I was half-expecting to be the only person there during my timed slot but there were about ten cars there, so the same as normal but without the queue approaching from Seafield Road. It said no wheelie bins or tonne bags so I had to be sneaky to empty my bag of garden clippings into the appropriate skip. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=20267#post-333762 Sat, 11 Jul 2020 10:26:57 +0000 urchaidh 333762@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Quality item!<br /> Was half awake for the tale of Kenny (?) from Portobello who walked to the dump, presumably Seafield, with his bag of rubbish but was turned away. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=20267#post-333755 Sat, 11 Jul 2020 09:49:15 +0000 gembo 333755@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Lot of chat on Radcliffe and Maconie this a.m. about the Dump</p> <p>after breakfast (I do not listen to them during breakfast) they had changed to calling it the Tip as The Dump is american</p> <p>But then one of them mentioned Stig of The Dump </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=20267#post-333744 Fri, 10 Jul 2020 23:00:00 +0000 dessert rat 333744@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Did you see Stig ? </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=20267#post-333735 Fri, 10 Jul 2020 20:43:21 +0000 gembo 333735@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>We did have the two forms of ID and proof of address</p> <p>But</p> <p>There had been some issue with the car two in front and this caused a big tailback on the Bankhead autobahn</p> <p>So we were all waved through Maybe just on number plates.. sighthill has the oil for recycling capacity </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=20267#post-333731 Fri, 10 Jul 2020 20:21:40 +0000 Wilmington's Cow 333731@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Only need that if you have a van :)</p> <p>As it happens I did Seafield on Wednesday.
