I would too, council trying to be clever. I think they have a case for a rebate. There was one street hired a flatbed truck and dumped the refuse in the town centre.
Up here they introduced a £20 per large item pick up, the thing is they would pick up stuff that was dumped at the same time which made a lot of people think why should I pay, I'll get the same service.
It's been changed now as it was costing the council a fortune in fly tipping pick ups, more than they were getting in from the large pick ups.
