I think a lot of council owned sites are run by a out-sourced company.
A lot of them just crush everything regardless. Some put stuff aside and
let people either take it or slip them a bit of cash for it. This isn't
really supposed to happen and with the legislation might well get
stamped down on a bit more. Will be a shame, got a SS20 from my local
council tip!
