As long as they don't look like or admit to being trade.


Even so, I thought there were separate tips for trade waste, aren't there?

And many have bought legally tracks of land they aren't setting up just any where in a wood. They are usually in caravans that can be moved , no one else needs planning permission for a caravan.

Of course it's true .
They have cars the same as anyone else
One assumes they don't have pikey written on the front and even if they did you can't stop the public driving into the dump.
Commercial vehicles and pickups dumping waste from commercial enterprises are charged.

You need planning permission to make it a permanent facility.
Bring in utilities etc .

There are seperate tips that charge....but rarelyhave I been denied access to the public amenity tips.

When I moved back into the house I'm now in I did some renovations, only light stuff but I refuse to pay if stuff is from my own house...I explained to the guy at the tip and he raised the barrier so I could get my van in......I suppose the unscrupulous would take advantage of this.

Re: Travellers

I have a great deal of respect and admiration for the true Romany. They are, in the main, moral, hard working and decent. Their caravans - whether modern or traditional Vardas - are kept immaculately clean, their children are well cared for, well behaved and educated. They do not leave rubbish when they move on. OK - sometimes you meet a wrong 'un - but it is rare.

I have no time at all for travellers/tinkers/didicoys who beg, scrounge, threaten or thieve and would not recognise a bar of soap if it hit them on the nose. Would not trust one of them as far as I could throw him.

Big difference between the two and they should not be lumped together under the blanket term of 'Gypsy'.

Round here they assume you are a business if you arrive in a van, which most of them use as tow vehicles, no seperate area but get have to pay to throw things away. I am not sure how much it used to be £30 a few years ago. After that trip we always packed the car and didn't take our van !

Re: Travellers

My local tip One entrance for cars FREE.

One entrance for TRADE vans weighted going in and same going out and charged according to the difference in weight.

Thing with these Irish Tinkers they go around and charge a quarter of the price for getting rid of your rubbish and then just dump it anywhere in your local neighbour hood.
