Carole sent an email asking about storage heater bricks:

does anyone know what to do with old storage heater bricks? Just had 4 old heaters taken out and I suspect the plumbers will just take the lot to the dump so want to see if I can save them and reuse them or find somewhere that can recycle them.

In one of my past lives, I was a labourer, helping renovate student houses during a summer holiday, and we had to remove some storage heaters once and let me tell you, those boys are HEAVY.

As a minimum, I’d offer them on Freecycle/Freegle in case someone can use them … for something. The only thing I can think of on this delightful Monday morning is infill for landscaping but I’m sure there are more useful reuses for them than that…

Any ideas? What about recycling options?
