801227 2009-08-15 08:59:00 Were you charged at the weigh bridge?

Yes, as you go through the weigh bridge to get there and dump it just like normal waste. It's directly opposite the pits. It's about $93 per tonne, minimum of $6.

It's just a little signed area where you place those items.

(allblack, this is the dump itself not the recycling centre)

I've missed summat....why would you take recycling to the tip (and pay for it at the weigh bridge) instead of losing it at the recycling place before the weigh bridge?

In theory the recycling centre is for reusable things. I agree that having to pay for dumping scrap metal that the Council then sells seems off. Maybe you could try scrap dealers direct.

Yeah?

Wasn't aware of that. I just assumed that they would take dead whiteware (for example) and have it disposed of in a more environmentally-friendly manner.

Still...if Wgton can lose to B.O.P. then nothing surprises me anymore!
