Trailer for the Gardener.

It appears we cannot obtain the Matricular (number plate) for the Gardeners trailer as Pepe says there is no paperwork for it.

Pepe has hired a skip from the Company Juanmi for the Gardener to use.
These skips cost 60 Euro each to hire and do not take very long to fill with garden rubbish.

I have investigated the cost of buying a brand new all steel trailer. These range in price from 250 Euro for a small one up to 799 Euro for a large one. A medium sized trailer suitable for our needs would cost 499 Euro.

At the next Committee meeting I will be proposing we buy a new trailer, on the grounds that it would be more cost effective than renting skips every couple of weeks. i.e 10 skips over 20 weeks @ 60 Euro per skip = 600 Euro.

The question was raised at a recent Committee meeting about investigating the possibility of a regular "green" skip free through the scheme run by the Town Hall. However as far as I have been able to determine, Mi Sol is not eligible for this.
