Illegal Tory Tip Tax?
22 Jan 2017
Whilst the local tips continue to charge for disposing additional bags of rubbish the Lib Dems have discovered that the charge is actually illegal. Legislation was passed in March 2015 by the then coalition government which prevented councils from charging residents to use household waste recycling centres, either at the point of entry, exit or disposal.
The government guidance makes it clear that residents should not be charged for disposing of any waste from DIYactivities, as it considers DIY waste from your home is a type of household waste.
