From catford I found the bexley tip at footscray both quicker to drive to and far more accepting of whatever I wanted rid of than the lewisham offering. Their unusual generosity makes the abundance of flytipping in the immediate locality a mystery.

I've heard that's a good one from a mate in Bexley. The ones I went to in Bromley were a 15 min drive (Churchfields and Waldo Rd). All staff were excellent. Helpful, friendly and polite. The sites were clean and tidy and free of unpleasant odour.
Great day out with some sun on the skin, some rain on the skin and plenty of physical labour. 10/10.

I hadn't really appreciated how quickly the waste builds up when stripping a kitchen and the garden was very quickly filling up with bags and I love my garden and wanted it back. I dislike skips so decided to hire a Zipcar and take it to the recycling center myself as the builder has been neatly seperating stuff into rubble sacks. We're in Catford however Lewisham Council make it pretty much impossible to visit their sites with rubble.
A quick call to Bromley council to confirm that they were OK accepting waste from out of the borough and I was good to go.
4 trips with the seat down in a Golf, 2 of which I had to pay for as they were general rubble @ £37 each/200kg each time according to the weighbridge. £51 for car hire. The other 2 trips weren't chargeable as they were wood, metal and other electrical sundries that are accepted FOC.
I assume they let people from out of borough use their sites as the rogues will just dump it in the lanes if not.
All in all, some good exercise yesterday and a bit of a novelty mixing with the professionals on the weighbridge. £125 all up for what I reckon would have been a medium sized skips worth of waste.
