Sad what people throw away.

My son visited the local tip this morning only to find a pale blue and white designer had been tipped. he said two legs were broken and the bottom of the door was damaged but even the spare was in place. Of course he asked what would happen to it one of the workers has claimed it and wants to bring it back to life so Daryl gave him our forum address for when he starts the work ........ just in case he needs any help.

I just can't believe the things some people tip

It is shocking what people throw away, some people have more money than sence. Lets hope the it is brought back to life. I wonder if it had an accessories inside?

No idea Cazz, it was folded with Dandy cover on the top, Daryl said it looked like just the bottom of the door was damaged and the legs. I can't see why someone would remove the interior and then throw it away but then again I can't understand anyone throwing a Dandy away at all, it would have been better had the person given it away.

It would have. I agree, why would they remove plates and things then throw it away, I bet it's all equipped for camping, once it's repaired. It might even have an awning in it.

Wouldn't it be good if the they did join here and keep us posted.

Have you got more rubbish to take away so you can ask?

I would love to know the outcome too Cazz so let's live in hope he joins for a bit of advice.

We are both nosy, sorry, interested aren't we.

Sort out the bin and down the tip you go.

Either make sure he signs up or bully him into passing on the Designer.

Go to it Helen.

We may go ourselves just to take a peek and see if it's still there, they will not allow the public to take anything from the tip even if you offer to pay for it. I hope the worker who is having it does join though and doesn't turn it into just a trailer that's a dandy with a story behind it now.

well i can see it now all on this forum loitering around the council tips just in case I will hang around before they go in just to be sure I hope they join as think its killing us what's inside ooh killing needed a woman's touch( interrogation ) so now Helen empty your house out to the tip

Why does a council worker have rights we dont,do they not realise they and the council work for us we pay there wages and as the employers anything left at our tip belongs to us.it realy annoys me the attitude of councils.

It really annoys me too, my dad once asked could he take something and the answer was no your not allowed to mate.

our council men are pretty good and depending who's on i got breeze blocks free he let me climb in the container and helped me , another one lets me buy for a few squid but there is a jobs worth but im not sure if a dandy came in weather they know what it is if they did it would go to them wah

Are your tip staff council workers?
Ours haven't been council workers for a few years.
One of my mates used to pop in every time he passed as he would always pick up gas cylinders, a good number are disposed of half full of gas and more.
Private contractors and too much cctv. It's a recycling centre but lord preserve that someone could actually use an item as it is, it will have to be reprocessed first.

Ours all seem to have gone a bit upmarket compared to how they used to be ...... staff point you in the right direction and keep a close eye to make sure your putting the right stuff in the right place, I know we can't take the stuff as I said my dad once asked for something and was told no even though he offered to pay for it and there is lots of stuff that could be re-used, we once asked for a small gas bottle as there was a cage full of them and were also told NO. On the other hand they do sell bags of compost that they have produced from food & plant waste so I don't really understand why they will not allow you to buy anything else there.

with regard to gas bottles they are probably frightened that if it was dodgy and exploded they would be held liable so can't give them out until they have been thoroughly checked

having said that i'm sure there is other stuff that could be given out to people.

wow we are behind thank god as ours are still council run
