have you tried asking your local council? I did a drive around in my local area and found a stable site and asked him nicely. he said he will put some aside. i was expecting a small pile to fill a few bags but horses do work hard becuase it was one big smoking pile!  :ohmy:  :lol:

see if you have any horse stables locally within a 10 or 15 mile radius. i believe they have to pay to get rid of it due to environmental reasons so they might give it away for free. if you have a few horse stables then ask them all to put it to one side and you all will come down to take it away.

or get a group together and drive around finding them, or google horse stables in <your area> leaving signs in cafe's, news agents or post offices that you will collect manure to ring the phone number.

hope that helps

Remember to check the manure for aminopyralid contamination using the "bean" test.
