Broken poles! (1 Viewer)

[LaughingHeart]

Your awnining or your gazebo etc, did not fair well in the wind and now you have an anoying bent or even broken pole! Do you throw the whole damn thing away? Many people do and that is where this tip comes in! We have now got 'Recycle centers', we used to call 'tips'. That is where all the damaged awnings, gazebos and tents end up!
Now do you see where I am coming from? I have picked up several sets of poles and even complete awnings etc. I keep them in my garage for spares and donate to charity when some one needs a bit! I usualy ask a fiver....Cheap way to repair!
So, my tip is ,The Tip.......Paol.

I remember when I used to go to the local tip with my Dad and we always came back with more than we'd thrown away! Recycling at it's best.

Do you know what guys, not being rude or offensive in any way but I think I can find better and healthier things to do than root around the local tip.

Not at all. I regularly take Jill up to our local site at Haverton Hill when I have a clear out. Not too often though, I don't want to spoil her with too many treats

Actually I don't make her root round the stuff there - but she does help me unload the car

overpicking would be nice as iv seen many good items thrown away but.....scarborough council have posted notices saying overpicking is strictly not allowed under any circumstances.

its supposed to be a recycling center but 99% of the stuff ends up in landfill.

no logic as usual.:Angry:

The best thing about the Sita site at Haverton Hill is that they actually do recycle the vast majority of stuff - Link Removed.

I think more to the point, the tip staff want to sift through it first.

There aint no rootin' Jim, Everthing saleable is displayed. Bit like an old time junk shop. You drive in put what you want by your vehicle and toot your horn when ready to pay. ...........A 'rootin', tootin' tip!...........Ouch!!.......I will close the door behind me.
