I'm not sure if this is the right place to put this; moderators, please feel move to the correct section.


Newbie gardener/DIYer here.


I live in a first floor flat of a Victorian conversion, with a small front garden that's overgrown with weeds. I want to dig out the flower(weed) bed and replace with gravel, take down the rotting picket fence on the half-wall, repaint, and generally tidy up.


My question is, what do you do with all of the rubbish and dug up topsoil? Do you pile it all on a tarpaulin and get Southwark Council round to haul it away? (I can't imagine my neighbours would take too kindly to a pile of dirt left on the pavement for days.) Buy one of those hippo bags from b&q? What do local car-less DIYers do? Even if you have a car, where do you dispose of green waste and wood? We're mid-terrace and don't have access to the back garden, so there's nowhere to put it all while we wait for it to be hauled away.


Any tips appreciated.

    • Aria replaced our stopcock valve as it started leaking over the weekend. Came to do the work on a Sunday, very responsive to messages and efficient work - explained what he was doing and what went wrong. Highly recommend!  
    • Brilliant emergency weekend service from Aria from AFE Plumbing to replace our stopcock valve as it started leaking heavily on Saturday. He explained everything clearly and completed the job efficiently. Kind and well-mannered, would highly recommend!
    • Hello everyone, We have lost our wonderful moggie, Cookie.  She's been missing for over a week now and was lost around the back of our house on rail track land around Croxted Road/Turney Road junction. Please do keep an eye out for her and if you see her please let us know urgently as she isn't familiar with the area at all, we are very worried.  She has a microchip (with my brother's contact details) She's black with ginger/brown markings, very distinctive. If you have had sightings of her or seen her at anytime please let do let me know, Henna 07941 047094 If you could post on your local/street groups too, I'd be very grateful. Thank you!
