Fly tipping

Re: Fly tipping

Of course, fly tipping isn't quite as bad as dogs fouling the local pavements and the owners not bothering to clear up after them.

It is disgusting horrible if you step in it

I have just started a thread on here explaining how I contacted my local council about dog fouling, and managed to not only get it cleared up, but made my neighbours aware of the problem.

Both are bad enough however i would prefer to see a dog log in the street than a washing machine

I don't want to see them in either place to be honest.

The travellers would take washing machines if their in the area scouting

Re: Fly tipping

It was probably old and the owner wanted to get rid of it.

Soooooo

About three years ago we got a new washing machine and they wanted £25 to remove the old one ... my neighbour said to leave it at the front of the house and it will be gone tomorrow...

Four days later it was still sat there then when we got home one night one of the neighbours had written in big black letters on the side of the machine .. “ HOW LONG ? “ !!

I was so pizzed off I immediately wrote on the other side ...

“ HOW RUDE !”


About ten minutes later I saw this huge bloke striding across to our house .. 6’ 5” ex police/ ex rugby guy !!


I thought I was done for !!

I opened the door and he said aggressively “ so how long is it gonna stay there ?”

Luckily for me I’d already phoned a local guy who was on his way round so I said “ about 20 minutes “ ..

It all ended peacefully and he didn’t deck me

I thought that they would get rid of the old thing for free - certainly delivery people from places like Currys do.

My old place used to have old fridges and things outside for a long while - rash promises that someone was going to collect them when they don't.

Coincidentally i have just ordered a new washer from appliances on line (AOL)..it's arriving tuesday, free delivery but £45 to remove the old one. Shockingly they charge an extra £5 for "installation" which basically means plugging it in
