CityCyclingEdinburgh was launched on the 27th of October 2009 as "an experiment".
IT’S TRUE!
CCE is 15years old!
Well done to ALL posters
It soon became useful and entertaining. There are regular posters, people who add useful info occasionally and plenty more who drop by to watch. That's fine. If you want to add news/comments it's easy to register and become a member.
RULES No personal insults. No swearing.
Just paid a visit to the Balcarres Street bottle (etc.) bank.
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.
FOR ONE WEEK ONLY it seems to be legit!
So if you live nearish to Harrison Park(...) dump your junk or pick up some mendable furniture/firewood.
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...
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.
Now this is ironic! 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.
