Council recycling places (what a joke)

[Dogtrousers]

Often feel they're creating a problem when they do that. They often end up clearing them up at a greater cost than accepting them, then passing them on to another company for disposal.

It depends really. If the council refuse to take something and it ends up dumped at the side of the road in another council's area, that's a win. Not our problem any more.

I cycle frequently round Kent which where I see a lot of fly tipping. I'm guessing that much of this originates in central London where quiet lanes for fly tipping are in short supply.

There's tips closing in Kirklees (or is it Calderdale?), surely it's going to cost more, & get the publics back up by them finding fly-tipped rubbish everywhere & having to remove it?

Its Birstall tip in Kirklees. An odd thing Kirklees won't take is stone of any kind, I've got several old flagstones stashed around the back garden that I'll be damned if I pay for a skip to chuck them in.

Old engine oil is carcinogenic and poses numerous other health and environmental hazards. It’s best use is as a feedstock for re-refining.

Mixed with Paraffin it makes a great creosote* replacement!
