Define 'northwest', whats your operating radius.

We have horse poo coming out of our ears here in Linconshire, I know of at least three places that will be glad for you to pull up in a 3 tonne dropside and take away a load, shovel it yourself.

thanks,but if you read my post again,I am after a delivery for everyone to share,I want to pay for someone to deliver it to us (in Liverpool) not to hire a flat bed (or any other type of vehicle) and shovel it myself

yea, thats the snag,  people with flatbacks dont want horse poo in them, and to hire a flatback and pay someone to shovel it for you makes it uneconomic. What you need is a farmer with a trailer and a JCB, not too far away.

Just a thought. Do you have police horses stabled in the city, if you do perhaps the company that transports the muck away might be able to help.

I thought after I posted that the stuff might be a bit ripe. But the carrier might point you in the right direction.

I only mentioned the racecourse because Lincoln and Market Rasen racecourse both bag up there poo, you bring 20 empty bags, take 20 full bags away.

Its a great idea,I get stuff just for our plot from a stable round the corner,what Im after is a massive load for fifty plots to share,nnoying that i constantly have a banner stating 'get your manure from us in liverpool' flying above my every post,but they dont do it!
