No Wonder There Is So Much Fly Tipping Goin On!!

[RATTER15]

Sorting stuff to take to the recycling centre and stuff for the recycling collection truck, will only accept this type of plastic and not that type etc.

Its a pain, and they wonder why fly tipping is on the increase!!

Well I have a bloody good idea why its on the increase!!

Rant over!!

I had a row with the council on Friday who failed to turn up and take away a sofa that I had paid them to take. I said exactly the same thing - it`s no wonder people fly tip

Luckily here they will take all plastics but no glass bottles or jars are collected. We have to take them to a bottle bank ourselves. What I dont understand is they have always collected paper and cardboard but recently they said they wont take any shredded paper.Surely when its all mulched down its all the same thing, isnt it?

Georgiesmum, maybe because shredded paper flies all over the place. It's a nightmare to chuck away. We had hundreds of bits all over our drive when a bag of it burst.

[ummmm]

Our council are quite good with recycling.

I'd heard of cow tipping.
That's when young people sneak into paddocks and push a sleepy cow over.

Fly tipping, well, the youngsters would need some fine motor skills to indulge in that practice.
