The only people responsible for fly tipping are the selfish people who fly tip.  If the recycling centres were to be open more often and not charge businesses, the extra costs would fall on to the council tax payers.

Â What makes you think that opening tips longer will change the mindset of somebody prepared to fly tip their rubbish? I just don't get the idea that they do it because the tip is shut.

leginemro   10 #221 Posted March 21, 2020 in reply to "Resident" you are talking rubbish ,if the shop was closed at 9.00pm there are other shops open to go to ,the point is there are very few council tips you cannot go to another if they are closed ,what about people who work from say 0800 to1700 and are unable to get to a tip, if they want a shop there are plenty to go to ,think before you comment Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

If in the south of Sheffield, either Blackstock Road or Beighton are open. If in the north, Shirecliffe is. 7 day coverage.  It's very simple.  I would also say that if you buy something, you are responsible for its correct disposal. If you use a tradesman, expect some costs for a skip or other waste disposal service.   Edited March 23, 2020 by Bargepole23 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
