How do I get shot of a garden roller?
As title. Have a smallish but bloody heavy old garden roller which I need to get rid of.
Any suggestions?
Too heavy really to get into back of my estate. Perhaps I am stuck with paying council to collect?

Thanks guys. Burying it, now there's a thought......
Defo not water filled and I have tried a couple of local ads for "FOC - Buyer Collects" but no takers.
Looks like a call to council. Haven't seen a rag and bone man for years (or his horse)

We're selling our house at the moment and it's the folk moving in who said they wanted it taken away even though I had said it was included in sale.
Might give scrappie a call but doubt if he would come out to collect it. It's just an old fashioned roller just like a smaller version of the ones you see on cricket pitches. Certainly not water filled and I could probably take it to bits if I could unscrew 60 year old rusty bolts! Perhaps It has a lump of concrete inside for weight?

You must have owned my house before me Was digging over a bit of the garden and preparing to put in a short run of fencing when I hit something solid. Dug around it an eventually managed to haul it out, roller bit of a garden roller, **** knows where the handle had gone. It seems to be made out of solid concrete and probably had metal around the out side of it though most of it had corroded away. Still sat down the end of the garden waiting for me to manhandle it into the car and take it down the tip. Think I might trying hitting it with the sledge hammer a few time to see if I can make it more manageable

My son is coming over from Dublin in a couple of weeks so I plan to ask him and a couple of his mates to roll it up a plank into the back of my estate. Well that's the plan anyway
