I think the commercial tips are still open, it's recycling and public tips which have closed.Moneyineptitude said:
Yes, that was my immediate concern too. Where is this firm going to dispose of the waste material at the moment?ka7e said:Check with your local council, many areas have closed their public recycling centres and tips. The onus is on you to check that the firm has a waste disposal licence with the local council and that they are a reputable carrier. £800 seems a lot to have your waste end up being fly-tipped.

Social distancing was practiced when my skip was delivered - the driver was the only one in the lorry and he didn't come near me at any point.TELLIT01 said:

If you want the stuff to disappear double quick, put a sign on it saying '£10 per item'.No reliance should be placed on the above! Absolutely none, do you hear?1
