"A familiar scenario and one I've experienced. It's so frustrating when you can see what needs doing right there and you know very well that if the offical people (eventually) do it they'll make a mess of the job you would do properly. "

"We can get rid of 1 ton for £40 at a composting place that is 9 miles away.  I think we will go for £360 all in. We've got a good shredder that reduces the volume.  "

"Less than a days work I would say for 1 person, so £360 sounds high. Although £40 for diisposal sounds low, depending on how much you are taking off. If say going to 6ft that will be quite a bit to take away."
