Spinny Posted February 20 Posted February 20 Have a load of offcuts of PIR insulation to be disposed of - can I just bag it and take it to the local tip ? (can't see any instructions on their website, and I know they get funny about plasterboard etc.)

JohnMo Posted February 20 Posted February 20 I waited until I had a skip full of stuff, off cuts of insulation, plasterboard and general building stuff.
saveasteading Posted February 20 Posted February 20 A few bags of small offcuts has no value. It will be buried or incinerated. Useful sizes of offcuts may be just what someone needs and save them a journey if free. But it would need photos. I'd be looking on 'marketplace'. Plus you get a gold star for encouraging reuse.
Spinny Posted Wednesday at 14:35 Author Posted Wednesday at 14:35 Thanks All. The main achievement of the last 3 years has been to transform a domestic house into a small building merchants ;0) 3
crispy_wafer Posted Wednesday at 14:50 Posted Wednesday at 14:50 Strangely satisfying though to see a pile of materials almost disappear as they are incorporated into the build. and yeah the odds and ends that need getting rid of when finished that particular task is a task in itself. PIR offcuts I bagged them, photo'd and listed on market place. £20 - take what you want sort of listing. Inundated by people wanting it for sheds and the like, they aren't fussy, foaming and taping it together... 3
Iceverge Posted 3 hours ago Posted 3 hours ago Some small lumps of insulation I found around I just tossed them into the sea of blown cellulose in the attic. They sit there little boats, reducing my energy loss by nanoWatts.
