Funnily enough when I was a kid, the local tip comprised of a yard with 6 or 8, 8 cubic yard skips on it, no staff, no sorting, and there were always as many people there picking stuff out again to reuse as there were dropping off.

Local paper tells of a couple of enterprising folk who rented a farmers barns for a year or three. A strictly cash affair. They were in business offering a county-wide rubbish clearance service which included collecting & disposing of old tyres.

One day the farmer fails to get his monthly rent and goes to the barn to find the two gentlemen where he discoveres it crammed to the rafters with 10,000 tyres and a lot of very smelly rubbish.

Someone has made a lot of £'s and it's certainly not the farmer who is left with all the stuff in his barn!

That's not uncommon, back in the day quite a few of the then newly privatised East German "communal" farms fell for the same trick

I don't even see how it will work - money earned compared to money spent on clearing up fly tipped rubbish!!!!

:confused1:

 

A lot of fly tip happens on private land and that makes it the landowners problem

 

Had some dumped on land I was renting, fortunately there was paperwork in there so all I had to do was load it and return it to the owner.

Hope you charged for the service. :001_smile:

In a perverse way I also have always wanted to be able to do that :001_smile:
