This needs to be sorted through & separated into:

– Stuff that has value…

– Do we keep it? Where & How? Do we sell the rest? To Whom?

– Store the stuff to be kept in a safe & rational manner

– Worthless, worn-out stuff.

Commodore or Works and ways / training.

Remove to by the skip ‘til there is time/resources to load it in efficiently.

Getting full use [full value] from the Skip:

This is costing the club almost £400, so it needs to be filled carefully to fill it

thoroughly.

– Pack it carefully so gaps & voids are minimised.

– Nothing must project above the metal sides of the skip; otherwise, the supplier will not take the skip away.
