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

<< < (3/12) > >>

Get in contact with the council then.  They should be able to deal with these people, or better yet, next time tell them that if they don't open it you will get in contact with the authourity that governs that site.  Hopefully they'll then move and get the barrier/gate moved, if they don't... well you know what to do.  :wink:

At the local one just up the road (I won't name it, but the name could be thought of as a 'healthy-stream'), there used to be a right grumpy arrogant so & so.

I'd seen him at a previous council tip, but when that was closed he moved to this one.

He wouldn't even open the gate for the Councils own vans at times & ignore the drivers completely.
I've even been told he'd measure a trailer to check it's size was within the guide-lines (6x4) h
He'd turn an an oversized one away unemptied!!!
He tried that one with me the day after I bought it, but I had a I-W catalogue showing that it was their smallest product.

I got threatened with the Police with him once, as when I was digging out an old rose-bed in the garden (about 6' x 8', & 2' deep)
I took 3 loads of soil & he came over shouting about "1 trailer a day only!", and "Hire a skip in future!!"

I handed him my mobile & asked him to dial, or he could write down my details from my driving licence & ask the local Bobby to call in.

Sadly the Site-Manager appeared before he could make his next move. :roll:

I've since been told that the only reason he wasn't fired after inumerable complaints was that he'd lose part of his pension (whether that can be done I don't know?)

So, if I've got a lot to dump, I'll nip down the M62 & head up to the site at Temple Newsham to the east of Leeds, no issues here with quantities, or permits

A friend of mine contructed his own oil-burning heater for his worshop, so stockpiles it all for winter useage

You want to live in Walsall, West Midlands.

They have lowered the bar to 5' 7". To gain access you must call the office - Mon to Fri 09:00 to 16:00 (closed for lunch 12:00 to 14:00). They assign you an entry time. If your late, you have to re book.

Now, when you do get your number and time to get in, you are only allowed a certain amount of rubbish. I.e., 8 bricks, 1 bag of rubble, green waste, but not in bags, etc, etc, etc.

To make things worse, they have just advised the following: -

Due to a number of residents not sorting the recyclaables, wardens will be checking the bins. If found to contain mixed waste, the bin will be marked and the Environmental Waste Operatives (dust persons) will miss you out.

You will have to sort through and call that number again to arrange for an additional van to be sent out to make the collection.

If its found that you have not sorted the bin correctly, you could face a penalty charge of £1000.00.

Now, looking in the paper, the local fly tipper only gets fined £300 and £100 costs, so what do you think that most people are going to do.......

I think my council are large holes where brown stuff comes out of (yes, your guess was correct).

Chris
