Quinten Posted July 8, 2015 Share Posted July 8, 2015 Council tips are (mostly if not all) run by private companies. I'm sure part of their contracts is that the act of handing in your "rubbish" for them translates into "voluntarily transfers ownership" to the contractors. Which would make the act of taking something of the tip, theft from the contractors... Yup, it's a good way of spending tax money I'm sure...

dhutch Posted July 8, 2015 Share Posted July 8, 2015 THe tip near my ex collects and lays out anything they think is worth reuse in front of a couple of containers and in buckets at the end of each of the raised aisles. Ideal. Why can't they all be like that? Daniel 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Eastwood (Gadgetman) - Club Chairman Posted July 9, 2015 Share Posted July 9, 2015 Great idea. I guess all that don't want to do it will just hang their excuses firmly on the liability hook. An easy cop out, but a great shame. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
