We have one I use for 'noxious' waste like that. Forgotten what it is called 'green dome' or something I think. I use it for potato and tomato hulms, odd things like badly mangled pigeons the raptors leave, and occasionally bones, so would do the trick. The bottom is dug into the ground and the dome rises to best part of 3' high. The object is to get the stuff in it to completely break down and it seems to work with the amount I put in it, which can be a lot when digging potatoes, but not too much the rest of the year. We had to put mesh at the bottom to stop the rats, but once that was done, it seems to sit there quite happily. Not a good way to get compost, but a good way to get rid of the nasty unwanted stuff.
I tear up cardboard and also compost the shredded paper we produce, but make sure it doesn't form a layer or it tends to just sit there in a normal compost heap. Spread it in with green stuff and it breaks down all right.
Sympathise with you about lack of foresight with the waste companies. I know Devon lanes and they terrify me with a car. We at least have hedges, while yours have granite rocks in them, so nowhere to hide, and a bulky lorry can't force a way through. |
