Couple of years ago went to the tip with (amongst other rubbish) a broken door mirror. It's trade waste, £10 please. Took it home and put it in the black bin - no charge.
A demonstration of stupidity in action on the part of the council - charging residents to use the tip for normal residential type waste in the belief they can offset some of their costs simply shifts waste elsewhere.
It makes no difference to the amount of waste created - just increases fly tipping or bury it in the garden behaviours which then needs to be cleared - at more cost!
