Devon County Council to Encourage Fly Tipping - Updated

By pobox112 | Thursday, March 17, 2011, 11:24

From April 1st 2011, Devon Council County will start

charging for non-household waste that is taken to Recycling Centres. The minimum

charge will be £2 per bag. Another present from Conservative Controlled Devon

County Council after areas rejected Parking Meter Tax. We now have Recycling

Tax.

This has now been clarified - Charges will be levied on soil and rubble (including bricks, blocks, tiles, paving slabs, concrete posts, sanitary ware etc), plasterboard (including plaster and gypsum related products), bonded asbestos and tyres

brought to any Recycling Centres in Devon. All other household waste,

including garden waste, recyclables and general waste will still be

accepted free of charge.

Download pdf with Charges, Bag Sizes, Vehicle Restrictions etc.

All money collected at civic amenity sites will go directly to the contractor which runs them.

The Site Manager’s decision is final on the actual charge to be made.

So who will be monitoring what they decide to charge?

Where is the Environmental Impact Report? (With possible Fly Tipping, Burning and Other Disposal*)

Why not fly tip in the "free" Sunday carpark...because sure as hell there's no shops open to go to....feel free to soil our carpark, the council are doing it in the old cattle market with Pikies.

Non-household are the items that are now being charged for. When this was determined or how I do not know.
