You could ask some of your neighbours if they could spare a bit of space each in their recycling bins? If it doesn't get rid of enough you'll probably just have to get rid of a binful at a time till it's gone. Not ideal but free.

Failing that, collar the binmen when they next come round. Ours are always very obliging when we have extra stuff to get rid of.

As a last resort, save up and pay the £25. It's not a huge amount of money and would save tremendous hassle for you.

I'm surprised they're asking you for money though as HBC offer up to five extra collections per household per year for nothing. Do you fall within the purview of Blackburn Council, Shaz?
