Tip

A tip these days is not the random pile of rubbish of my younger days. All the incoming is sorted into goods of various categories for on-sale, and a small fraction of genuine rubbish that goes to some hidden landfill.

At the Berry tip you pay for the privilege unless your load is deemed to have enough commercial value, whereupon you are let in, in the best case scenario, for free.

The local council and their employees are profiting from an asymmetry of information and resources, and all paid for by the very people they are ripping off.

I sincerely hope Freecycle destroys their business model.
