Himself was going to put the metal into the skip designated for it...but one of the men came and took it off him and put it with general waste, rather than metal.

It was last night when I tried to do it

That's been the case for a long time. It's to help prevent people who might have business waste from using the recycling centre (or tip).

On that subject, my mother-in-law, who was 70 at the time, received an aggressively-worded letter from her council (not Hyndburn) stating the potential fine she could face for disposing of her business waste among her household waste (£50,000 if I recall correctly). She runs a little shop in Haworth and their stance was that no business operates without business waste. The example they cited was that the envelope that their letter arrived in was business waste.

Crazy, bloody-minded bureaucracy.

Re: The joys of RE-cycling??
 

Sounds right to me though, the envelope was business waste. Hyndburn should have the same policy

Re: The joys of RE-cycling??
 

If you re-use it though, to write a shopping list on for example, would it then become household waste?

You should be a councillor Neil, yeh got the same mentality.:rolleyes:

Should I thank you or curse you?


It's not hard to see that any waste produced by a business is business waste.

Re: The joys of RE-cycling??
 

Are fliers business waste? I fill my white sack with the darned things every fortnight perhaps rather than expecting the Council to take them away we should all return them to the businesses that sent them in the first place it's their waste therefore their responsibility to dispose of?

Re: The joys of RE-cycling??
 

Well most curse me.:D
