Re: fly tipping promoted by HBC

This is a load of rubbish.

The council must made made to have a consistent rule that applies to rubbish, and that the rules must be fair and reasonably applied.

I know I say this a lot, but in Germany, there are rules that cannot be broken. If the tip does nor accept your rubbish they must give you a signed and stamped document that says so. It prevents corruption, and stupid bureaurats applying the rules as they interpret them. The latest rule is that every houshold gets a set of coupons that can be applied to the amount and type of rubbish that can be disposed of.

For example 2 coupons for a cubic meter of carpet, 1 coupon for a chair etc., etc.

There are no arguements, and no discussions. either you have the coupons or you pay the disposal costs in cash!
