Recycling god I'd pay someone.

I'm disabled but have been trying to sort out two bedrooms. I've not needed clothes, rarely used single duvets in a guest room where I've bought a double bed so don't need them. I've broken, outgrown toys that the grandchildren no longer want.

I've four adults staying this weekend so am buying new bedding for one bedroom which the grandchildren use.

Round here it's one place for clothes, another for bedding, the rest going to the tip. So three different places in three areas.

I'm just looking at all the black sacks thinking how the heck do I get them down two steps along the passage, up five steps to where the car is, drive to three locations and hump them in while using a stick.

What I wouldn't give for a man in a van who could sweep them away.

No wonder people hoard sigh,.....

Should I just suck it up and crack on?

And get one of the adults to help load the car

You could definitely pay for disposal but they'd probably just chuck it all away. Does the tip not have clothes recycling bins too? Mine has charity and textile bins.

Is there any charity which would take the stuff that's not for the tip?

Can't your visiting adults do a dump run for you?
