Need to do a tip run with some old bike frames, bathroom fittings and carpets. Anyone fancy giving me a hand and earning some beer/beer tokens?

So long as its not trade waste and you have a utility bill its fine. I've taken vans before. I use the tip in Verwood where the inlaws live. The Poole tip is crap. They don't work normal hours and are as anal as hell. Verwood is much better.

I hate tips these days, I took some old car seats to Pelham's tip and they initially wouldn't let me take them in. The bloke on the gate said they don't take car parts, so I asked him if they take sofa's? He looked confused and said 'yeah' so I enquired as what the difference was, so he mumbled something about not doing it again and pointed me in the direction of where he wished them to be taken. rolleyes Bloody tips.

No no no! You wouldn't get my M5 near a tip. The bike frames are: carerra subway 2 with 90% of the bits inc discs etc, an old (1980's) racer, and a crappy old Tesco's freebe that was less than safe or sturdy.

Good luck with that. I've never been allowed in Lymington tip in the van! I'm in London this weekend so can't help I'm afraid.

Worthing tip's like the Gestapo with attitude... Hence why 60% of the surrounding countryside is like one huge fly-tipping orgy.

I've got a pick-up which I use regularly at the Wareham tip. You've only got Dorset in your profile. Any use?
