The tip near me is getting worse too.
after stripping all the old plaster off the walls on my stairs and landings, I ended up with 22 25kg rubble sacks. instead of taking them in my van which I thought would cause problems, my neighbor offered to load his car up to take the bags to the tip with me.
we could get 10 at a time in the car, but when we got to the tip for the first time, I found a sign on the rubble and hardcore skip that said you can only dispose of 2 25kg bags of hardcore per household per week. but with my rubbish being old plaster, it had to go in to the plaster skip, but I could still only get rid of 2 25kg bags a week. something to do with the fact that they are only a small site (which they by no means are) I asked the muppet on the site if every house in the area had dropped off their allowed 2 25kg bags of hardcore this week, and if they hadn't then could I have their allowance.
I don't know if this is because they are trying to stop builders using a car instead of a van to take rubbish to the tip instead of paying for a skip, or if they are just doing it to be fussy.
as a result of this, my option was to either take two bags a week to the tip, resulting in my garden being full of rubbish bags for weeks on end, or hire a skip. in the end I ordered the smallest skip I could find, which including vat still cost me £66.
I emptied all the full rubble bags in to it and it just about covered the bottom of the skip.
luckily my neighbor is having the concrete flags in his garden replaced with crazy paving, so he paid for half of the skip and filled it with the old flags and any other rubbish he could find.
what is the world coming to when you can't even get rid of rubbish at the place built to get rid of rubbish.
