I've got a couple of tons you can *have* if you collect it. About 10 miles south of Reading.

Try Fleetwood Grab Hire in Reading and speak to Des (Soz, haven't got the number to hand). They were the cheapest for scalpings when I phoned around. Its a shame as a while ago they took about 15 tonnes from my front garden and that was clean stuff ...
