Council Tips ( part 2)

<< < (2/6) > >>

Bunnie:
ones round here are funny too...

we normally recycle cardboard and bottles yet some of them moan because its trade waste... its cardboard! and bottles! not building stuff or things like that..

we do however have one which is an amenities (sp) tip meaning business and stuff can go there 2.

as regards to hight barriers cant say ive had any problems with the vit

the 90 has problems, the height barries comes to the window!

Bush Tucker Man:

--- Quote from: "wrecker" ---my local tip i carnt get my vit under the hight pole,

I can't get in ours now, & the policy appears to be "If It Can't Get Under, It Don't Go Go In'

But.. .you can't carry items in :roll:

Their "smelli people", today we took part of the old shed roof in my Dad's tiny trailer and some in the car, they let us dump what was in the car and then suggested we park opposite and transfer the rest out of the trailer and into the car and then come back!!!  otherwise it was a 40 minute round trip to another dump and then pay to dump it!!!!!!why the "reproduction movement" do I pay £1600 a year in council charges!!!

if we had had a van or a double cab we would have to pay for it all!!!

So off to visit George's tip in shepperton instead, as they are a bit more sensible!!

MudRat:
do what i do, my 110 can't get in under the height bar, so i take the trailer, un hitch it, PUSH it in, the bloke says its a trailer, i say no as its not attached to any thing and i am PUSHING it its a TROLLEY, this confused him, so i unloaded it while he was consulting with his mates!! True story!  :wink:

shaun and co:
whatever you do dont try and use a van to take stuff. i had to get rid of my old sofa so borrowed a works van to take it. got to the gate and was told no trade waste- explained it was my sofa from home and they were welcome to look, but no, they prefered just to send me away telling me that if i rang the council they would come and pick it up!! talk about creating work for no reason! oddly enough they couldnt suggest a way of me getting it to the tip not in a van.
at the local tip now i cant get the disco in but the bloke usually moves the bar out the way for me if i tell him where i live- he can actually think independantly!
totally agree that this just encourages people to fly tip and if its the choice between fly tippers messing up the country or the odd trader slipping through the net and getting to put his rubbish in the centre for free then i know which i would choose.
