There is a local firm who would recycle it, I think, but there is too much to fit in our car, and hiring a van would cost another £60.

Added to which, we won't even have the car next week as it's in for repair. Meanwhile the livingroom is unusable due to the amount of boxes there.

To say this is all keeping me awake at night is an understatement.
