OT rant - rubble sacks

Excellent bio degradable bags.

Mike

I'm not sure if bio-degradable is the correct term as probably the plastic just breaks down into smaller bits as it becomes more brittle (as it has done in this case) ultimately turning into plastic micro-beads or nano particles that are doing so much environmental damage.

You will also be lucky to have your local tip accept builders rubble without a charge. they are very hot on it around here. Brian

No, cos they never seem to break down really small, and remain as microplastics. Brian

My local tip is free for domestic quantities of rubble.

The tip is privately run, on behalf of the council, and many previous rules in past years have been relaxed.

There is a web cam showing the queues so that you can check before setting off and they have "recycle" shop. Items such as bikes are sent on to a local work experience charity for refurbishment etc.

You'll be lucky to get in at all. I saw zero cars get in in 45 minutes. But they're nominally open!

Round here rubble is still free to dispose and they even take plaster and PB, as long as it is separated, which some LAs will not accept.

Ours charges. Currently operating Odd and Even days based on vehicle reg to keep queues down.
