Only today did I have a leaflet from one of the political parties giving a bashing to the other party who lost the election (in GB) who were allegedly being harbingers of doom and gloom about levels of flytipping going up with the introduction of a fee for uplifting large items, saying how it had not happened, and that it was a good thing that people had to pay for the service to the benefit of other services and cooncil jobs. The pickup fee was only re-introduced about a year ago in the Lothians. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=2234#post-23803 Sat, 12 Feb 2011 17:43:31 +0000 wee folding bike 23803@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>The last time I checked North Lanarkshire allowed 2 or 3 big pick ups per year. Almost everything we take to the dump fits in the back of the wagon but we got them to pick up a double bed a few years ago. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=2234#post-23801 Sat, 12 Feb 2011 16:09:28 +0000 chdot 23801@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p><a href="http://edinburghnews.scotsman.com/topstories/Fines-for-illegally-dumping-rubbish.6716867.jp">"Fines for illegally dumping rubbish in city have doubled"</a> </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=2234#post-23620 Thu, 10 Feb 2011 17:08:07 +0000 Kim 23620@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>You mean they charge for bulk uplift? Everyone round here just dumps their stuff on the street and the Council collects it a week or so later... </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=2234#post-23617 Thu, 10 Feb 2011 16:42:01 +0000 chdot 23617@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Just paid a visit to the Balcarres Street bottle (etc.) bank.</p> <p>Sometimes people leave things that are 'too good to throw out' (or not) - unwanted white and beige goods - though I found most of an (OK) bike a few months ago.</p> <p>FOR ONE WEEK ONLY it seems to be legit!</p> <p><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/chdot/5433252511"><img src="http://farm6.static.flickr.com/5255/5433252511_d397e192a8.jpg"></a></p> <p>So if you live nearish to Harrison Park(...) dump your junk or pick up some mendable furniture/firewood.<br /> <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/chdot/5433252689"><br /> <img src="http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4109/5433252689_5c08561bf5.jpg"></a> </p>
