Just some of the fly tipping here today. There were 6 or 8 black bags, some split, seemingly containing old loft insulation, and these two concrete fence posts. Just what I need. Fly-tippers need to realise that there is a massive demand and market for things like this. They could probably ask £10 to £20 per fencepost on their local sellers page on Facebook, or Ebay, and have the cash in their hands within 48 hours possibly. I have sold what I considered absolute rubbish for cash - proving one man's trash is another man's treasure. Their loss. I am pretty sure that there is no demand for soggy ex-loft insulation. But I did ponder the logic of driving to this layby rather than the local recycling bins in Gnosall... costs surely can't be that prohibitive to dispose of such rubbish correctly, exempt from fines and associated risks.
