Thurso recycling centre

[pig whisperer]

Made the mistake of not checking the opening times, open at 10am, close for lunch at 12pm till 12.30pm, seriously, can't they stagger their breaks, I can't bring my van in as it to big so being the eco friendly council they are, I have to take my small car several times, 30 mile round trip, brilliant

.....and the Council wonder why there is so much fly tipping.

Perhaps you could borrow a smaller trailer?

[pig whisperer]

No towbar, and my van is now classed as too big tho previously I filled in the form and could drop stuff off, I think the fact that it closed for lunch just 2 hrs after opening really annoyed me, especially at a weekend when people will be wanting to use the tip.

I suppose we have to remember that The Highland Council are not here to serve us with efficiently run services and that we must organise our needs to suit them.

[poppett]

No wonder folk get fed up and fly tip.

Agree also they are selective in what they take , cant take any old rubbish now only certain items and cant have too much either - Blooming disgrace , No wonder people are fly tipping as before Covid you could get rid of pretty much anything , Now wood has to be unpainted or varnished, Wont take old wood from a shed or fence etc, Only supposed to take 1 item at a time and not too much as you are not supposed to seprarate it on site . dont blame the Operatives as they are only doing their job as ordered by the Council !

Undermanned one person Mon - Fri two on a Saturday, could busy any day when I was there the guy was in a flap and cars getting waved in.

The less spent here, the more they can spend down south I suppose.

It's about time the people who are running the Highland Council were put out to grass and let someone in who knows how to run Council services.
