Our local recycling centres are very good.Staff very helpful, you can take carloads of stuff!

 If you have a trailer or a privately registered van/pickup you can get a book of permits free from the council.( Just to prove you are not  trade!)

My mate had a Landrover Defender without side windows so they would not let him in without the permit. I had a similar Landie 88 station wagon-no problem.

This was swapped for an old Range Rover-you can get stacks in those! When my neighbour was clearing out his garage etc we just filled it! Its an estate car-no problem sir!

wow what a rip off no wonder flytipping is on the up, £3.30 for a car tyre, My mate has a garage that also has a tyre bay they pay £70 to have 100 tyres desposed of, as for truck tyres we get a £50 casing credit on all our tyres, the casings then go for remoulds,  your council charges you £45...... talk about rip off Britain, 

At a local tip near me the tip workers have a transit van parked on site that they fill with scrap metal & if you want a gas bottle they charge a £5 for a small one or £10 for a large one,
