rosaespanola Posted May 3, 2009 Share Posted May 3, 2009 I've been doing a lot of chopping stuff down in my garden and I'm wondering about getting hold of one of those metal oil drums so I can burn it. Does anyone know where I could get hold of one cheaply or free? Before anyone mentions it, I do know about the green bags scheme and I have 6 bagfuls of stuff to get collected, but one of the things I was chopping down was a large prickly evil thing and after trying to wrestle bits of it into a bag I realised it was futile because it just kept catching on the bag and shredding it (and me) so I think burning it is the only way to go (although I may just be trying to get my revenge for all the damage it's done to me while I was cutting it down!).
