    It would be the same in Bristol - you are only allowed to enter the recycling centre in a car/van.
    You only need two tools: WD40 and Duck Tape.
    If it doesn't move and should, use the WD40.
    If it shouldn't move and does, use the tape.

    I like this. In order to be environmentally friendly and recycle, you have to expend unneccessary fossil fuels getting there. The logical approach of course is simply to provide pedestrian access to a safe corner of the site and have stuff sort out any stuff that needs to be moved around. But this is what comes of privatising this sort of business. They are not in the business of recycling but simply making money and they aren't going to lose any by banning people who don't use cars. Fossyant makes a compelling case!

    You really couldn't make it up! Nice bike though, how much are they? Did they ban you 'cos you weren't wearing a piece of polystyrene on your head? Might be tempted to try our local tip to see what response I get!

    Banned because I'm not using a road vehicle.

    In the context of this thread:
    As the boss of a major international recycling organisation with at least 1 branch, a website and a van, we collect from civic amenity sites. We have to wear hard hats and high viz jackets and adhere to strict rules about reversing, signing in, signing out, routes in to premises, routes out. We are even subject to waste carriers licenses, public/employee liability insurance etc etc.
    So whilst we go about our business in a highly regulated fashion, the General Public who are using these facilities are like rats - going hither and thither and are completely un-aware of their actions in relation to there own safety.
    It is a meeting point for the tree hugging looney lefties* to discuss the tofu salad they had the night before whilst standing hands on hips as a large vehicle is heading towards them with hazards flashing and "WARNING: THIS VEHICLE IS REVERSING, WARNING: THIS VEHICLE IS REVERSING" barking out as loud as dammit.
    For the OP, you are technically being discriminated against. I would write to the council saying that you are a dislexic, one legged, illiterate man with severe mental health problems and that you are also a devout muslim coming from a very rare ethnic group of which you are the 2nd last.
    They will jump so high, you will be able to see them soaring into the oblivion.

    BTW - I quite like the tree hugging looney lefties.

    Whilst I (we even) welcome the new 'faces' due to this thread being in BB for some reason?!, I am very dissapointed at the lack of insults, back biting, pictures of noorks and pure bollox spouting. I am extremely dissapointed that the thread has not gone off topic much and deflated by the serious lack of derogatory personal comments.

    Nobodies stopping you from posting some noorks. As long as they come from another thread they can be considered recycled and therefore immune to mod interference.

    I am registered disabled, and try as I might the Council refuse to acknowledge the fact that they were in breach of the then Disability Discrimination Act 1995, now the Equalities Act 2011. Even when the question has been put to them direct. They simply ignore the fact that they are breaking the laws of this land.
    We are seen as second class. Apart from one day later this year. For which they want as many people as possible on bikes for when the cameras arrive. Good time for the advertising side of the Brox to be used methinks.
    Suitable wording anyone?

    Firebomb their offices. Or chain yourself naked outside their offices smearing honey on your genitals and paint Van Gogh's Sunflowers on the glass door. Either method should get their attention.
