[Free] SOIL / MUD, Come get it.
I know it isn't a car part But might help someone else out as well, I have just had all the mud dug out of my garden, it is clay based, there is a tiny bit of rubble mixed in with a tiny amount of it as that was already in it in the ground. But it is FREE. Somewhere between 90-120 bags is what I have, all dug out by hand. People are welcome to take as much or as little as they want.
I am taking 10-20 bags per month dependent on finances to the tip. Will be a shame to empty my wallet taking this to a landfill when it could help someone out and cost me nothing
So if you want it, approximately 2 - 3 tons I believe is here, message me, and we will organise a day and time for you to come. (It is all bagged ready to go).
I am in Tunbridge Wells, Kent.
The sacks can be left out the front for a completely 0 contact collection if required.
Please come and get it
Advertised in all sorts of weird and wonderful places.

Couldn’t you use it to build a mud wall around your lovely neighbours drive ? I want to see the sweets before I get into your windowless van... I'm not stupid!

Sadly she doesn't have a drive, she lives in a studio flat. Doesn't even own a car. Was tempted to mix manure in with it and level out the communal garden under her window
But have to behave myself and get rid of it properly. Hoping it will end up on a building site where they need to fill in land etc... although really not fussed what the takers do with it. As long as it saves me paying for disposal.

How about doing a copy of the ‘Great Escape’ ?.... and loose the soil by hiding it in your trousers and going for a lot of long walks while letting it out down your trouser legs.

It has a kind of plausible logic to it!

Marking this as sold although not technically sold, All but the 7 bags already gone, the rest are actually being used to level off part of my rear garden as my next project. Ended up with more than initially advertised as well as I got rid of the other half of my front garden

That wouldn't work around here. However if it said, tools, please do not take, then they would have vanished quicker than an alcoholic could neck a bottle of vodka
