Any one else's council started this crap?
Dad took a load of bits to the dump yesterday from the house, and because he owns a Citroen Berlingo van was turned away at the entrance as he didn't have a permit. Eh?? Apparently, if you own a van or small trailer etc, you need to have a permit to dump your own NON-commercial waste

So, applied today, will take 14 days. Yes, it's free, but what a waste of time. Can only do 12 trips a year (probably do nowhere near that many anyway), and I can't see how a small thing in the window of a van will make any difference whatsoever!? Dad never dumps his commercial waste there anyway, obviously, but how can a card in the window make any difference!?
Anyone else own a van and had similar issues? Interesting on the link that if you owned a bit van, you can't go the tip at all anymore
Oh, rock up in a big estate with the SAME waste, and it's totally fine, in you come son, no permit required...
