View attachment 36715

I had to go and load 2500t of waste that was flytipped in someone's barn.
They rented the barn and ran arctic loads 9f waste bales in stacking them to the roof. The first thing he knew was when a repo man knocked on his door to see if he would open the shed to get the forklift out. Apparently they had been doing it up and down the country either industrial building or filling yards up with scrap arctic trailer filled with the stuff.

Some of the old rail yards in London had the sheds rented....... floors dug out, gravel extracted and then filled to the eaves with muck by tipper firms.

You could argue that's innovative...😆 All that crossrail muck had to go somewhere.

The land owner paid.
Insurance wouldn't pay for it.
The e.a. investigator that met us on site reckoned there where twice as many unreported as the land owners didn't want the cost of legitimate disposal.

Poor bugger...there was an organised crime group operating in the borders several years ago, buying up rural cheap land and plonking a 24 tonner on it and digging massive pits, all while operating a much more affordable skip service and dumping it into the pits they dug, they would cover it over and sell the property and rinse repeat. SEPA originally got involved and reckoned they had made around 2+ million in skip hire/waste removal. Goodness knows how many thousands of tons of shite are buried under those farms.

Used to hear of tyre disposal crowd at this racket, would rent a yard, start stock piling old tyres anyone would pay them to collect, once yard was about full disappeared and left the mountains of tyres for the landlord to sort 😶

Had some time this morning to sort some paint issues that have been bugging me for a while!
Solenoid guarding on the Engcon was painted with flaky pastry! And the jcb cab black paint is notoriously terrible, this is the second time this panel has been done! Not the best(I’m too fussy) but 100times better than before!! Will oneday buy a new side skirt pre painted as that annoys me too!

I noticed the local machinery auction has stopped taking tyres, and also when I took a load up to euros the other week, their paperwork say loose tyres no longer accepted.
Suppose they`ve been stung to many times in the past, they don`t sell, seller never comes and picks them up again.
