You know when you get aggregates delivered they come in heavy duty 1 tonne sacks.

Well, is there anywhere mainstream to buy about 10 of these from? Empty of course.

We either sell unused ones, or as we recycle the used ones (Health and Safety only allow them to be used once, even though we used to get 4-5 trips out of them), we give the used ones away for free. But if you come for a couple of dozen used ones, you'll almost certainly get turned away. wink

Try a local farmer, many animal feeds are delivered in these nowadays, and from a biosecurity point they are not re-used again once they've been on a farm.

have a look where the builders are delivering them and ask the builder as these just get thrown away \ taking space in the skip.
Im sure they will just give you them gladly.
