Yep, bit mad. Our local tip won't let you in until they see what you have and will not take "DIY waste". Fine, it'll just get bagged in small bits and put in my general use wheelie bin over a few weeks instead of the relevant skip and none of it will be properly recycled. I'm certainly not going to pay a licenced waste carrier to take it away.

On a related note, we were told we'd have to pay an annual fee from June to keep our kerbside garden green waste collections. They've been part of the council tax up to now but so far we've not been sent anything actually asking for payment, and thankfully they're still being emptied.
