Disposal

[JohnBishop]

Hi All,

  I have some bigger items to dispose.
1. old CRT monitor
2. old washing machine - it pretty much rotted out
3. old toilet and other bathroom ceramics

I was thinking to cut this old washing machine to pieces and put it in general waste. There is no drum just the shell.

Why do some arseholes dump building waste including floor panels and ceramics in my nearby forest? Why don't they take it to the local council waste disposal?

 

Thanks

Check out your local authority mine collects certain items free of charge. It allocates a certain number of points for an item and you can have a certain numerical amount for free per year.

Local authorities are responsible for all the fly tipping Due to restrictions put on homeowners and builders

All that can easily be disposed of at our local council tip recycling centre free of charge if it is your own personal waste.  I never had issues taking that sort of stuff.

 

The only complication if you are using a van or trailer to take it there you must register it, and fill out a load of paperwork.

 

I find my old Landrover is handy, it has most of the attributes of a van, but they guys at the tip don't class it as a van.

Leave the washing machine out for scrap - someone will collect it. Old bathroom porcelain goes in the hardcore bin at the tip. Monitor goes to the electronics skip or area at the tip too

Check if your old CRT isn't now selling at a premium on eBay. They don't make them any more and some gamers love the clarity they provide.
