Spare bricks how to get rid of them in Canberra?

Hang on to them. You never know when your 3yr old will roll your kombi van down the driveway and through a wall.

Not funny. This happened to friends, except the child was 6 years old and the van was a flash car. Ouch.

Have you tried the Canberra Brick Society? They have a regular swap meet somewhere in Yarralaumla (exact location escapes me) where they meet up and swap old and new bricks. I myself picked up a lovely 1928 “Reddie” to put in the garden. I am sure that they would gladly take them off your hands, possibly even for a fair price if your have any rare ones. There is another group in the southside but i would steer clear of them as there have been a number of forged bricks coming from that area.

You almost had me until the forged bricks.

I have some old “Canberra Bricks’ but they’re not very good and fall apart and I’m using them as fill.

Got kids ? Bricks make great punishment.

My partner was made to take the pile of bricks from one end of the yard to the other and stack them back up. Once done. He had to return them to their original ‘home’

Beats smackin 🙂

What did your partner do to deserve that? Normally Mrs Hagrid just calls me some lovely little pet names and tells me to cook dinner…

paint them yellow, make a road, and follow it..? say hi to the wizard for us (perhaps it’ll lead to door 4 at the wetlands…)

I managed to sell a pallet of bricks a few years back in the free CT classies (free as long as the sale price is $100 or less). Not sure if they still run that, otherwise, as noted try allclassifieds.

Yep, free CT classifieds worked fantastically for us. Managed to off load a heap of old red bricks in no time.
