They pick them up free of charge because they know that people will just leave them out on the street otherwise.

most tips are recycling. all the stuff is sorted into seperate materials.

there's 3 options.
1- close the sites make people redundant and watch all the rubbish pile up all over the place.
2- make your money and charge people, but don't expect people to sort the stuff.
3- carry on as you were, and stop coming up with money making schemes at the expense of the council tax payer all the time.
