Storing rubble on garden - compaction risk?

[Ed_]

My developer neighbour has demolished their properties and have asked if they can store their crushed rubble temporarily on my garden.

My garden is bare earth, as i have just demolished myself.

 

I would like to be helpful, but i am wary that they are a commercial developer and once i say yes they will crack on without necessarily much regard for my garden long term. Obviously i will require that they place boards down to keep the rubble separate from the soil, but is there a risk of compacting my soil? I just don't have a feel for what depth might be ok?

It is not the compaction risk that would put me off, it's what they leave behind when they take it.  So I would say no.

I would say no too. However much you trust the person you are dealing with, inevitably it will be delegated.

Mess, compaction and the risk that they don't get round to clearing it when you want / properly  / ever.

And who will agree the before / after condition and what happens if you aren't content.

If they offer £500 then that may be another matter.   The cost to them of a grab lorry twice would  be more.

 

Will  your insurance will cover it?  I doubt they would approve.   

Sorry but....You have taken advice from industry experts  is the easy response....

What do you need from them. 
if nothing then no, if you need access or use of an excavator for a couple of days then yes, use this to your advantage.

There are a number of things we can work together on, and I like to have an IOU in hand just in case.

However i have said no - thanks for all the advice which prompted deeper thinking.

Their site is a former depot / car garage and i didn't fancy the rain water run off from their newly crushed concrete garage floor going into my garden, which made it a definite no.
