removal
just a quick query, how did you remove your donor shells? ive got a sierra to get rid off, the local dump just says leave it there and theyll sort it
out, so all thats needed is to get it there. know any prices for removals? could it do it myself with a trailor?

One outfit said that they would remove my Sierra shell for nowt but never turned up, despite repeated phone calls over a week. To please totherarf I
used a breakers that wanted £20 to shift it, it was removed that afternoon.
Being without wheels we had fun dragging it down the path and onto the back of the waggon on my sons skate board, trolley jack and base of a Machine
Mart engine stand though!!
I think that there's not much incentive to turn up if they don't charge for removal.
Cheers,
Colin

If the trailer is big enough, and you can back it up close to the shell, then of course you can. If you were to say what area you were in it might
just be that someone knows someone in your area who could help. Small chance maybe but got to be worth a try?

Cut the roof off mine the cut it into quarters, then used a trailor to take it to the local scrap merchant (not scrapyard).
Could have weighed it in but I just wanted rid of it.

I carved mine up into handy sized pieces with a 9" angle grinder as i took parts off, then just took the bits to the tip and threw them in the scrap
metal skip.

i got a scrappy to pick mine up for 50 quid.
i didnt think it was worth the hassle to cut up a whole car.
the dumps in northants seem to have a thing against dumping at the moment. A guy next to me a week ago was warned that he was dumping too much carpet
- it was just a car load.
Its no wonder so much shyte is dumped around the roads of northants.
What kind of cretin restricts what you can dump at a dump?
You can be fined 20k for dumping outside the dump gates, but only 2.5k if you dump dangerous waste. Well considered strategy by northants council i
think.

The way things are in Northants at the moment I rekon the best way is to push it into the street and report it as dumped outside your house. The
council seems to be taking great delight in telling us how quickly they now remove and crush untaxed or dumped cars.
However if they noticed that it was stripped and not worth anything they probbaly wouldnt bother.
I paid a tenner to get rid of my last shell to Charlie Perkins it took him two weeks to pick up but he told me that at the time i called him.

isnt charlies yard the one by the A14 that used to be closed (or still is) to the public? The scrappy just down the road from you took my fifty quid
no probs!
Ecton lane, that is the road running para to the A45 near billing, is a fantastic dumping ground. Although there is a dump at the end of it (!) the
road is nicknamed my me and my mates 'sarajevo'. Its full of dumped burned out cars and flytipping. You never know whats around the corner - its
friggin dangerous. If its got anything to do with the travellers camp, I dont know.
