If you wish. My tenants in London once wanted to get rid of an old sofa. Taking my advice they stuck it outside, put a £30 ono price tag on it and a fake number to call. It was gone in 10 minutes  razz:

We have a nightmare here - the three-times-a-week binmen that used to take everything now refuse to take green waste because reasons.

The new EU mandated recycling centre (pictured) has never opened because everybody knows that there is no munny in it and nobody will take it on.

Consequently our lovely village is piled high with green bags full of garden waste and fly tipping is everywhere...  noooo:

Aye, that is what I always did...
