No problem getting in with camper van, but seems 3 bags of rubble per household per year is max allowed. Asked tip man where nearest fly tipping spot was so I could offload other bags.......he wasn't amused....I've got your number etc.etc.
If you go to the right ones Surrey and alike there might be a nice young lady there to help you unload and a while latter she will bring you some money for your old tat
I think I know the lady of which you speak. ..gets a 70's crappy coffee table, uses legs as inspiration, commissions a solid teak top to attach legs to and claims to have upcycled it....sells to a "Saw you coming " southern furniture shop for a ridiculous price ! Oops, may have given the impression that I detest the woman.......but I do.
Is that the one that puts odd coloured buttons and knobs on everything, then sells it up Pimlico for a monkey?
Our tip is a joke. Can only take 6 bags of rubble a month. Can only use my van 12 times a year. Staff are little Hitler's .no wonder fly tipping the on the up. Nothing but hassle when I gne was system means you have to wait for person with most to dump completes before you can get out of the place
Started charging for rubble at ours. I can't think of anything dafter - you know it'll end up fly-tipped.
I took 2 tires 1 still on the rim and they wanted £9 so I took them into work and put them in the bins there.
Can only speak from experience. The staff at all the Bradford centres I've used have been very friendly and helpful. Plus the pensioner skip is lined with soft cushions and copies of Saga magazine. The staff assured me that at least 80% percent of pensioners are recycled and don't end up in landfill.
I watched that programme yesterday! V occasionally there is something that I like once it’s been ‘done up’ but as it’s then at a stupid price I’d never buy it. Yesterday the old boy whose loom chairs she had said he didn’t want it to be restored unless it stuck to the original premise, There were two things he didn’t wan pitting on it, I’ve forgotten the first but the second one was steam trains/engines! The first may have been mermaids. . I thought it was a bit random but he’s obviously watched the programme before! Needless to say it did look a bit poo afterwards, shabby chic I suppose tho she used another new naff phrase to describe it so stupid people with too much money would buy it
The biggest joke is it’s called money for nothing but they take to jo trendy to do something with it and they charge £500 to make it into something erm .......... or she does it for nothing ermmm yeh like she’s not getting paid by the tv show .mind you most people would jump at the chance of getting a few hundred every time they go to the tip huh
Our dump ships many pensioners down to the local garden centre, where they’re used for composting. The Nissan Micras are sent off for recycling.
