it.

You’ll need to collect it ASAP from Forest Hill, SE23.

If we can’t give it away by 14 Aug, it’s going in a skip…

I’m guessing we have at least one large skip’s worth - so you’d need
a van or several trips in a pick up to clear it, but all collections
(large or small) are welcome.

I gave some away a couple of years back and advertised it on the se23.com forum and Freecycle.

It’ll go quickly if you advertise widely, especially if you can bag some up in small amounts (old compost bags are good).

Hi, is this still available to collect, please? We could collect some this weekend - have car but would have to work out containers!

Hi Tom,

Sorry for slow reply.

Yes - we still have plenty!

I’m going to be out from c. 1100 tmw (Sun) but someone will be in so it shouldn’t be a problem.

Rubble/refuse bags is probably easiest container. A chap came today and used them to good effect!

If not tmw, one night in thr week may work or failing that I’m sure we will still have some for next w/e.
