    mini skip or skip bag,or call a recycling man with a van (golden pages or any local newspaper/free adds paper) and have them taken away.

    Its illegal to dump, like what you are suggesting.

    Big fine if you are caught.

    Or you could use them for drainage - if your lawn is mossy, dig up the mossy part to about two feet deep, and put the stones in, then fill the earth back and re-sow.

    Or the basis for a path too. These stones are valuable drainage tools!

    How many stones of what kind of size? I'm looking to build a dry stone-esqe wall in my garden.

    i do agree with this person, these stones will come in very handy if you find out you have a wet laiden area, if you are putting a clothese line in, you could have a pathway of them, dig the line of walk for 18 inches down, fill in with stones, put earth on top, this place will remain nice and solid during winter no sinking,
