Around here they tend to be even quicker than that. Record time so far
8 minutes from leaving something out to it disappearing, though it did
take a couple of hours to dispose of our old washing machine a couple of
weeks ago.
This used to wind me up as surely it must be theft, but these days I
simply make sure that nothing I want to keep is on the front of the
house and use them as a service to dispose of stuff, saving myself a
trip to the tip.
We have a 'special street collection' tomorrow. They'll be all over it
ahead of the council crews: Wish I had a camera set up to see them at it.


My council charge a huge amount to take fridge/freezers so the pikeys
are welcome. I have an estate car so it doesn't affect me
