Hardcore to a base for something? Shed, Patio etc..?

I got rid of my load of bricks on freecycle, they went quite quickly.

Freecycle, you'll get someone come along and take them away quite happily.

As a pointer whenever I put something up on Freecycle I say when the item needs to go and I ask that people say when they can collect when replying. You don't have to offer to the first person that response, I go for the person who's emailed nicely and can collect when it suits me.

if getting rid via freecycle then try and keep the bricks intact rather than bashing them up with a sledgehammer.

[Piglet]

I suspect if you put on freecycle that some of the structure needed to be taken down then someone may well do it in exchange for taking the bricks. Shed's tend to get advertised on the basis that the taker must dismantle them.

Old reclaimed bricks can be worth upto a quid a brick, maybe more for blue bricks if they have the old compo chipped off. Ideally you'd need 800+ to start getting good money as that would be 2 pallets worth that would be able to be used to complete a small project.

If they are modern dull stuff, and there isn't too many of them, many quarry/tips (the tips for wagons, not refuse) will take them for free as they crush them and sell them on as 6F2, which is a cheapo fill material of pretty much crushed bricks, dirt, ancient cabling, and always a few tennis balls...

Put them outside the front of your house somewhere clearly visible from the road.
Put out a sign that says " Bricks for Sale £75"

Someone will steal them

Curiously, I put an old concrete coal bumker on Freecycle and got no takers.

I put it on ebay and got £25.

I was going to suggest digging a hole to put them in.
