I had about thirty poles laid out in a cultivated field three years ago. field was too soft and wet for electric men to drill and erect new poles. Few weeks later I was cultivating the field a second time but all the poles still led out in the field so I moved them all to the further end in a pile. A week later new poles arrived and got planted and lines strung up. Poles still in the place I left them. Not sure if I should charge them storage or clean up the pile myself lol.

Best bet is nabbing the guys in your area, subbies are normally alright, official openreach not as it's waste blah blah unless you don't allow access if they don't leave the old ones. We happened to stop some subbies going past and now they give us a ring if they are in the area and have a few. Bit sporadic so we just take them whenever they ring so they are on farm when we want them.
