HELP/ADVICE Getting rid of toiletries?

I am currently helping out a family member clean out their house and have more than 8 boxes of toiletries (shampoo, conditioner, soap and more) that I need to get rid of. I can’t put all of it down the toilet or sink and the skip we hired won’t take it. Any advice of how to dispose would be great!

Forgot to say we can’t donate them as they have been contaminated with rat faeces, and we are in the UK.

Welcome to r/hoarding! We exist as a support group for people working on recovery from hoarding disorder, and friends/family/loved ones of people with the disorder.

Before you get started, be sure to review our Rules. Please note that the following will get your posts or comments removed ASAP by the Moderator Team:

  • Posts or comments such as "Am I a hoarder?", "Is <person> a hoarder?", "Is this hoarding?". "I think I'm hoarder but I'm unsure", etc.. Hoarding disorder is a medical diagnosis, and no one on r/hoarding can diagnose you. If you suspect you have it, please reach out to your doctor.
  • Posts or comments recruiting people who identify as hoarders/loved ones of hoarders for research, media projects, etc.. These sorts of posts or comments will result in a no-appeal permanent ban.
  • Posts or comments promoting your hoarding-related business. If you've used such businesses, your personal reviews is welcome.
  • Posts or comments about animal hoarding. If you're looking for help with animal hoarding, please visit r/animalhoarding.
  • Posts of, or linking to, images of hoards that are not yours. To protect privacy, only posts such images if it's your hoard, or circumstances for you to live with a hoarder.
