Where to get rid of old bath

[W200]

Hi.
Any ideas on where I might get rid of my old cast iron bath which I removed recently.It has been sitting in the front garden for the past few weeks where I hoped it might be spotted by a passing scrap metal collector but to no avail.
Regards.

What about architectural salvage yards near you? These get re-enamelled in the UK and re-sold for big bucks; very much in demand pre-crunch.

or turn it into a big planter...

Salvage yard the best bet, no good for scrap metal.
Maybe a farmer might take it off your hands for a water trough.
Funny seeing a herd of cows drinking out of a bath...!

Use their milk for cappucinos?

I agree with JMRC approach a local farmer and they should be only to willing to come and get it.

Also try freecycle, one mans rubbish is anothers treasure and all that

If you're in Dublin put it on Dublinwaste.ie's freecycle. [broken link removed]. Anybody who wants it will take it off your hands but you won't get any money for it. Although you will know that it least it's been recycled.

Last year I got rid of a bath, basin, toilet, kitchen sink unit, window and back-door. I would have had to get a skip to throw them out which would have cost me, instead I saved the money and they all went to people who were glad to have them - and who collected them from me.

Two things if you are putting up your bath on this site though - make sure you put it in the correct category, and also make sure you put up a picture (otherwise you'll never get inquiries)

Alternatively stick a sign on it saying Free To Take Away!

Or attach it to some railings with a bicycle lock
