It depends how much you have to get rid of. Council won't help you move it (at least mine won't - I wish they would!), but the local tip should have a soil/rubble skip that you can use, although you may need a few trips in the car full of trugs/bags. My local skip hire also does a bulk bag (about 1m3) service for soil/rubble for about £60, where they drop off a bag and pick it up when its full. I've used that a couple of times and it beats 10 trips to the tip. More soil to get rid of than that and you are looking at a skip or even a grabaway.
Half a tonne is less than you think when it comes to soil, so you might find runs to the tip would work with rubble sacks/buckets as Matt says. I don’t know what you are planning but also think about raised beds or creating mounds etc which may give you a way of using it..
@Flinster thanks i never thought of that! i've got an area towards the back of the garden where i can put it.
im also trying to save as much money as possible, only spending when absolutley necessary. my budget is around £100. I already what plants im going to get (2 blackcurrant, 2-3 strawberry's and a few potatoes but i havent worked out how many yet)
