Off topic : Household tipping sites

Went to the household tip (Leeds council) up here a few weeks ago and there is a charge for rubble, soil, plasterboard, toilet bowls etc. £2.60 per 25l bag which seems to be bag for life size. They say more and more councils are doing it. I had no money to pay so I left with the soil.

Do they charge in Barnsley?

 

No but you are only allowed to take so many a year. Think it's 4 bags every 6 months

 

And you have to be resident in Barnsley. We'd become a dumping ground for Deedars and Rovrumites trying to avoid their local charges, so BMBC adopted a Barnsley tips for Barnsley waste policy.

 

That’s fine then, I have council tax bills for both places.

Some Leeds folk aren’t happy that Hecky was dumped up here.

I took half a dozen breeze blocks and about 20 broken house bricks a few months back. Was told after I couldn't return for 12 months as I'd used my quota. They give you a leaflet explaining what your allowed in what period. Fortunately, the rest of the bricks I had, I stuck in a neighbors skip. But you can imagine some people would just fly tip it.

I’ve got a car which is deemed commercial so I’ve got a book of 12 stubs which I have to take along with me, a can’t say I’ve noticed if there’s a restriction on the volume I can take each time I go. Good to see our local council taking a grip on not letting other surrounding areas use our facilities

 

It's bizarre that when there's such a fly tipping problem, they introduce measures which will put some people off using these facilities. Permit or ID, quotas, postcode etc

 

I'm not having this. Keep your Leeds rubbish in Leeds, and especially if your trying to tip Hecky back onto us then forget it. I haven't spoke to a Leeds fan who wants to keep him yet and that must have been at least 200,000 of em.
