Local tip now charges you
Went to the local tip the other day with some rubble / gravel from next doors driveway (no I didn't pinch it. Just helping them with some landscaping)
Anyways getting back to the point that the local tip now charges you £2 per bag to get rid of your bricks / rubble etc. - what next.....

Our local tip won’t take plaster board or soil. Even the soil on plant roots/ weeds etc has to be taken off before dumping. Then they watch you empty each bag in case you cheat! Anything you’ve brought against the “rules” means your car registration is logged and you may not be permitted entry on next visit. Didn’t stop them taking a “tip” from a lady dumping bags of something.

They then sell it to local builders etc for hardcore,
Nice little earner for them,
Our local tip records you reg number and your only allowed in so many times, and if i go more than twice in a month in the disco I have to get a permit as they consider a large 4x4 a commercial vehicle.

As from June in Kent its 4 pound a bag of soil or hardcore and 6.50 per bag of plasterboard, how big the bags are I dont know before anyone asks!
Fly tipping is going to go viral.

Oh Hell. Thankfully up here, no charge for domestic users, although you have to fill in a form if you take it to the dump in a trailer or a van.

Clearing out my garage before moving from North Yorks, I took a few bags of old tile cement,grout, plaster, cement & sand to the tip.
There were just remnants in the old bags, tip charged me £1 per bag, so £5 in total.
Now had I known that, I'd have emptied them all into the one bag, paid just £1 and saved myself £4!
(Or I could've used the stuff to fill in a pothole and charged the council £5!)...... always on the road less travelled 🚧

Took an Ensuite shower door into the local tip (South Derbyshire) only a few weeks ago.
"That's trade waste and you are likely a plumber - that will be £6".
WTF.
Can I have some money off my Council Tax, please?
I'm guessing not."Track day running - Don't put your foot back on the accelerator until your absolutely sure you don't have to take it off again"

That’s bad. There used to be a time when you could put out anything for the scaffies and they’d take it.
I don’t mind taking it to the tip, but charging you? Surely anything it costs them to recycle is more than made up because people then tend not to fly tip?

The Government charges tip owners (including Councils) land fill tax, so everything that goes in the ground costs the tip owner money. As most tips are Council owned, and Councils have been mercilessly hit by Government's austerity regime ("we're all in it together (as we take a huge pay rise)"), Councils are trying to find funds where they can.
As usual, Councils get the blame for Government actions.Visiting from rrsport.co.uk

Dump it on the pavement and put a 'For Sale - £50' and it'll be away by next morning.

In Fife we now have a 1.9m access bar, anything over 1.9m and you need to fill out the form before they open the barrier.
I just love the look of disappointment on their faces when I pull up, stick it in access mode and limbo dance under the bar

Quite like Scott’s idea. In days of old I put an old washing machine out for collection and it was gone come the morning.
