Farewell, thou good and faithful skip

At long last the skip has been removed, and sadly there will be no more skips. Unfortunately, there is quite a lot of rubbish left behind which we need to get rid of before we can use the site for storage of wheelbarrows. If you live close to the allotments or have transport, we would be very grateful if you could help by removing some of this rubbish and disposing of it either by taking it to the tip or by putting it in your regular rubbish bin at home.

If you now have anything on your plot you need to get rid of, then there are several ways to do so.

If it is compostable (and this includes paper and cardboard) you can compost it on your own plot, which is the best option, or, if this is not possible, put it into one of the communal composters.

Any burnable material, such as prunings, raspberry canes, brambles, twigs, branches, old wooden stakes, bed-edges etc. should be put on the wood pile in the middle of the wildlife area; we will have a regular bonfire to get rid of it, and there will probably be some good wood-ash to use afterwards.

If you have any materials, plants etc. which you no longer need and which you think other plotholders might be able to make use of, please send me an email with details and leave the stuff at the end of your plot next to the path. I will send out a general email letting others know it is there. If, after a reasonable time, no-one else wants it then please dispose of it yourself.

Please do not put any more rubbish on the skip site from now on.

Best wishes

CAAS Committee Chairman
