    Hi

    I've got a large rug, bits of old carpet and some other bits & pieces I need to get rid of. I know I can take a trip to Kinsale Rd, but the problem is that the rug won't fit into my little hatchback!

    I called the council to see if they do bulky collections like in the UK, but they don't.

    Any idea how I can out these? I don't need a skip - there isn't enough for that. But I do need them out of the house!

    TIA :)

    ABove it true or what you can do is be like the pikeys and just dump you rubbish next to some bins belong to pubs.. The place across from the Venue seems to be a choice spot. They left a three piece suite there before and not a bother they picked it up...

    Being more helpfull though I would say chance the bin man too if you are around when they are im sure they would take it for you

    If it's a short trip, leave the boot open with the rug sticking out the back. Use string to tie the boot down as closed as it will go, secure the rug internally (so that it doesn't slide out the back when you stop/start), and cover the end with a luminous safety vest, and hang plastic bags at various points to make sure people can see it. Go in daylight!

    How about driving to the dump with the hatchback open and secured with a bunjy strap , You would be amazed with what you will fit, Most bin trucks have cctv cams on them now and its hard for them to take stuff that wont go in a wheely bin

    But check your motor insurance small print first.....I know of two claims declined because of 'extrusions'. Best saw it in half and get it to fit
