Default Going up the tip

I mean, the recycling facility. The load is a Christmas tree, various cans of old paint, two TVs, some old shelving, two broken mops, some plastic sheeting, Sophie's old paddling pool, some broken garden pots, and the glass bottles and paper that would normally be kerb colection but I'm taking them as I might as well get rid of them.

Plenty of room in the car if anyone wants me to take something for them

If your local tip is anything like mine, send the wife.

Seriously they help women and if they may think there is anything with a scrap value. Blokes have to struggle.

I tried to get rid of 50 litres of contaminated petrol (sister in law put petrol in a diesel car) and they would not take it. Where can I tip it then. you can't it would be illegal.

uncle went tip with a trailer of bags of horse manure from his stables.

sorry - your trailer is too big (on his second visit) you can only have a trailer a specific size limit or you classed as business use.

so if I have a smaller trailer how many times can i come-

oh as often as you want !.

ha

extra petrol same amount of Sh!t - literally- but worse on the enviromnment and his time.

crazy crazy rules.

AND - youhave to bloody sort it all for them these days and park miles away from the skip you need.
