F*king *******s! We even get that sort of thing around here, I've seen
a load of stuff dumped in a layby - dead tv, old tyres, etc. This
less than five miles away from the local tip where the same could have
been dumped for free.

Free? An increasing number of local tips (sorry - "recycling
facilities") have, for quite some time, been charging for allowing you
to dispose of your unwanted stuff. General day-to-day personal household
stuff is generally still free, but anything that smacks of DIY, property
and garden maintenance, improvement and modification etc might well
attract a charge (as though it was trade). Strangely, local authorities
in whose areas the tips now charge for personal waste are totally
puzzled as to why there has also been a marked increase in fly-tipping.
