I too rented a skip last year and it cost me around the same!<br />I also have the same feelings regarding the police and council's response to fly-tipping, but rather that settle for what they say and do, I am doing something about it myself. One thing I am very good at is being persistant.<br /><br />The two fridge freezers, which were dumped in the forest recently would have been taken there either in a trailer or in a large van.<br />There is no charge for dropping this sort of waste off at the local tip, so why didn't they take it there instead of just dumping it in the forest?<br />I'll tell you why....<br />At the tip they have to queue and probably have to drive an extra mile or two to get there.<br />In the forest they just pull up and sling it out!<br />Lazy, thoughtless morons!<br /><br />Thanks for the comment. Appreciated.<br /><br />RobRob Wardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14909011703506732320noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6593565576776346728.post-44574119957561728112010-06-03T13:40:48.866+02:002010-06-03T13:40:48.866+02:00You can catch these people red handed even have p...You can catch these people red handed even have photographic evidence of them actually dumping. nothing will be done about it. a smack on the wrist from the local court and that's it.<br />but saying all this. My wife wanted to rent a skip to take the winters garden rubbish away, cuttings etc. nothing heavy only garden waste they wanted and she had to pay 250+vat for a skip. its 7 years since I have moved to egypt. the last time I was home I hired a tipper truck and cleaned the garden rubbish I took it to what is a private dump owned by the evans waste disposal this tip is situated in an old quarry above Llanidloes. they charge the council 20 ton garbage lorries 50 pound to tip each lorry. me I got charged 40 pounds to tip maybe half a ton that will be burned on the land, and you are wondering why there is fly tipping going on. by the way our council tax (rates) last year was 1200 pounds.<br /> and we have to take our house rubbish, to the road. if say we are going out its put out at 8.00, the lorry comes at 14.00. and I can guarantee some twat will have dumped his rubbish that has to be paid for. and this is on the main road into newtown with a fire station across the road. hear no evil speak no evel and see no evil is the police policy,<br /> do not want too much paperwork, it costs too much to take to court, but they will stop whoever with a defected rear light or some poor sod who has had his car vandalized in the night, got no light mate,120 pound fine and points off his licence,Life in Egypthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09776927443904909109noreply@blogger.com
