    Hi Folks

    Would anyone have any contact details for Muck Heap Disposal in County Wicklow? Either collection from yard or for me to drop off in trailer?

    Based in Redcross

    Thanks
    Conor

    From horses bedded on shavings.

    Currently using skip bags to store heap and having them lifted out and dumped in with cattle muck but this only short term solution and need to find a permanent regular option. Either through removal of the bags or will use trailer as Heap and dump at location when full

    Thanks

    Sounds like hardship. Can you not put into trailer straight away or else have small dungstead and ask local farmer to pick up occasionally. I know if I was close, i might use it on a veg garden I have.. Is there none local to you. Is it very woody or mostly poo.

    It takes about 3 months for the shavings to rot down and use on beds. During that time it's using the nitrogen in the dung. Would be good for fertiliser thereafter.

    Ya used to be based in Blessington and Equiskips took it and sent on to Mushroom farms but he doesn’t cover down this way. At the moment we load it into 2 tonne skip bags and local dairyman takes it with loader into his muck heap but he can’t take it come winter and want to be able to dump it when suits me instead of having to ask him to come down. Ideally looking for someone with a heap I can dump into so I can just use trailer as muck Heap and drive it down to offload when full
