Went to the tip yesterday. Got rid of a dead car battery, a broken chair, and a whole load of recycling too big for our normal boxes.

No ID required.

Went to the tip on Saturday. Chucked three old radiators into the large metal skip. Satisfying as fuck

Careful - some tips won’t let you bring commercial vehicles (vans) in.

They usually check our residents parking permit and we’re good to go. Ours is run by a guy who I reckon is ex-military. Wears a beret and army surplus gear. Very shouty.

Suck that up.

When I lived in the same town as my dad. Probably about once every 2 months.

Now, I don’t have the pleasure.

Just took a car load to the dump, i was originally shut with a huge queue so I went back an hour later when it was empty.

Was worth it as I got a satisfying smash from an old toaster.

I have been once, massive queue, you had to separate everything into their own sections which were miles from each other. Any experience with using a man with a van (men with ven?) or other waste disposal services? Rough reasonable prices? Much smalltalk / help required? It is at least a car load with seats down if not a van, if I can pay someone to shift everything from my garage in one go it might be worth it.

Our Dump has one of those compactor things that you chuck household waste in and a huge piston smooshes it all into a tiny cube. Often wondered about tipping over whilst throwing away something particularly unwieldy (I am very clumsy and tall so this is not a 0 possibility) and how being smooshed to death would be a particularly grisly way to go out.

#103

they should if you have proof of address and are not bringing obviously commercial waste, eg a tonne of bricks, loads of rubble bags etc

#104

Depends on the individual council. Down our way you have to book a visit with anything larger than a car regardless of anything else.

#105

actually yeah i remember some fucking cunts turning me away in bristol. I just had two large pieces of foam in the back of the van that i wanted to get rid of and they wouldn’t even let me walk them in.

We all have a sticker on our cars saying we’re Dave from Leeds?
