Bulk uplifts

[telfordstar]

From April 2009 you will have to pay for a bulk lift from the council up to 3 items £15 canna mind prices for the rest. I'd better have a good clear up and tidy before then and get whatever needs lifted away by then. Whats the point in paying council tax ?

[changilass]

Great idea in theory but in practice all that will happen is folks will dump stuff and the council will have to go shift it anyhows.

[telfordstar]

That's what I thought as well it'll be off the rocks with slot wait and see.

That is rediculous! The reason i thought they done uplifts was to prevent people just leaving stuff lying everywhere! [evil]

And ur right what is the point in council tax?!

I have Home Aid coming to pick up more of my furniture today! They are very friendly when they pick stuff up!

But i think i may have to get a clear out myself very soon! :confused

This does not include extra bags of rubbish does it?

Ahh thanks Telfordstar!

I have alot of cardboard boxes since we just got new furniture. Want to get rid asap now cos they are just gettin in the way so might phone and ask for 5 extra bags on my next bin day!

Em does anyone know the number now? LOL!

[poppett]

805500 gets you the service point.

I am sure they stopped taking extra bags last summer. I have had cardboard taken away on a Thursday (heavy uplift day) by having it flat and tied in a bundle.

Hope that helps

they stopped taking extra black bag last year think it was the end of june or july.

[crashbandicoot1979]

Yeah, they don't take extra black bags anymore. If you have cardboard you can take it up to the recycling centre if you have transport.

[ShelleyCowie]

Aw naw! No i dont have transport :confused Never mind...i will just have to learn to live with it for a few months more til i get rid o it all

Logged on to this as I thought it might have something to do with Tina Turner on the front page of SAGA magazine.
