Regarding recycling, Surrey CC collect cans and newspapers from the door, but we have to take our own cardboard, magazines and glass to the supermarket.  In contrast, my dad in Devon puts his recycling out, suitably sorted, and they collect it all;  and other people I know just chuck all the recyclables out together and the council collect it and sort it.  Way to go, Surrey.

Incorrect!

I depends what borough of Surrey you live in.

If you live in the Boroughs of Guildford or Waverley (West Surrey) then they collect paper, card, tin, glass, magazines, newspapers. The only thing they don't take in those Boroughs is Plastic: and the local tesco takes that.  

ps- used to work for Surrey CC  :wink:  they are quite a good CC in comparison to many others!

i love this subject!

I get the feeling that my local tip in kettering is the same one that the original poster uses - they are unbeleiveable down there , you can come in here in that today, its a van (my 90),  cant do this cant do that - thats wood m8, nope thats metal, you'll need to put that in the hardcore skip, metal objects over there , did i see you inhere earlier? thats twice in a month therefore your banned...blah blah

you can see why fly tipping happens - my view is that every instance of fly tipping is an outright failure of the local tip management (or the policies)- THEY should be made to clear it up and have the money it cost  deducted from their budget or fee they are paid from council.

if they see something in your rubbish that they want then they are very helpful - I just make sure now that everything i take down there is smashed up so it has no resale value to them.

GRRRRRRRR

mark.yellow.series.3:
well my local tip will take commercial vehicles :D  vans and the lot, but they wont take a van with a trailer over 8' long :D or more then 3 visits in a day.

but did you know they cant accually refuse (no pun :lol: ) you if you come in a commercial vehicle, if you say its household waste, they might um and ahh, and refuse you entry again, but if you turn up they will let you tip...... so ive been told, and i must say ive never been refused entry, in my van or 7.5 tonner.

but as far as your tyres go, just sheet them down in your front yard and let some scumbag pinch them :lol:

Our local:

Height now 6' - can't get the Disco or the Series in
No vans - can't use the Astra
No walking stuff in - Can't use any of the above

So I either use an MX5 (I don't think so!)
or borrow the Clio back from my daughter (a pain now that she's got her own flat)
