People have no problem depositing all sorts of stuff at our local tip.
Mostly because all the bins are marked and there are people to ask.


Indeed, but those are the ones who make effort. A lot of people
can't be arsed and just chuck recyclable stuff in the normal
domestic rubbish bin..

Even the skips at the Viridor sites are abused. The one that
should contain soil or rubble is usually contimainated with
ceramic tiles, old bogs, stuff that should be in there.

Ditto the timber skip. All manner of junk that clearly
cannot go through a chipper gets chucked in there.
