I got the dreaded diesel bug in the fuel on my boat so the tank had to be drained. Not a lot involved -= maybe 5 gallons. Anyway I took it up to our local dumpit with the intention of putting it in the tank used for oil disposal. "you cant put that in there" says the oik. " why not?" says I. "because it isnt oil" says he " and its against H$S". " but its fuel oil" says I.
I didnt win.
The same dumpit wont let you put any pots of used compost in the garden waste skip, again for H&S Badly trained idiots who didn't understand what they were told, perhaps? Tray of sand. Diesel. Match. Smoke. End of disposal problem. Compost....has to go in the waste soil skip. Garden waste is to make compost. Compost is soil.

I did say oik and I shouldnt have done. To be a bit more thoughtful, I reckon the issue in the UK is a combination of poor education and individualism. The guys doing these sort of jobs have to make decisions or want to make decisions to assert / express themselves and simply arent equipped with the knowledge to do so.

Our local tips are closing down apart from one in the nearest town. The lads who work in these tips are going to get re-trained to tour around and try to catch fly-tippers! I only tip if I get good service...
