Well dont tell West Sussex county council where i
get lots of tech junk...
i.e. Crawley recycling depot, its just sitting there in metal cages and
noone seems bothered it you take a bit.
Some local councils have gone really anal recently. Last time I was down at
the recycling/household waste depot, they had a weighbridge on the "in" road,
and one on the "out" road. Your car is weighed going in and coming out. If
the car weighs more coming out, you get to explain to the knuckle-dragging
rent-a-droid why that happens to be the case.
Good fun, especially when the "out" weighbridge is out of calibration
relative to the "in" weighbridge.... "But we had it calibrated four years
ago!"
