For the first time I have to dispose of a bulky item too big to transport to the Park Royal Recycling Centre. Being a responsible resident, I arranged for it to be picked up and paid the £25 charge. I now discover it will be TWELVE DAYS before it is collected! Now if I had dumped it on the pavement, it would probably be cleared within a day or two. So dumpers appear to get a better service than responsible residents!
I had a similar experience recently with a bulky item. I only just managed to squeeze it into my car to transport to Park Royal dump. The round journey of about 45 minutes and 5 miles added to the traffic with consequent impact on pollution. Around the same time a neighbour dumped a similar item on the pavement which was speedily removed.
