We have 3/4 meter of builder's sand I bought some years ago for a sandpit. I want to get rid of it. What to do with it? We're in West Auckland

Whatch The Shawshank Redemption, It shouldn't take you more than a year or two to get rid of it using that method,

I'm sure if you list it on Trade Me someone will be happy to take it away and make a use of it

OP do you have a garden , if so just spread it then dig it in , good for braking up glay based soils , but will help any garden as it helps the roots grow as the soil does not compact as much , with the extra sand it it , also helps the soil drain more . Cheers .

Use it to level hollows and dips in your lawn. I think most grasses will grow up through it.

You don't need to rent it, it's on continuous loop on TV 2

You could take it on a trip to a beach.

Drill a big hole in boot of your car & load it in & go for a long drive .

Good idea but your car would be better to use. there'll be a handy rust hole in it.

Ring a kindy in or close to your neighbourhood and see if they want it.

Try your local garden center, might be able to swap it for something useful.

Just wait for a windy day and chuck it up in the air. 1 or 2 handfuls at a time, it doesn't matter.

I'll wait until the wind is blowing in the direction of the neighbour (s) we don't like.
