How to dispose of old fence panels

 Doing some work in the garden will always most likely end up taking down an old fence. We all want a clean garden, which always means we want some privacy or to fox up some old or damaged fencing.

 If you are doing landscaping or a full garden clearance then you’ll need to what what’s best to do with any panels or fences .

 1. The first option will always be the local tip or recycling centre. There will be various waste you ahve that can be split up but the recycling centre or tip might not accept some things, depending on what you have. Some smaller panels, or items might be ok but the biggest obstacle will be fitting them in the car. Having a company like YourJunk with a specialised van or loading and tipping, takes care of size problems and damaging your own car, not to mention the time and multiple trips that it can take.

 2. If you plan on breaking up any wood and putting it in your waste bin, some treated wood can’t go so it’s always best to check but if it can, the bin can only take so much, and you need to wait on the next load. There isn’t much space to work with.

 3. Burning waste or wood is a big no, especially when you are a business. The fumes that it gives off means it’s not very good for the envirmoment so don’t be burring waste or wood.

 4. YourJunk is a big believer in recycling, and reusing but old fence posts wouldn’t serve much purpose but there are community gardens and projects that might welcome some fence panels if they can be re-used and not damaged.

 5. One of the options is hiring a skip but YourJunk is the alternative for getting a skip. Skips can be quite expensive and you’ll have the hassle of getting one, along with a permit so if it’s just panels then you wouldn’t need one. YourJunk can come and take away for cheaper than it costs to hire a skip.
