I sometimes drive down a road to get to a supermarket I like to go to and every time I go on this one part of the road there is a huge amount of rubbish on the side of it. The road would look nice if not for the rubbish because it's actually got grass growing on the side. I don't know why the local sanitation department in that town doesn't clean it up once in awhile. It's so awful to look at. The road is a ramp leading to a major highway so it's not like someone can park there and clean it up. It would take a truck of some kind and some careful blocking of the area so workers wouldn't get hurt by passing cars. I still think the town should clean it up. It's such an eyesore.Kearnygirlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01429493116809940852noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3556657999892839298.post-35651514988497936122014-04-18T16:12:32.766+01:002014-04-18T16:12:32.766+01:00What a lovely little walk!

I got rid of a bed in a similar way, i cut the fabric off with a stanley knife which can then be folded up and put in the bin, the wooden frame was sawn into pieces and binned bit by bit and the metal spring was left in the back street for the scrap metal collectors.<br />I've broken old washers down, weighed the metal in and got some cash.<br />Dave.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3556657999892839298.post-28322552795742265532014-04-18T10:02:39.776+01:002014-04-18T10:02:39.776+01:00Well, aside from the rubbish, it looks like a wond...Well, aside from the rubbish, it looks like a wonderful walk. In my previous neighbourhood husband and I would go out twice a year to clean up all the rubbish in our street and our neighbours would stroll by and thank us. I don't think it every occurred to them to pick it up themselves! They were perfectly happy to walk up and down our street and have rubbish strewn about. I find it so unsightly.Gam Kaunoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3556657999892839298.post-43344235455383085772014-04-18T09:15:26.656+01:002014-04-18T09:15:26.656+01:00I love the church and the old school.

He will help getting bulky items into the skips as you have to climb steps, and advises which skip to use. My friend takes rubble which they are supposed to charge for, but he usually turns a blind eye, and charges her a fiver once in a while. I know some of them are pretty strict which encourages people to flytip.Meanqueenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02705837426373680532noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3556657999892839298.post-68560814324613279092014-04-18T09:01:49.659+01:002014-04-18T09:01:49.659+01:00Hi Kitty.

I had a cast iron bath taken out which needed to go, broken in two pieces as it was removed. I had it in my garage for a while and every time the grey bin was emptied I took a big hammer and broke bits off it. After several weeks it was all gone. If you are going to do this wear eye protection, bits fly everywhere.

I have an unwanted non-working toilet & I'm finding it impossible to get rid of. Our council do large item collection for £32 but won't collect the toilet. The local dump won't accept it, it seems I have to hire a skip or hippo bag, at a cost of £50- £80 to get rid of the toilet.Hard up Hesterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02561421853249973134noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3556657999892839298.post-88052415352524894292014-04-18T07:03:03.458+01:002014-04-18T07:03:03.458+01:00fly tipping my pet hat ...where did common sense g...fly tipping my pet hat ...where did common sense go . We have skip sites that are open only at weekends , wont let you take a van . wont take half your rubbish , theyre so few and far between that theyre practically unusable. So of course scummy people fly tip , meanwhile theyre paying umpteen thousand pounds for flytipping police . Get a grip Councils and just give us skips and collect the damned rubbish ...rant over kate steeperhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05772776996207438308noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3556657999892839298.post-3014671433879441612014-04-18T02:02:42.331+01:002014-04-18T02:02:42.331+01:00Beautiful pictures.
