Because if you have a van and turn up at the tip they want you to pay commercial tipping fees.lostinrates wrote: »what I don't understand is...if someone put it in a car to bring it to dump in a ditch/hedge/gateway/field...why not just take it to the nearest tip/recycling centre (about a short fifteen minute drive away from here)
the random stuff can't be business waste that's charged for.
If I have something to dump at the tip and I don't have a car, I will ask around and find somebody with a van (say a neighbour, friend, or even a man/van service) to take it for me - they will be asked for/charged a commercial tipping rate.
If I'd had my own estate car/trailer and taken it down, there'd be no fee.
If you have a van they're over it like a rash assuming it's commercial.0 -

Actually, you are right, they tried this with DH once (taking my mother's rubbish)...they complained about something, he said he'd tell his M-i-L they tried to fine him/charge him. We asked around and a few people said they'd had similr experience, I called the council (our tip is not council owned but council monitored or some such thing, its priivate with state funding...I don't remember how the right way to say that is) and they said it was boloney and DH was right to tell them to stick it. They said they received no fines from anyone for years...so any money taken would in all likely hood be being pocketed.0 -
To raise money for the Exchequer I'd put a tax on all foreigners living abroad0
