Ban on all commercial dumping

[flatyre]

it would be an impressive compost heap for sure but I already have access to as much free compost as I could ever need. Just found out yesterday the new council director who brought this new rule in used to work for a neighbouring council, he wormed his way up the promotion ladder in record time by dreaming up ways to cut council spending (and services). As soon as he got the top job the first thing he did was introduce monthly bin emptying to save money. As you can imagine there was a major backlash once peoples bins started overflowing after two weeks. Needless to say he was moved asap before he got lynched. So he is now director of my local council and looks like he hasn't learned anything, anyway myself and many other businesses are going to be screwed just so some brown nosed rat can get himself further up the ladder!

Why are you going to be screwed?

The rules apply to all don't they?

It's the customers who will suffer with price rises

There's no benefit in getting stressed over it as the person you're blaming surely won't. Adapt, find ways round it and move on. You'll sleep better and probably live longer.

[Mick Dempsey]

The whole green waste question has changed over the last 20 years.

You used to be able to pay a farmer to push it up in a corner of his yard to burn for a few quid a month.

Those days are gone, as Gary says, adapt, find someone to take the chip and logs and get with the program.

unfortunately only commercial vehicles and 4x4's will be banned from dumping which is what most legitimate businesses drive, and cars with small trailers will be allowed, which is what most of the chancers drive!

 

I doubt the customers will suffer as they'll give the business to the fly tippers once the legitimate operators add the cost of skips to their quotes.

Put your prices up don't try and compete with them. It does not work.

Aim to win in quality not price.

It's been the same around here for years.
