Fun Day out for all "A trip to the local Tip"

(1/12) > >>

PoPrivit:
Moved house earlier this year and finally sold my old house.

So this weekend came the time to clear out the shed and garden.

Had some old wheels from my S III that i've been meaning to get rid of so as i had the use of a 110 Hi cap for the weekend off i went with my youngest lad myles to the tip.

First hurdle convince the chap that i'm not a commercial vehicle  :shock: unlike the tipper transit in front thats just been let in.  

Second was those faitfull words "sorry mate but we can't take that" i thought he ment the old fridge that i was unloading, but know it was the wheels. We thats not strictly true, the wheels he would take but the tyres on them he would not. :shock:

So there you are you live in a rural village and every unused gateway is full of old car wheels and other rubbish. You pay through the nose for your council tax and they sweep the road once a year and dont grit the road in the winter.

But they can't clear away the fly tipping as they don't have the resource. :?

but they get picky as to what they will take at the local tip........ :idea:

is it just me............I think not.........so when my old disco goes to the scrap man guess whats going to be inside... :D

I have just had a similar experiance, I went in the Mitsubishi to the local tip, question, do you have a permit? yes I replied (it covers the Animal and the Landrover) Ah but this permit only covers green waste and you have household rubbish on (1 old plastic swimming pool and a bag from the bin) you need a blue permit for this which covers you for one trip only.

So in Calderdale to be green I have to take the grass in one vehicle, drive home, load the household rubbish into the Jeep and then back to the tip where I can then dump without a permit whilst everone else can fill their estate cars to the top without any permit. Discrimination!

How stupid, I have written tyo my local councillor - see what happens.

Tips

I got banned from my old local one......cause I lost it at the legalised pikey and threatened to bury his head in the side of a cabin.


All about him not letting my 2a in with a trailor then refusing my disco with the same trailor in five minutes later


Jumped up little hitlers
