Actually I have spoken to the council at length about this, just after they
started to charge 62 quid a year to remove garden waste. they tell me that
the government has imposed a land fill tax on all councils which has
recently risen considerable. this is to encourage the use of recycling
schemes. However some of the rubbish seems to not have any bin for it, and
it it is this that g gets fly tipped. Builldiing rubble, old sofas aand
mattresses and old domestic appliences. yYou can take the old domestic
appliences in for free but they charge to pick them up.
The same goesfor mattresses and sofas, but general rubble and crap seems
to still be an issue here.

If you allowed some kind of agrogate supplier into the loop they would love
some of this rubble. It seems daft that they charge to process it.

Our local council have for as long as I can remember, allowed for three
free bulky waste collections per year. Recently they invited feedback on a
scheme where they would charge £20 per collection, as a means to save
money. I have replied with 'rather than save money, it will cost more for
the council to clear up the additional mess after all the fly tipping'.
