Well you can ask...

[Broomies Mate]

What am complaining about is people making money off the things Im throwing away...

Not that I cant be arsed to advertise them on Gumtree etc... (mostly full of chancers anyway - advertise something for £20 and they offer £5 coz thats all they got left after buying their drugs/smokes/alchohol)...

A portable TV these days is useless without a set-top box/sky box (of which I threw away about 5 of them - 3 being HD boxes) and they did work yes..... but they didnt when I took the to the tip...

What pissed me off was the way that the vultures are getting paid a wage for working at the place and then making more money by stealing from their employers to sell on the car boot/Ebay/Bric a Brac/School fete/Church garden party white elephant stall....

If I had asked for something from out the bins in the metal pile - as I did - I got told a resounding no... yet then they can take what they want....?

And the place that I take my crap too is not buried in the ground, its burned mostly or recycled - not landfill...

Why should you care an iota what happens to something of value once you have discarded it?  If it is SCRAP to you, then forget about it.  I'll re-ask the same question.... why not advertise it as FREE on the likes of Gumtree?  (and this time, please answer the question asked and no sprout shite that Gumtree is full of crack-heads who want somethng for nothing).... If it's FREE, it's FREE!!!!!!!!!!  Crack-Head or not, it's better than it being buried in the ground! Burned or Recycled?  How much of that TV is recycled/  How much is burned?  What do they do with the molten plastic ashes? Bwahahahahaha.  Do some homework, chap.

Oh, and the reason you can't have that piece of metal is because if you got hurt (as stupid as it may sound) retrieving it, the company running the site would be liable and you'd sue them for many thousands of pounds to pay for Jagerbombs/Kebabs/Spliffs.  (I can stereotype too)

Are people now complaining that the stuff they no longer want (taking to landfill) and cant be arsed to advertise for free on Gumtree, FB Free To Collect pages etc..... are you really whinging about it?

no.  you need to read the op. or his second post.  or gastros post.

Jesus F H Christ! Joseph, Mary, Dave and the rest of the tribe.

YOU ARE TAKING IT TO A PLACE WHERE IT WILL BE BURIED IN THE FUCKING GROUND!

Do you not realis that those 'old' portable TV's could have made a difference to a struggling person with nowt?  Don't follow up with "They didn't work anyway" because you wouldn't have 'lofted' them.

I don't know how much longer I can survive around cretin like this.

it seems you've managed ok for your lifetime so far

Never mind... Only four more posts before you can sell stuff

This I fear is the main reason for the tip workers - fear of being sued by the hard of thinking. In Gastroland, everyone would have to sign a form when they turned 10. "you are responsible for your own safety. If you get hurt, you were probably doing something you weren't supposed to be." And if people don't know how to examine a car/ lawnmower/ computer/ nuclear warhead to make sure its safe, then it is their responsibiliy to find someone that does.

That gets my vote, GK; then the Safety Elf will no longer be needed and we can get on with our lives, free from officious, bureaucratic interference - YAY!

Ron.

Our recycling centre always takes anything of use value out before you throw it over the edge - good on them if someone can use it / make a few quid form it that a good thing

Stupid as this sounds I'll give a true story...

I used to work as a Skip Lorry driver... Fantastic job, great pay and perks that included collecting stuff from the bins. All of a sudden it stopped because elsewhere in the country someone had taken a drill that subsequently caught fire... They sued the employer!!!! Fortunately common sense prevailed and the boss turned a blind eye to most things

I would love to go back and work for him... A true gent and proper family business

[pauls]

Council tip here cuts the plug off every thing even if you tell them its in good working order. I have dumped all sorts of stuff that could be used by somebody else but it all ends up as landfill.

[Sir Tigger KC]

This is an excellent way of getting rid of stuff that could be of use to others.
