Got rid of most of a peugeot 205 via my 3 bins once, cut up and covered with the correct rubbish. This was in the days when you had to pay to have scrap cars removed :)

Our bin men are superb... Never had a problem. Had half a dozen CRT monitors (several years ago) they took. Just last week I had a big box of cardboard out by the recycling bin... Asked them if it was ok and if they wanted me to throw it in for them. "No problem mate! And got his mate to give him a lift in with it :y

However, I'd happily have a discount on my rates and pay a private company to supply me with a larger wheely bin emptied once a fortnight that they will take anything and sort at their own depot :y

I did consider getting a Biffa bin and claiming the cost against my business... :D At least their collections are reliable and consistant...

The rag & bone man takes all our metal , including some stuff they dont ask for ...  ::)
Had one of the cheeky sods in an N reg Transit flareside ask if the 'old car' was for sale, £120 cash. got told in no uncertain terms that it wasn't >:(

Fortunately, our bin men can't be @rsed to lift the lid on the bin, so I get away with a multitude of sins. :-X
So do I normally... once upon a time, if you left an exhaust in the cans and plastics bin they wouldn't bat an eyelid, but I suspect the problem now is that it might break their £200,000 bin lorries ::) They still get all my discs and pads, whether they want them or not :-X

Binmen are like Cyclists.  Some are good, some are bad.  But we only remember the bad ones ::)

And precisely why I don't recycle anything, everything of mine goes in the black. Including the old washing machine last weekend. They emptied the bin without a quibble, unlike our recycling bin, for having the wrong sort of card put in it.
