Making tips free doesn't stop fly tipping.
The tips are free around here and people still fly tip.


Are they free for builder's waste, etc, too, though?



I think you are wrong to call it builders waste. It's customers waste
and should be dealt with in the way I have deal with it - legally - and
I have to include the waste costs in the bill to the customer.

But as you said "no one wants to pay for it".


Some people are just too idle to take it to a tip or they choose to go
when its shut and dump it elsewhere.


Very true. The same as chucking an empty crisp bag rather than taking it
home or finding a waste basket.


Quite a few apprentices, have over the years, thrown rubbish such as
empty pop cans and crisp bags out of my passenger side window.

Can you guess how many have done it twice when I am driving:-)?
