Title: No Wonder People......
Post by: Colin G on 24 November 2016, 14:19:57
FLY TIP

Just swapped out my front seats and being a responsible resident and council tax payer took the old seats to my recycling centre (dump in old money) to be told they couldn't accept them as they are classed as 'commercial waste' and not household waste.

I queried this as the seats were from my car, swapped over by me on my 'household' property.  They  informed me they could take my battery and my old oil but any other vehicle part was not permissable.  Where am I supposed to take them then ask I - 'to a scrap yard' was the reply.

No wonder there's been such a big increase in fly tipping over the last few years  :-\ :-\

So anybody want a couple of MV6 cloth seats - driver's is a bit raggedy arsed but all the mechanisims and heatpads work. ;D  Failing that does anybody know of a scrap yard in south nottingham?

It's amazing what you can fit in a wheelie bin with the aid of an angle grinder

My dad tried to take some paint to his local tip:

"Sorry mate we can't take that,"
"Why not its household waste?"
"We can't recycle it, you'll need to go to Cardiff"
"That's an 80 mile round trip, are you sure you can't take it?"
"well, if you paint it onto some wood, we could recycle that"
"....."

My local tip will not take car seats...so for the last three times I have swopped over I stripped the seats of the cloth which they allowed me to put into the skip and the metal into the metal skip and they said no problem with that,,as regards the paint cans they will allow 5 tins at any one time....
