Hope no rules are broken by asking, but if you are in the Essex area and have Lego needing disposal, please let me know?

Needed for a school architecture project, and funding is low

I will collect, of course!!!

You might struggle with this as LEGO has similar demand to gold wink ....therefore getting hold of free bricks is nigh on impossible.

What sort of volume are you looking at. We often have a large amount of damaged stuff floating about....

Have tried boating it directly with Lego?

Surely a good promotional oppertunity for them.

Not trying to make anything huge, enough to make a building the size of a small microwave?

Not worried about colours, might be nice to have some windows and roofing pieces?

Anything gratefully received

Small, independent school "out of the public eye" so no promo opportunity

But I will try them

Is funding non existant?

If not, you can get bulk lego on flea-bay for not a lot ...

Is a possibility, but as always there's competition for the budget!

Time for a jumble sale wink

It always was a good way to raise funds, especially for the school which had the facilities at no cost.
