F*king *******s!Â* We even get that sort of thing around here, I've
seen a load of stuff dumped in a laybyÂ* -Â* 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.






West Sussex still accept DIY waste. They only charge for car tyres and a
few other things, but soon realised that Surrey residents were driving
all the way to Billingshurst to dump *their* diy and other stuff that
Surrey now charges for.

Most trailers are now banned, even the silly little diy camper things.

From Dec 1st anyone using a WSCC tip must carry a signed note from all
four of their grandparents, or something like that, to prove where they
live.

The roads between Billingshurst and Guildford or up the A29 back to
Dorking are going to get a hammering with flytipping any day soon.
