  • Lewisham tip need you to book an appointment to drop off waste - no problem, I can do that

    You aren't allowed to come by foot / bike, cars only - annoying but ok, I'll get a cab / zipcar

    You need to enter the registration plate of the vehicle before you can book the appointment - fucksake, no wonder people dump shit on the street.

    TDLR: does anyone want to give me and my broken cooker hood a lift to the tip.

  • Yeah - I had about ten bricks I dug out of my garden and wanted to get rid of in Ealing. I stuck them in the boot of the car and drove to the local recycling centre to be told that it's commercial waste and I couldn't leave it there.

    There's a bigger borough centre I was sent to, which took 40 minutes in traffic. Got there, tried to empty them and was told I had to weigh my car before / after because I'd be charged. I did that, and upon weighing was told I needed three (!) forms of ID, one with a photo and one had to be my council tax bill. To leave ten bricks.

    So then I turned around and drove the 40 minutes home and gave up on it. They've been sat in the corner of my garden since.

    Thanks for making it so easy to dispose of this stuff responsibly Ealing...
