It's only 'waste' if you say it is. If you put it in small boxes for easy and safe handling, you can sell it. Who to? A friendly neighbour. Make out a proper invoice for a token amount. Say 10p a load. Give invoice to the neighbour. They don't have to actually give you 10p.
What's the point of all this? Well, once it's sold it legally ceases to be your property and becomes the neighbour's property. They can do what they want with it. The neighbour can just heave it into their landfill wheelybin or take it to the local tip. As it belongs to them it can't be termed 'trade waste'. (Unless they are also framers.)
And every Christmas the neighbour will get a nice pressie for being such a darn good neighbour.
That's my theory anyway. I haven't ever done this. Honest.
