What a load of rubbish! I live on the Lambeth / Croydon border, the tip is about a quarter of the distance as the Croydon one but they want me to drive the extra miles? Great for the environment and congestion. Lol
The disposal cost for wood is £70 per tonne and £37 per tonne for green garden waste. Wood can be used as fuel and garden waste turned in to compost. I think some auditing needs to be done on those numbers. They should be working out how the facility can make money then invite people from other boroughs to use it.
What if you live on the border of west Norwood and upper norwood se19. Can I bring ID?
